| Blue Devil Stop Leak opinions | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | Chaseboy4 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What's good everyone. Are blue Devil Stop Leaks really as advertised where its a "permanent" seal or is it pretty much like some Bars Leak products where its a temporary fix until whatever is wrong gets replaced? I was lookin at one of their bottles the one that's a Radiator and Block Sealer and I see on the bottle where it says Permanent Repair Guaranteed and I thought hmmm... is blue Devil really a "permanent" repair or is it the other way around where its a temporary? | |||||
| Answer to: Do you have to use the Acura Genuine Longlife blue antifreeze coolant in a 2004 Acura TL or is there a cheaper brand I can get without causing damage? Also another ? | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | oldandy | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Flush it out and use aftermarket asian blue like Zerex. You can probably get it cheaper than Advance, I just posted that link for informational purposes. Watch one of Scotty's videos on flushing your cooling system. | |||||
| Answer to: Blue smoke for few minutes when car is cold | 20Relevance | 6 years ago | ItAintRight | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| hey buddy merry christmas. blue smoke would definitely signify oil burning. When the engine is ice cold on startup each of the heads are flexed inward kind of like how your ballsack comes up to your body in cold weather. as the engine warms up the heads will come flex outward to a more flat position. this seals the head gaskets better against the flat surface for a better seal and the smoke goes away. this sounds like your problem, and its ok to live with for a few years if you are at a stop sign and u see blue smoke as you pull away from an intersection every single time then it is more likely a problem with the valve guide seals going out. this problem is more severe since u can burn a quart of oil every 1k miles or so doing this city miles | |||||
| Answer to: Camry blue smoke | 20Relevance | 6 years ago | anndel | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| blue smoke means it's burning oil probably due to the piston rings wearing out. Just change the oil regularly and it should be fine. White smoke means water but most likely due to condensation. Check the oil cap and look in the valve cover for any milkshake just to be sure. Check on the dipstick as well for milkshake which will be the head gasket is blown and coolant is mixing in the oil. If the blue smoke was continuous then it's time to overhaul the engine. | |||||

| @jacksonishere That’s what I was thinking. Bc other then those little issues it is a champ. Runs and sound great. And the blue smoke is only for a few seconds on cold start after it has sat for a day or two. Then after a couple of seconds the blue smoke goes away | |||||
| Answer to: I want to be a "car guy" Where do I start? | 20Relevance | 3 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Man, you live in the right time. When I was young in the 1970's before the internet we used to have to go to the auto parts stores with a 6 pack of beer to "bribe" the counter guy to let us look at exploded views of engines and components in those huge books that used to be on their sales counters. Back then, they had parts books, no computers. There were dozens of these books from various parts suppliers, each the size of a 1970's era yellow pages phone book. But inside those books were the diagrams we couldn't get anywhere else. Back then, looking up parts was a slow process for the retailer and if you went to the auto parts store on a Saturday, you'd expect to spend an hour in there. Here's a movie screenshot of one of those "parts book banks" So, we had to go there with our 6 pack "bribe" about 15 minutes before closing time on a weekday night when it wasn't busy because they didn't have time for us during busy business hours. Flash forward to the 21st century. You have all kinds of resources on the internet. You can find facebook groups or other social media groups for guys who love doing '90s Japanese tuner cars. You have guys like Paul Danner aka Scannerdanner who is an ASE L1 Certified Master Technician with twenty-eight years of field experience and teaches at Rosedale Technical College in Pittsburgh, Pa and offers a premium membership and study book for folks to learn automotive electronic, electrical and drivability diagnostics online. There are so many guys online that you can learn from. For example, Matt at Schrodingers Box, Eric O at South Main Auto, Ivan Temnykh at Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics, the guys at GoTech on youtube, the guys at ADVANCED LEVEL AUTO on youtube. If you have an hour or two in the evenings you can soak up more automotive knowledge at home these days, than you could get from 50 six pack bribes to the 1970's parts counter guys over the period of 10 years back in my day. | |||||
| Answer to: preventative maintenance schedule (ASAP) | 20Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What’s your year/make/model? Generally speaking my maintenance schedule is the schedule in the manual as the minimum. Based on what I have learned I’m this forum, I will now halve the intervals for most fluid changed: oil, transmission oil, and coolants. For example, book says 10K miles for oil changes, I do it at 5K. book says 100K for transmission oil, do it every 50K miles. book says 120K for coolant, do it every 60K miles. Each year, make and model may differ. | |||||

| High book price on Kelley blue book is 7K. Privately they are selling around 4-5K according to KBB. Realistically they're junk. Manual transmissions have cheap metal. Shift forks bend easily. Clutches dropping at 50-60k miles. Horrible cars. | |||||
| Answer to: Technician Shortage | 20Relevance | 3 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Can the industry change their view on flat rate as cars and motorcycles become more tech oriented requiring stronger talent? What’s wrong with a flat rate? If a job is based on a set book time (say 14 hours to replace an engine) and a technician finishes the work in 8 hours he is essentially getting paid for 14 hours of work. This is especially true if he owns the shop and it’s a one man shop, which is the case with the mechanic I usually go to. His decades of experience allow him to consistently beat the book time and reap the rewards, whereas the newer guys will take longer and not benefit as much. I think book time is just fine versus based on how long the job actually takes. . Also, it protects the consumers although 99% are not aware how long a job is supposed to take. So, if a technician takes 20 hours on that same 14 hour engine job the customer is charged 14 hours and it’s a loss for the technician (but that’s where years of experience benefit them). | |||||
| Answer to: Overpriced used cars | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Thumpy | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The value of a car is worth what people are willing to pay. In general Edmunds is usually dead on for book value I've found. Kelley blue book maintains two values, One being a car's value if you are buying from a private seller, the second is about 20% higher and is the car's value if you are buying from a dealer. Now anyone with common sense should know the value of a car shouldn't fluctuate based upon who you ae buying it from. Dealers try to say they "Certify" used vehicles. As a private seller it would be no different than me saying "trust me, I checked this car over and it's 200% perfect and good to go" Would you trust me? Many people with good credit don't realize they can get approved at their bank for a loan and buy a car privately. Dealer's prey on those who don't know any better and people with marginal credit who have no choice. Virginia came down hard on the Dollar down places charging 40% interest rates years ago. Now those places charge decent interest rates, but sell 4,000 buck cars for 15,000. They thrive on the poor. | |||||
