[Only the Tony]

This is #3. But I figured it out finally. Both times I ordered a stock camshaft and both times I got a not even close to stock cam. Early intake valve closing resulted in such high compression at 2000rpm that the ecm could no longer compensate for detonation control. Talked to Schneider camshaft today and he knew all about it. Going to send him my cams and he is going to try to regrind them into something I can use. And put a little extra in there while he's at it!


What is the year and model of Acura you got Tony?

06 TL with AT5. In-laws car. Best info I can get from them being halfway lucid sounds like 3rd gear clutch pack problems, reading I did seems like this is typical of that year and couple prior. Battery dead so I have no codes to go off of. I think we will try drain/fill and replace the 3rd and 4th shift pressure switches. Seems to be cheapest option we have and trying to not sink a bunch of money in it. Solenoid screens were clean but the fluid is a bit dark.

Those are major problem child transmission. Unfortunately I feel any money you put into that transmission at this point is a waste unless the money is spent on a rebuild. How many pieces is the dash in? I remember the dashboards always being cracked at best but usually missing pieces.

Haven't really looked at the dash, been thinking about the transmission. I figured for the $100 it would cost for fluid and a couple of pressure switches it was worth a try. Cheaper than a diagnostic somewhere and we are trying to do this on the cheap just to get it going for a little while. Thanks for the info, I'll let the BIL know.

I've read about it.
I've just always done it on a open fire.
Always used Vegetable oil, but knowing how it can go rancid & hardly using these pans, I went with Lard this time.

Both of these were totally unusable.

Open fire does a decent job (much hotter than a oven can go).

I like to keep bear grease around for when I start fresh on a skillet, but daily sausage/bacon cooking maintains seasoning real nice once you get them how you want them.

I like pictures with busy a background, gives the eye something to see.. Merry Christmas to you and Yours.
A local liquor store had a sign out (Before Thanksgiving) It said "So you already have your Christmas tree up. Me Too, and I'm already drunk for Saint Paddies Day"

somebody has a dark sense of humor…. this is a tree somebody obviously hit years ago.

I thought that engine spent more time on the stand than in the truck. Hopefully you get it this time. I don't recall having to take that much truck apart to pull the engine though.

Who ever says 300s are bullet proof is a liar! Lol!

It sure feels that way.

You don't but it's easier to get the belt off!!!

Your having so kind of winter, and needing a fire when it’s 75° out because it’s cold!
