At least you didn't double post again.

I've had my pair of red wings for almost a year and a half and they have held up great. They aren't cheap though but you do get what you pay for though

I've only used the cable operated hose clamp pliers and they have worked fine. Just make sure you get a good brand. If you have to remove a lower radiator hose on a FWD car the kind you linked more than likely won't work.

Composite tools don't get cold after prolonged use. I have a composite die grinder and your hand won't get anywhere near as cold as an all steel grinder. As far as holding up to chemicals the composite part of my dads IR 2135 has held up fine after a few years of use apart from some scratches.

It turns out that they just updated the design. I guess that these were the pro magnums and now they are the ultra pro magnums. They still offer a lifetime warranty though.

Believe it or not those rocker arms have a lifetime warranty. They were made by comp cams but sadly they don't make them anymore.

I just realized that I didn't record the video in landscape format.

We finally found why my dads truck had an intermittent misfire. We had our new plugs and wires on it but it would still miss occasionally. I had noticed that the driver side valve train was making a lot of noise. We pulled the valve cover off and found a broken valve spring. The outer spring was broken in half and the inner spring was broken in three pieces. Luckily my dad had some extras for it laying around and we replaced it no problem. I also took a video of it running without a valve cover on it. I figured you guys might like the video. I'll upload it in just a bit and post it here when it's done.

The weekly payment is a big selling point for sure. They charge a crap ton of interest too. I'm not sure what Matcos rate is but it is %25 for snap on. It is ridiculous how much they charge.

I know that their die grinders are made by Sioux tools. They look identical and they have both listed in their catalog. I don't know if they make their impacts too or not.

You know what they say, No brain no headache

You stole all of that BMack. The flex shaft alone is $30 isn't it.

One of my classmates has a mid 2000s accord and it has the synchronized auto in it.

I'm not going to tech school for nothing lol. Glad I could help. If you need help with anything else just ask

Yes there is.

Is it an automatic or manual. Their automatics are essentially an automated manual and do contain synchros

If they lost the O2 sensors it would use the MAF sensor and the TP sensor an reference. I'm sure that they can be programmed to work without an O2 sensor because there are a few carberauted intakes out there for them. You still need the electronics for the ignition though

My dad told me it had something to do with the flow of the oil or something like that. With your motor being new varying the rpms can also help seat the rings.

You use an oil pump primer. For engine oil we used shell rotella T oil. It is a diesel oil and contains zinc in it. That's what we have always ran on all of our trucks and cars in our entire family that use flat tappet lifters. You want to run the priming tool until oil comes out of each rocker arm so none are dry on start up. You will want to hold the engine at 2300 to 2600 rpms for about half an hour and don't hold it at a steady rpm either. You need to rev it up to keep the lifters spinning to get the wear pattern set.

The starter for my truck draws 200 amps. No chance for your electric drill. The fumes on that thing look like they might get to ya after a while. I wonder where they are going to put all of the control modules too.

That blows. Didn't you say you drove a Honda.

I would imagine that tgey would be fine but you could roll them on something that is flat and see if they are still straight. Our engines teacher always told us to never soak the lifters in oil as well. How much longer before the engine is done? I can give you some tips on how to break it in. Also engine assembly lube is your friend.

My first socket set was a Stanley and I never had a single issue with them. I used them for a couple of years too.

Stuart from toolguyd posted an article on some new Bosch recip saws. One is an 18v and the other is corded. The corded one has a 1600 watt motor and has a nearly 12 inch wood cutting capacity. They also contain a counter weight in the gearbox for reduced vibration as well. They are to be released in September in Europe. No word on a USA release yet.http://toolguyd.com/bosch-ergonomic-cordless-corded-reciprocating-saws/?utm_source=post&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=next-posts

You won't have a dirty metal problem though!
