Coming from Sweden I found it amusing to see a 740 being called a classic. They used to be one of the most common cars around here and I don’t think a day goes by without seeing at least one 740/760.

I’m sure Honda gets their money back from Takata (or whoever is managing their current concerns), but Honda still has to pay the dealerships to do the work in the meantime. Not that Honda has a choice in the matter, but that’s probably a fair chunk of cash sitting in the accounts payable tray.

21. Coils are another item that you could scrounge up at a salvage yard, but we opted for a new set from Accel (PN ACC-140043K-8). The LS valve covers and coil racks were left over from a Week To Wicked project. We did have an interference issue with the LS1 fuel rail and the more modern LS3 valve covers and coil pack rails. Our solution was to notch the coil pack rack a bit and flip the one coil forward using two small spacers (or a stack of washers in a pinch) to help the coil clear the coil rack.

Looks like a small-block Chevy, doesn’t it? This Duramax was being built to withstand more than 100 psi of boost, 1,000-rwhp, and was constructed around using the LML-based block (‘11+), which is said to be the strongest crankcase of all model year engines.

Back in the 1960’s, my brother had the timing chain on his Honda Trail 90 break 100 miles from the Honda dealer. 4 hours later in near freezing weather and some barbed wire from a nearby fence got him back home.

The challenge has been to achieve such pressures without increasing the drive loads from the pump. As most engines power the GDI pump through the camshaft drive, a conventional approach would usually require a costly redesign and strengthening of the camshaft mechanism.

Bozi was born in the land of the Yugo but grew up flipping Chevys in the Southeast US. His automotive background ranges from running a used car sales and service facility to building junkyard LS engines and fixing endurance cars. You can find him on Twitter and YouTube.

With sliding and dodging in and out of cover, melee weapons for close range, and reliance on performing powerful headshots, Days Gone doesn’t reinvent third-person shooter combat. Although enemies don’t flank or coordinate as much as they should, limited ammo and supplies in both what can be carried and how much is dropped often turns otherwise simple firefights into prolonged, scrappy brawls.

Lu Weiding, chief executive of China’s largest auto components company Wanxiang Group, became the country’s most generous philanthropist, with a single donation of US$720 million in the year ending March 31, according to Hurun Philanthropist List.

Interestingly, the MDX sold exactly as many units in January as it did a year prior: 2,968 vehicles. The RDX, however, saw its popularity grow by 40.9 percent.

I’ve had to have the intake valves cleaned on 2012 GTI twice already. I installed an ECS catch can system and can only hope its doing its job of keeping oily air off the intake valves. The last valve clean I did myself and its a messy job…
