Re: 2002 ssei spark plugs?

.55 is good. Make sure you use ac delco iridium. Kills me. Fords love motorcraft chevy loves ac delco. Regardless of the after market quality. They always seem to run better with OE parts

Re: Tires tires tires

See. While i can find 17 in tires no problem. Its cost vs tread left. Tire rack isnt too bad on price as well as Treadcrawler.com. but i dont have that much to spend. Im looking to stay in the lower 300 range.

Re: Alright guys name that sound

I noticed as the cam got closer to theac compressor it got louder. Bearings could be dry. Also when your checking the belt. Turn everything listen for any odd noise. Also the method of using the broom stick works too. Or you can get a sthesiscope from harbor freight for 10 bucks

Re: No A/C, where to start?

Check the fuses under the hood first. Then you can check to see if the system is charged. The compressor will not turn on if the refrigerant level is low.



To bypass this all you have to do is unplug the low pressure switch and jump the two wires in the plug. Just to see if the compressor will ...

Re: No A/C, where to start?

100 is fine but I will say make sure you follow all precautions when doing this. Make sure you put a good vacuum on the system. Prefill the compressor. And use the correct amount of pag in the system. Last but not least. Check that the low pressure switch still works. You can bridge the plug to see ...

Re: rotors

Also I have found that if you can find rotors that have been cast with holes or slots they will last longer. Anything that is after cast drilled or milled WILL crack at the mill spot simply due to metal stress. Slotted rotors will wear pads faster than smooth. In my honest opinion. Go with a good ...

Re: rotors

All the info I can find on alldata says to start with the passenger rear then driver rear. Then passenger front the driver front. The reason I said something about proper order is because of buick and hyundia. Both have bassackwards bleed procedures. Hyundia starting at the passenger front the to ...

Re: rotors

I will say. Advanced auto and autozone both have a vacuum pump for rent. It should come with a complete hose set and a offset container for bleeding brakes. Just do one caliper at a time till you get clear fluid. Fluid choice dot 4. Mag 1 now as for slotted rotors. Rock auto has a good set as ...
