Hy-Tech Wheel-Lift Installation (Pickup)

1.) Rear Leaf Springs: We strongly recommend that you increase the number of leafs in the rear main springs before you begin the installation process. In most cases we have found that these additional leafs (Dodge - 4 leafs, Chev. - 3 leafs and Ford - 2 leafs), in addition to an in-cab controlled airbag system, will be adequate in most cases. The use of an airbag system has always proven to be far more effective than additional helper/overload springs.

Land Rover Perkins Prima Engine Conversion

TDi and N/A engines have some fundamental differences, mechanical as well as fueling. The major mechanical ones being compression ratio and piston cooling. The injection pump is tuned to suit the type of engine and expected use, so I would expect an engine from a car to be set up with the flexibility required. There are ancillary differences between engines, the most obvious being different water and oil pumps on van engines. Sumps from cars have smaller capacity than vans. TDi engines have a different breather system with two hoses to the sump.

1984-1995 Honda Accord/Prelude Emissions PVC testing

The PCV valve is easily checked with the engine running at normal idle speed (warmed up). Gently pinch the hose shut, then release it; the valve should click. If there is no click, check for plugged hoses or ports. If these are open, the valve is faulty. With the engine OFF, remove the valve from the engine. Shake it, listening for the rattle of the plunger inside the valve. If no rattle is heard, the plunger is jammed (probably with oil sludge) and should be replaced. Never operate the engine without the PCV valve or with the hose blocked.
Don't blow directly into the valve in an effort to free the plunger; petroleum vapors and deposits within the valve are harmful.
