The battery seems to drain after about 200 miles. I tried looking it up but with no luck. At first I thought it might be the alternator but every other one I had to go bad just did suddenly and there was nothing to do but change out the alternator.
How do you determine if the battery is adequate?

The car is a Toyota Camry V6, 1992. The valve cover was leaking oil, so I changed the gasket. Inside was a lot of thick dark sludgy oil. I cleaned that off the valve cover, and replaced it. But now - the car starts easily, but makes a high pitched sound of metal on metal, and idles at 2000rpm. If I wait ten minutes it will recover and idle normally. If instead of waiting, I drive it, it starts to smoke from the engine compartment.
If I put it into reverse gear while I am waiting, the idle speed drops and the engine sounds better, the grinding noise stops.
Any ideas what to do? What could I have possibly done when I changed the valve cover to cause this? (I didn't drop a bolt in there!!!). Thanks in advance, Kali

I use Makita and Milwaukee power tools, but can't decide between Craftsman Pro or Snap-on for hand tools. This is for my father-in-law. He is a professional mechanic who recently had over $15K worth of hand tools stolen so we are trying to help him replace some of them. Open to other suggestions too.

The car starts fine and everything but the check enigne light stays on. The speedometer stopped working and then when driving the car will not shift into a higher gear.

My truck is a 1988 chevy silverado, great truck, has over 200k miles on it, so she's kinda gettin tired. The engine needs rebuilt or replaced no doubt, but I'm just gunna keep drivin it till she drops. The thing is, it leaks antifreeze very badly internally, and I'm 95% sure it's a head gasket or cracked block; my question is how do I find the cylinder that the antifreeze is leaking into? I bought some Bars Leaks Sealer, I have to drain the coolant and mix this stuff with water and run it thru the system, and do this continuously for a while, but they suggest finding the cylinder that it's leaking in, and disconnect the sparkplug, so that cylinder won't fire, so it will let the leak sealer work in the crack better, but that's the problem, how do I find which cylinder it's leaking into? Any input is greatly appreciated!!Thanks!!
