Gear oil can be thicker or thinner than engine oil, it depends on what the base oil is, what makes it different is the addition of sulpher which increases its' ability to withstand high pressures. Some synthetic gear oils are like water but rate at EP (extreem pressure) 140, this makes them very...

Visited the Alexandra Palace "Classic" Car Show last Sunday and was fairly disapointed (no P6 bits in the autojumble!!!). But I noticed two "performance enhancing" devices being pedalled quite forcefully and wondered if anyone has any experience of them.
The first is called "Fuel Cat" (there is...

It will if they are using solid lifters like a BDA etc, but most modern OHC units use hydraulic tappets. These have two features which mitigate this problem, 1) They run with effectively zero clearence ( not really correct but the easiest way to describe it) and 2) The hydraulic operation...

Just a quick aside on the issue of stud extractors. Snap On make an excellent set which are not the reverse thread type (which is very important if the broken stud happens to be a LH thread as mine was!) instead these are hardened steel bars of various size and a set of matching drills. Drill...
