chevy 350 cam question (moves in and out while turning) by
[email protected]
Recently my distributor gear stripped. I pulled the motor a part to
replace cam, and after replacing the cam I turned the new one by hand
with a couple bolts in the end of it, and while turning I noticed the
cam walks out about a 1/8 inch like it has a lobe at the back of it.
this makes no sense...

94 Pontiac Bonneville - Head Gasket, Seal, or Intake failure??? by
SURFnJAM
I have a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville, according to everything I've
researched (VIN & Year), it would be a 1st Gen. 3800 engine. It is

[email protected]
I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with 64k miles, 5.3 L engine and
automatic tranny. The truck "stumbles" at different times. The
problem generally occurs when I first start the engine and put in gear.
Once I begin to give it more throttle, the problem starts to
dissipate. During acceleration...

conditions. For those interested, it is a used 2000 GMC Sierra Ext. Cab

Oil Light / Bearing Clearance Q. by
Juan A. Gato
The oil light on my '89 Daihatsu Charade (1.0L w/ 250K miles) has been
coming on at idle for the last month or so, but only after about 20 minutes
of freeway driving. My first thought was worn main bearings. (Rod bearings
were changed 100K ago, so I don't suspect a problem there.)
But after...

Masospaghetti
Hi all - car is a 1985 Corolla SR5, 224k miles.
When the engine is first started, even if it's not fully cold, I can
hear some exhaust noise from under the hood, primarily when
accelerating. What would be the best way to pinpoint where it is? It's
definitely under the hood somewhere. It goes away...

My air conditioner was not cooling anymore. I bought a 134a kit with two
bottles for $35, recharged, and everything seems to be fine.
What is the advantage to having a garage recharge your A/C for around $100
compared with doing it yourself for a fraction of the cost? I know one

fuel 03-05 Z car and G35 coupe
Does this 3.5 engine _require_ premium fuel or is it just recommended for max
performance?
I will ask several more dealers next week. No one seems to know for sure.

AC slow to start blowing real cold air by
NewsGroups
Chevy S-10 4x4 6cyl '97 w/extended cab.
It used to:
1) Get to a lower temp
2) Cool off the cabin quicker

for the AC to take much longer than it used to ...
