As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

    Daniel, slightly loosening then torquing the cylinder head nuts to 40 Ft Lbs will slow the oil leak if it starts to get much worse.

    Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

    Steve, H_G is currently staying with us and as far as I know, there is no timeline to when he's leaving. If Stator comes with more than Danielle has room for on his trip, I may have to make arrangements to have the extras shipped to my place so he can pick them on His way back to Montreal. I'll...

    Buying parts at the dealer

    Really? I suppose this minimum wage person should have any sort of clue when the cataloged is incorrect? I personally ran into incorrect catalogue's' just yesterday and I can guarantee most people would have never caught the error or have known how to get around it.

    Buying parts at the dealer

    All the old parts personnel are getting out of the business. It isn't fun anymore. Now the shops are all understaffed by those who have little experience and are left to trial by fire. On a lighter note. I look up all my parts online, cross reference them to the other manufactures part numbers...

    what did you wrench on today??

    Oooops, that's not good. Oooops, that's not good. Rebuilding the front end on my '02 Chrysler 300M and found this... When I get the lower control arm out I'll probably make a cap to go over the top of it and weld it in place. Not going to be a picnic. Did this a couple of weeks ago. That...

    what did you wrench on today??

    This one also had the front sub frame and rear axle brackets installed. The brackets they installed on the rear had already rusted almost completely through. The great stuff foam they used to "seal" the inside of the housing sealed this axles fate. It accelerated the rust out by trapping...

    Air Conditioning Not Working

    When the system is at rest, the pressures on the high and low side will be the same. It's only when the compressor runs does pressure go low on the suction side (L) and higher on the discharge (H) side. Can you see any evidence of oil on any of the lines or fittings since the release of...

    Air Conditioning Not Working

    What if it's not the compressor that's the root cause of the leak? May I suggest you add the necessary amount of refrigerant and monitor the system for leaks over a period of time. I currently have my wife's 2010 Edge apart trying to find where the rapid loss of refrigerant stems from. I had...

    Air Conditioning Not Working

    Is the HIGH side low as well when the compressor is running? If so that's an indication of a low charge. If the HIGH side is higher than normal then that's an indication of a partial blockage. Without knowing the manufacturers recommended pressures at a given temp you should be seeing the...

    She's been working just fine for the past two years or so. No rusted or bent vanes on that one. Bearings went out on the motor. I even was the one who originally installed the furnace. :)

    160 Amp Stick-TIG machine. Scratch start TIG. 155~230 volt capability. $199 shipped. You would need a bottle of Argon and a regulator to go with it in order to use TIG. That can be added on later...

    For a little more money you could have got a decent stick/tig machine which would allow you to produce much better welds.
