Is there any way to properly align the camshaft position sensor in a 4.2L V6 (from a 1997 F-150) without having to go out and spend $60 to $100 for a "synchro positioning tool" ??? I hate to spend that kind of money on a tool that I might never need again. TIA, john w.

I'd always thought that any head bolts should be replaced, but even more important for tty bolts. Local nissan tech says no - not necessary. Do I believe him?

Curious as hell about this. Was taught by the parents to drive in general on a 65 Chevy with an auto tranny. Then the parents taught me to drive a stick on a 67 Dodge 3-on-the-tree Dart. None of them had a tach.

I found some at a relative's house that may be 15 years old. It is in a can with a screw off top. I didn't notice the brand.

I read somewhere long ago that Bon-Ami scouring powder was good for cleaning automobile glass. The can even says, "Hasn't scratched yet.", with a picture of a little chick on it. So I read the directions on a can of it today and it says, "Don't use on windows or mirrors." Anyone have any...

A couple years ago, there was a thread in rec.autos.tech about devices to electrolyze water and feed the gases into an engine, supposedly greatly increasing gas mileage. Two web sites that were mentioned a http://www.savefuel.ca/oxy-hydrogen/ http://www.hydrogen-boost.com/index.html

I did some Googling and came up with nothing. Hard to believe no one else has apparently ever asked this question. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Anybody know? (Besides "because they were British", that is...)

My windshield is fine except in the morning when the dew and sunshine combine to make it impossible to see due to this naughty spotty on/off film that I just can't windshield wipe off. Even the mirrors are spotty in the morning. The rear and side windows are fine. When I was driving the neighbor's...

The SES came on yesterday when I started the car to head home from work. It was on this morning so I checked it and got P0341. Google helped me find out that I should just check the plugs and plug wires and work back from there. If the code comes back, I plan to follow these steps here...

Any suggestion on a good gasoline pump to move gas from one vehicle to another in a garage? My wife always fills up at the most expensive stations while I get my gas at the least expensive I can find using Gas Buddy. I'd like to weekly (or so) transfer about 15 gallons (or so) from my tank to...

I think it's safe to say most people know I am a Toyota fan, but some of the stuff coming out in the news recently is not settling well with me. First there is the allegation that Toyota made a "deal" for a recall for floor mats that is being interpreted as a cover up for a wider problem. Now...

A lady comes in to our store to get an oil filter.

I look up the filter and we have it in stock. She asks what brand do we carry and I tell...
