I have a worn 302 that needs freshend up. I need to know if I need to bore the block or if I could get by with a ring kit. I tore the motor down and I took some messurements. The stock bore is 4.000 and the most ware that I messured was a little less than 4.005. Most were about 4.002. I need to know what to do. Sure boring would be the sure thing to do but if i don't have to i can save a little over $200. Can anyone help!!!!

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger just bought a 15x8 rim didnt think to much about the size when I order for some reason was woundering if they would still fit my truck or do I have to send them back. I'm supposed to have 15x7. Its a 2wd. The company said I would be fine but wanted to ask all the mechanics out there what would be best to do.

Im thinking about buying a mustang really soon. we've called the insurance companies and got the price down really low. i got a summer job and saved up 8 grand. my dad plans on paying a little also. But I think my budget is going to be 12,000. But 12 is the highest and last resort. I've seen mustang Gt's under 10 for around 48,000 miles to 98,000. im keeping a close eye on 10 mustangs right now on autotrader. but If i was to get one with 98,000 on it would that last me. i hear its how the owner took care of it not how many miles it has. Is this true? or should i just wait and find a good one with lower miles and just pay around 10 grand or a little higher. i want the car to last me a while. i dont mind doing some work on it if it needs some but not major problems. im looking at 1999-2002 mustang Gt's. What should i look for when buying one. what are things i should look out for?

I have a '97 Mazda Protege. Recently I sent it to the shop to have my waterpump fixed and on the way bringing the car back home it still overheated and now it won't crank up. I've been told by many that it is my heads and that they are warped. I've found someone to pressure wash and rework them but now everyone is telling me that it will be a waste of time and I should just look into buying another car like money grows on trees or something. Is it really a waste to get the heads fixed and still drive my car or should I just chalk it up as a lost and wish for money I will never have to buy another.

My dad is giving me $20,000 towards a car for my 16th birthday (which is in about a month and a half) and I also will get $1500 cash on my birthday as a gift (and I can put that money towards a nicer car if I want to). So I'm deciding between the 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe and the 2008 Scion Tc... the Scion is in my price range and I will get to keep my birthday money, yet the Altima Coupe takes all my birthday money as well. I like the Altima better, but is it really worth my birthday money? Keep in mind I really don't have much else to ask for, but I keep stressing out because I don't want to make the wrong decision.

The Altima Coupe has many negatives as well, like a small backseat, but I like that one better than the Scion. I was happy with the Scion at first, but now that I've found the Altima Coupe I keep wanting to have that instead. Do you have any advice for me? Like which car should I choose and why? Thanks so much! Any advice is greatly appreciated!

My sister who lives in FL owns a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am 73702 miles on it, and recently called me about several problems she was having with it this is a email she sent me and I was wonder if any of you have any advice, or knew some one around the Tampa area who would be good to go to get it checked out.
-Email-
Last Thursday it rained and we went through a puddle and the car stalled out in the middle of it. We got the car off the road and got it started up and home. The check engine light came on and white smoke was coming from the exhaust and the car was shaking and jerking. We let it sit for at least 6 hours to "dry out" and then drove it to work. Seems ok on the way to work, about 5/6 miles down the road it started shaking worse, smoke started coming out and i couldnt get it to go past 35 mph. I started "pumping" the gas some and it got up to 45mph ok but was shaking like crazy. I got a ride home from work and let it sit a full day.

The Ford GT500. It's a powerful car, weighing in at a fairly large 550 HP from the factory hooked to a Tremec 6-speed transmission.

My question is: are you getting what you pay for? This car costs 50,000 dollars and you get 550 horsepower that acts like 450. That's right, I said it. This big lug has 40 more horsepower than a Dodge Viper and STILL can't manage to get the same 0-60 time, coming in at half a second SLOWER. Then there's the matter of it's top speed. First you've got your Viper SRT-10 - 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed bordering on 200 mile per hour - Then comes the Ford GT500 reaching 0-60 just barely faster than a Dodge Charger SRT-8 and hitting a mere 154 MPH, the same top speed as a similarly powerful Dodge truck (SRT-10 Ram) that weighs a good full ton more.

At 50K to the Viper's 80,000 it's a bargain, but for 550 horsepower, do you think it's up-to-par? Give me your thoughts
