As I recall, the conclusion reached previously was that the oil filter is generally the culprit. Some have a valve that prevents the draining of the filter, but some of them don't work too well, some

Usually around $2.50 US. Then again, I buy a bunch whenever they're on $15CDN? That's robbery. Just for fun, ask for a filter for a Geo Metro at the same time as you ask for a Midget 1500 filter. At

I had the same problem until I replaced the right side engine mount. The heat from the catalytic converter kills the rubber on that pretty quickly, and it collapses, which lets the engine drop a bit

On my VW Bug, I once had to do the same thing, except I ended up tying the pipe onto the breaker bar, and rolling the car down a hill. End of the pipe swings around until it hits the pavement WHAM!.

Not to start another "rubber vs. chrome bumper" argument, but the 1500 Midget in stock trim has a published top speed of 105 mph. I've personally verified that 100 mph is possible. Noisy, but possibl

Daryl's right. As I recall the change is simply to mount the loop the other way around. (I.E. Looking at the back of the tach, put a masking tape flag on the part of the wire that leaves the loop to

I think that depends on the tach. As I recall, some of them have the pickup internally, you have to open things up and do minor surgery. Others have the external loop that can just be turned around.

I'd think that your engine mounts would have to be in pretty bad shape for the header to swing 1/2" just from vibration. If you didn't replace the mounts when you had the engine out, you should take
