In the past changing a timing chain or timing belt only required basic tools to get the job done. The camshaft and crankshaft sprockets only went on one way due to the design that used a key-way which only allowed the pulley to go on one way. Alignment marks for the cam and crank were aligned per directions from the service manual. Now many engines have no key-way and the pulleys are pressed on. Since the key-way is not used in increasing number of vehicles, specialty automotive tools are required to properly Align the cam and crank.
Looking for the Marks. Many auto mechanics, when changing a timing chain in the past could just look for the timing marks and not even have to look up the timing mark diagram in the service manual (me included). It was pretty simple, bring the number one cylinder to top dead center and look for the obvious timing marks. Most of the time there was only the crank and only one camshaft to deal with and the pulleys went on one way. Times are changing. Read more...

Changing your oil every 3,000 miles is not just a suggestion, it is a necessity. Getting oil changes for your cars on a routine basis will help to ensure the life of your automobile for many years to come.
There are a number of benefits that are associated with routine oil changes including increased gas mileage, increased performance and improved engine stability and life.
The first major benefit that is a direct result of routine oil changes is an increase in gas mileage. Dirty oil in a car’s engine creates friction between the moving parts. The more friction an engine must deal with, the more heat it will produce. This combination of friction and heat will lead to a decrease in the total number of miles per gallon each engine can go in between fill-ups. With the current gas spike that is occurring across America, wouldn’t it be great to get the maximum number of miles per gallon that your car can get? Read more...

I absolutely love this product!!! I purchased this to replace a much larger and heavier one that was a pain to lug out when needed, not to mention that it took up almost half of my trunk. This mini-jumper has been everything it claims to be and more. It is lightweight, takes up very little space and is extremely easy to use. You just connect the cables and turn the key in the car engine, and voila! I’ve already used this product three times in the span of about a month to jump strangers who have been stranded and I haven’t had to charge it yet. I can’t recommend this item enough! An added bonus is the built-in DC outlet that allows you to charge items at home that do not have a regular electrical plug like a GPS unit or an MP3 player. Do not hesitate, buy this product and you won’t be sorry!!! Read more...

Swirl Marks
Swirl Marks rank among the most annoying things that can happen a car’s finish. Swirl marks also known as the “cobweb- effect” are scratches that seem to center on a particular point. When you move your field of vision this cobweb effect seems to follow your point of view. This is what makes it unsightly.
It seems that the car is full of circular scratches all throughout. And yes it is! Tiny almost invisible scratches scattered all over the car’s body is what causes this cobweb effect. Darker colored cars are immensely affected by them.
Minor Scratches
Minor scratches can be defined as scratches that do not penetrate the car’s primer paint. Or the colored layer beneath most modern clear coat protected cars. These scratches are usually faint in appearance and can occur from small particles being rubbed against the paint. Read more...

For Christmas I wanted to buy my parents an auto battery starter that would work without them having to get out of their car, since they live in the Rocky Mountains where it can stay below freezing. My husband informed me because of their elevation, climate and they drive an SUV they would need something with a lot my amps; so with his help on line we found the jumpstart 4000. Dad was so excited to get it, he opened it before Christmas and had it out during our visit starting quads that had been sitting out in the snow and not running for quite some time. Then wouldn’t you know it our Ford F-250 truck would not start one morning, after a -9 degree F night, when we were taking our one year old to the Urgent care with a 103.7 fever. We grabbed the Jumpstart and the the truck was up and running in minutes. By the time we were headed home from our Rocky Mt.Colorado trip the Jumpstart had been used nearly everyday, even to jump the neighbors snow plow. We were all very impressed with Jumpstart 4000 and knew we made a good purchase. Read more...
