My car throws code 1 which is defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor. I replaced the o2 sensor with one of those bosch universal ones and im pretty sure i wired it right. I cleared the code and it went away for awhile. Then it came back like a few days later. I checked the wires and...

Ok i have just finished building my motor but its not running yet and i was reading about breaking in engines and i read that I should get tuned right away before doing doing anything else with my engine. It said that the motor could get messed up within the first few minutes because the fuel...

How are you supposed to break in a new engine? Ive heard of a rough break in and a easy break in. What are theses and why is it better?

I was looking at my valves today and there is so much carbon build up on them it probably raised my compression. There is so much that the dip in the valve is gone and its more of a flat valve. This stuff is like baked on how the hell do i clean them off? it looks so nasty.

Im rebuilding my engine and i am replacing everything but valves. the vavles have like 90k miles on them is it ok if i reuse them is there any danger in reusing them? how long do valves last? its just a mild build i just put type R valve sprins and cams in with p30 pistons. Thanks.

last night i was driving pretty hard around these really curvy roads up in the hills and the boot over the joint of my axle like just fell off. and i guess rocks go inside the joint and broke it cuz half the cage is gone and all the bearings are gone. I stoped and tried to drive the car again...
