55 headers

I nhad the same problem on a drag car. I solved my problem by using Hooker wheel well headers. No a good solution for you. Go to the Stahl web site and contact them. They will have suggestions for your problem, including a custom built set.

cost of repairing Honda Civic cracked oil pan

J

Jenc on Aug 05, 2004

Hi - My 1998 Honda Civic has a cracked oil pan. I have been told by a mechanic that on each oil change, the gasket around the plug should also be changed (only a few $). He said that, in this case, this plug has been rammed in repeated oil changes, and has now resulted in a cracked oil pan (aluminum). My second estimate in repairing this is amounting to $425/450. Does this sound like a fair price or not? Many thanks, JencRead More

Repair counsel on a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra

russr on Aug 05, 2004

I have a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 3.3L V6, 4sped automatic, 4dr and I live in NJ. My mechanic informs me that my engine mounts are worn out due to age and it will cost around $265 (Parts+lab) to fix. Does that sound about right? I did notice some jerking when accelerating shortly before he told me this. There's also been a loud squeaky noise every time the car engine is on (regardless of whether A/C is on or not) and the mechanic says that the compressor is broken and interfering with the serpentine belt. He said that unless I get it replaced, it will snap the serpentine belt very soon because of the heavy wear it is causing the belt. Problem is that the compressor costs $800+ (parts+lab) to replace. It's around $400 if I get a junk compressor that simply enables good movement of serpentine but is not functional as A/C. Do these numbers and information sound right? Why can't my compressor just be fixed? ThanksRead More
