Cool. I was thinking about this the other day when I rotated tires and noticed additional howling.
It may not be the original culprit but would contribute additional consumption problems. There is no clear answer, but I was curious if those with...
FYI, the two motors that I have torn down had worn main bearings. I had a chance to drive one of them before pulling the motor and there was...
Maintain, yes; service, to an extent. Valve adjustment jobs are extremely rare. Given that the car runs fine already, and there is always the...
Given that the car is right-hand-drive, you may be out of luck. But scour the breaker's yards, it is possible that you will find one, since the LHD...
Get a second opinion RE: wheelbearing. I pulled a hub assembly off a scrap car that looked good in every way, turned freely with no wobble or axial...
