Fram still uses a bypass valve that doesn't close once it opens. First cold start will usually pop the bypass, and you have no oil filter...
In the performance automotive community, Fram is considered junk. I would see if it will cross reference to a fleetguard part #.
I will. I look forward to the day I can contribute to this site rather than just pick up info.
Porcelain could be neat. I would think it would have a better wear resistance than most powdercoats, but lose larger chunks with impacts. I am...
They can us infrared heaters to bake it on. Reflective covers on stuff that doesn't need the heat. And there are shops around that have ovens you...
I will accept shrimp, works for me for a light-ish red color. I wasn't calling it pink, just explaining how this 100% masculine, 6'4" southern boy...
You guys are dragging up memories of sitting on the 'Rose with Willie and Merle, listening to stories about the good old days. Waylon and Jessie...
Lol, I like it. Add white candy cane stripe to the propshaft and it would be perfect. On a only somewhat related topic, I used to paint u-joint,...
If you want it more redneck, paint the pipes red and call them cherry bombs... Looks like a good solution as is.
Olderboater, I understand and agree. It happens at all levels, but I think the "fad" factor has almost gotten out of hand in the wakeboard boat...
Olderboater, one of the problems with a conversion is that people think that tower makes it a ski boat. Then they try wakesurfing behind it not...
The wakeboard boat has become a status symbol, and the manufacturers and taking advantage of it. I used to spend a lot of time with a pro...
I've done a lot of wake surfing, the only situation where carbon monoxide would be a problem would be an old boat in a narrow stretch of river...
I believe they used a vulcanizing tape. Wrap it, light it on fire, then hope for the best. I've seen it in heavy equipment field fix kits. Having...
Sounds about right, I've only been there twice, and that was a few years back. I used to work with RideSmart, a trackday school for motorcycles,...
MSR off of 59, southwest of Houston? Fun track if they fixed the seams.
Yea, you mix castor oil with the fuel to spray a 2-stroke. Otherwise they tend to seize when you come off the nitrous. With that much, you could...
What model Ranger? I'm not familiar with any of their hulls that will handle that much speed. Although I know a few old tourney fishermen that had...
This is how I was taught too. I've had a marina refuse to let me fuel a boat while I had the cover off of an outboard before as well.
That is why I suggested a local performance shop. If a good builder has interest in doing a marine build, they could do a better job, cheaper than...
