Pop the speedo cable out of the speedo, see if the noise goes away or at least changes.

Virtually every car with (front) disc brakes, or 4-wheel discs has a power booster.

Disc brakes have very little self-energizing action, and what little they have reduces as the pads wear.

You are WAY over-thinking this.

"Priming" involves removing air from the oiling system--oil pump, filter, the larger oil galleries. It is NOT intended to spray oil over the fenders from the...

No, it does not make sense.

Describe what the steering wheel does.

Any engine with non-adjustable rockers does not change geometry with pushrod length. Pushrod length changes affect lifter plunger preload only.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "feeling braking in my steering wheel"?

What does the steering wheel DO? Shake? If so, most-likely cause is warped rotor(s), but pull the handle on the park brake, gradually...

Acetylene or Propane plus Oxygen is much hotter, works WAY better.

As said--heat the plug, not the casting.

Dinosaurs all died 65 million years ago. Ten years on processed oil doesn't seem that much by comparison.

Not what I'd expect. I'm not in a position to challenge B&M, but I'd have expected 170--200 in the pan, not in the cooler return-tube. Many modern cars have transmission temperature sensors on the...

I don't think it's anywhere near as critical as some folks have made it out to be.

That's .031 at the adjuster nut. Not .031 at the lifter plunger where it matters. You're not taking rocker ratio into account. The lifter plunger is being depressed more than .031.


Yes, IF...

3 psi is probably insufficient.

The gaskets aren't soggy because the fuel level is too low.

What you have going for you is that there's three needles 'n' seats instead of one. More-or-less...

I'd expect that would lower volume, but not pressure. May be so slight that you'd never notice.

Pressure is set via the internal spring.

Oldsmobile restricted their heater supply, so did Chevrolet.

No promises on Buick and Cadillac, but my guess is that all GM divisions restricted the heater core flow somehow. Either a small hole...

First Guess: Not likely due to the width of the trans bellhousing where the torque converter dust pan attaches.
