    nice job! i think i'll give it it a try for mine. got a coolant seal fail last summer was litle afraid of doing a rebuild myself.

    btw you should get a Powerfc w/ comander asap. not cheap but probly the best thing you could offer to your car to keep it in better shape and it do the job to monitor engine sensors (air temp, water temp, RPM, boost pressure, knock sensor, oxygen sensor, injector duty...) in 1 place.

    Shaeron,
    I actually am using the APEXi PowerFC with the FC Commander. This just happened to be installed by the the previous owner before I bought the car. Unfortunately however, he was more interested in horsepower rather than reliability which probably is what led me to this rebuild in the first place. In any case, I am extremley happy I decided to rebuild this motor on my own. I now feel I have the knowledge to maintain this car for as long as I own it, so it all worked out in the end. BTW, good luck on your rebuild if you choose to go through with it!

Television Service Menu Codes

Image
Have you ever needed to access the service menu on your TV for something as simple as enabling a HDMI port? You take the time to call the manufacturer just to hear a bunch of garbage about how you need to "call a qualified service technician for that". Well, I and many others have been in this same situation which is sort of lame since you OWN the TV in the first place and should be able to enable/disable or screw up whatever settings you want. Note: If you do not know what you are doing in the service menu, you can screw up your TV. In any case, here are a list of service menu codes/procedures so YOU too can enable your HDMI ports. (Philips...what were you thinking!) Vizio With power off, hold Ch UP and Ch Down together for 10 seconds. While still holding Ch up and down together, push power, then let go. Select OSD button, there should be a letter in the lower right hand corner of the menu. Then hold OSD and Mute/Exit buttons together until factory menu comes up. Make a

Wii Energizer 2x Induction Charger - Flashing Red Light

Image
Scenario: Approximately 2 months ago I had purchased the Energizer 2x Induction Charger (flat panel) for my Wii console. I loved the fact that you could simply just rest any Wii remote (that has included induction battery installed) directly on to this flat panel device and the charging begins. Whether you have the motion plus attachment and/or the rubber protective Wii remote cover installed, you simply lay the controller down as indicated by the product image on the box and voila. Simple enough right? (Insert Disappointment Here) Well, yesterday I placed one of my Wii remotes onto the induction panel only to find that in about 5-10 minutes time, a flashing red light caught my attention. Now anyone that works with ANY electronics at all can deduce that "red flashing light"...is NEVER a good thing. Especially those Xbox 360 fans out there. Now keep in mind, I have only charged this particular Wii remote maybe 4 times MAX since I bought this charging system. (I d

How To Remove Dust "Blobs" from Optoma HD70, HD72, EzPro 745 DLP

Image
Just recently I have been experiencing what a lot of projector owners refer to as, "Dust Blobs". Upon researching this annoyance, I had found that there were a lot of projector owners out there who were trying to locate answers as to how to clean these suckers out of their own home projectors. For those who do not know what a "dust blob" is, it is when a spec of dust lands inside the imaging mechanism (lens and/or mirrors, etc.) of a projector. Some may think, "big deal, its a tiny spec of dust". Well, given the nature of projectors, this pin sized spec of dust gets magnified a billion times then is conveniently projected right out onto your movie screen resulting in most cases as a blurry hexagonal shaped "light " spot on the screen. This spot is typically just a shade lighter than the overall displayed image on the screen and is most noticeable when the video/image being displayed from the projector is black. The size or quantity can vary
