Handy Hints
Here are a couple of hints I have gleaned from Popular Mechanics that may be of some use to you fellow DYI Pelicans.
You cant find the source of oil leaking from your motor...
First, spray the area with Easy Off Oven Cleaner. (In most cases its cheaper than automotive cleaners. ) Then hose the area down and let it dry. Then spray on some aerosol foot powder. The oil will stain a path in the powder, which you can follow back to the source.
Got a stubborn nut you can't remove...
Std practice is to cut the nut off with an oxy-acetlylene torch, or cut the nut with a chisel. Try heating the nut and touching a candle to the exposed thd'd area. The wax will melt and flow into the thds, acting as a lubricant.
That is all for now...
