    Bypass filtration question and full flow oil filters

    The reason I'm asking this is that I have installed a NTZ bypass oil filter that filters down to 1/2 micron. My Blackstone reports are all coming up great and I've got 7k on the full flow oil filter now. I figure that since the NTZ filter is removing particles down to 1/2 micron (just like...

    Truck blew the gasket on the driver's side cylinder head. We worked from 9am to 1am last night on the job. Talk about a big job, sheesh.

    Getting this annoying engine shudder at highway speeds.

    Hello all, Had to do some long distance trips today and noticed something that I didn't much care for. At around 55-65 there is a constant 'shudder' like there is a cylinder misfiring. When I back off the throttle it goes away or if I feather the throttle down the road, it smoothes out...

    Scored a good deal on a 1973 Dodge Monaco with only 63k on the clock for a couple hundred bucks. It's going to be an extra car just in case and occasional car show contestant. Problem is this, the current owner (my barber) told me that Les Schwab told him that the right front bearings were...
