I have a hairline crack in my 99 Nissan Altima. It overheated, so I pulled over, filled the resevoir with water, and finally made it home. I put Bars leak in it, and it is still beading.

Is there a way to have it professionally fixed?
Perhaps some kind of resin?

Should I have it towed? or should I drive to a close repair shop?

Thanks so much!

I just had my brakes replaced a few months ago, and about 6 weeks ago I hit a tire on the freeway going 50 miles per hour. The abs light and check brakes light both came on and have been on since. I took my truck to les schwab and they said they cannot find anything wrong, but when I apply the brakes about 75% of the time it make a noise that sounds much like someone running over a soda can and crushing it. The faster I am going when I apply the brakes the faster the noise repeats, slower speed = slower repeat of noise. The brakes seem to work fine. Any Ideas? Should I take it in to the dealer? Its a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer EXT. So its a big heavy vehicle and I am extremly nervous about this.

Block Casting Number is 3834810. I believe the block date code is G305. The stamped engine number is TI027GF. And yes the second character is a capital letter "I" not a number 1. There are no other numbers on the stamp pad.
Can anyone give me some help in decoding the number? Is it a 327 ? What horse? Was it a single 4-bbl? What did it come out of? Runs strong with 192-heads and a single Holley so I hate to toss it without knowing what it is. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm going to give my son the 1999 Dodge Intrepid we have, he is 16 and he is going to get his license soon. He loves to do modifications with cars...We already debadged everything for that clean look.....We sanded and spray painted the bottom half of the car black lol (there were many scratches, so the black spray paint hid all of them) but the spray paint is holding up good (even through two winters.) Anyways What else can we do to this project car, that doesn't cost a lot of money, i don't want him putting too much money into this car.

I have a hot dog cart with tail lights. When I turn my truck lights on (05 F150) the tail lights wont work. I can get one blinker to operate correctly, but when I turn the other one on, both tail lights flash. I seem to be getting power from two pins when I test with a meter, but one has no power ( even with the lights to the truck on ). I had a 4x8 cargo trailer and everything worked fine at first and then the tail lights did not work on that, just the blinkers and the hazards. Could this be a fuse on the truck? Sorry for writing a book.

I saw on "Mythbusters" the other day that a standard, diesel car, will run off of used cooking oil without any modifications. But there wasnt very much information given. Can you put cooking oil AND diesel into the gas tank? are there any longterm problems?

The car starts fine but it is very difficult (slow) up hills. However, sometimes after it has been sitting for a while it drives ok.

Via Compression Test... How can you tell if your VALVE is cracked/blown or you blew a hole in your PISTON?

I dont hear clanking. Not a ROD I'm guessing. I hear a obvious missing. Like not firing on all 6 cyl's type missing.

Compression tested her. Cyl.3 showing its gone. She doesn't clank tho.

Whats the likelihood it being a piston or valve in a turbo application(Grand National, 3.8l V6 Turbo)?

Will the cyl. walls need resurface? If so I would need to bore-over, correct?

My Rover 400 frequently cuts out at traffic lights & roundabouts. Engine seems to shudder momentarily before completely cutting out and sometimes its an ordeal trying to restart it. To avoid it, I put the handbrake on and keep revving it until I can move off but this is not the answer....any ideas?
