In regards to engine balancing, I understand the idea of balancing the crankshaft and flywheel, but am a little unclear on balancing the piston/rod assembly. Is it just a matter of removing metal fro

This is going to be my last post to the list on the subject, since I got the answer to my original question, but I can't pass this up. Do the two replies from Ed sound like they were posted by two di

Craig, When you open the door, you'll be presenting one side of the amp with an infinite-impedance load, so it will consume no power from that amp channel. Theoretically, if you run the stereo for a

I think the phenomenon you described is typical, although probably not to the extent that's showing on your gauge. My wife's car also shows increasingly hotter for a few minutes after the car is tur

Warren, I think it would be a good idea to replace the bearings as you described. Not all parts of the engine wear out at the same rate, and I've heard 30-40,000 miles as a fair service interval for
