    USA Buick parts company website, FYI

    I came across this USA company while googleing timing covers, and their catalouge makes for some interesting solutions to low oil pressure issues as the Buick V6 engines have similar issues with the RV8 engine seeing as they share common timing covers/oil pump set ups. pg 76 in their catalouge...

    gear knob selecter on auto's

    the gear knob selecter on my V8 auto is coming adrift, it seems to be kept on by some sort of mastic which is softening up. having taken off the one on the parts car it also had similar problem.

    Loose Timing Chain

    Having just overhauled the fuel pump, I noticed through the front cover that my timing chain was quite loose with not a lot of tension in it. i am thinking this need looking at pretty soon as (not having a workshop manuel yet) I don't think there are any tensioners on this chain? so this would...

    power steering hose to pump

    Why such a long hose to supply the fluid to the power steering pump, it runs across the bulkhead down the drivers side (RHD) then across in front of the radiator then sharply bends (with a kink I noticed on my hose) up to the pump.
