The only thing that can possibly top that door handle is a shop rag for a gas cap. Molotov Metro . . .

From the Oil Filter Study page: Wix These filters are manufactured by the Dana corporation, who also manufacturesall of the Wix clones. These include NAPA and many OEM filters. This filter has metal cartridge end caps, but has a separate bypassvalve that rests against the bottom end cap, like the AC Delco. Irefer to this as a two-piece filter cartridge. Like the Champion,it uses an anti-drainback valve that doubles as the bypass valve-to-backplateseal. Instead of the leaf-spring-type spacer that most filters use,these use a stiff coil spring at the top of the cartridge. Like thePurolator, the filter element paper media is stronger than the Championmedia. The only drawback to this design is that the bypass valveseats metal-to-metal against the bottom cartridge end plate. Thiscould allow dirty oil to seep from the dirty side to the clean side ofthe filter, bypassing the element. The design will not allow oilto seep back into the pan, though. The telltale signs for a Wix are: 6 large holes for the oil inlet withonly the black anti-drainback valve to be seen through them. Thereare 6 "notches" that hold the gasket in place. Through the centeroutlet hole, you can see the bypass valve spring. Usually the backplatemetal is shiny. This filter features a good surface area, but a lot of shallower pleats. This makes it similar to the Purolator's pleats. Plus they come from NAPA which I boycott because of their bankers hours they run because they have the gov't contract and don't care about the average Joe.

Also I adjusted my steering rods -2 turns because the fronts of the wheels were tipped towards each other so I -2 turns of the rods and that brought them straighter I hope. I can not see the tilt but I know it's tere I can feel the slight slight slight drag on the front wheels. If this feels worse ill +2 turns back to and then try +2 more and see if that's better, if there was only a way to fix the wheel angle now. |
