I am new to building motors and i decided to take my first rebuild on a car i got for 50$ that still ran a 1990 Chevrolet Corsica 3.1L v6. Although it had to have head gaskets replaced. i have gotten that much done but i am in a bind with the pushrods it seems that some of the rods are longer than the others some are 6'' and some are 6 3/8" and was wondering witch rods go on the intake side and witch ones go on the exaust side? i have no shop manual i jus called the local auto repair store to get the torque specs for the heads and the other info i needed...but they couldent find any info on the pushrods please help thank you

In great shape, and running yesterday without problem. Just happened this morning. Thought I flooded it and let it sit an hour... same thing. Cranks right up then dies slow as if it needs gas. (I'm sure tank is half full) Any help before I head to the dealer appreciated.

I replaced my starter, cilliniod, and battery and battery cable, the engine will not turn, or even move for that matter, the car just clicks like the sound it has whn you have a dead battery and the car is trying to start, and the car still will not start, it will only click very quickly.

I bought some new Halfords wiper blades for my Ford Focus about 6 months ago and although they still work well they have got noisy. They make that rubbery squeaky noise and seem to grip the screen too much on the way back down. They only work properly when it's raining really heavily. Do they really only last that long? Do I need a new pair? Thanks

Hello, My headlights work, but not the tail lights. My driver's side heated seat doesn't work, and my dash board lights don't shine bright enough as they used to. And my driver's side eletric window gets stuck and it takes a half an hour just to roll it up.

My can't change a light bulb husband said he checked the fuses and they were all good. Any suggestions? Thank you! :)

Well it started yesturday, I have driven the car for about 3 hours around and some knocking sound came from under the hood, it starting knocking around 2500 rmps. My Gf said that the engine may be out of oil, so I stopped by Autozone, checked the engine oil stick, no oil registered, so I bought oil for the engine. When I put some, the engine stopped knocking, But today, when i was driving to work when the engine reached around 4500rpm's starts knocking again.Did the engine has any kind of damage inside because I was driving it without oil?

I have a 2002 Odyssey and just had the belts changed and the water pump changed all the work that needed to be done at 100,000 miles. It just started to chug at about 26 to 30 miles per hour. What might be the reason? This doesn't happen when I am accelerating.

I cannot turn the steering wheel, neither can I turn the key. The steerings is very stiff and is not turning in either direction. I think that I locked up the steering wheel or the ignition, but I have no way of unlocking it. Please any one have an idea short of a hammer and a screwdriver, please let me know. Thanks

I just noticed a noise when I turn my steering wheel, it happens when the car is in park and while driving. I tried to listen for exactly where the noise was coming from and it sounded like it was coming from the dash area instead of the steering wheel area.
