    Engine running like hella crap

    OK here's the story: My alternator recently died on me. It drove home just fine. The engine had the usual acceleration that it had. After changing it for a new one, my engine suddenly had absolutely no acceleration power at full throttle. So, figuring it just needed a tune up, I changed the...

    Question about the stock head bolts

    Are they one-time only usage? I've been told that there are some cars with stretch-bolts that can only be used once. This is on an 87 turbocoupe motor, with an 85 SVO head.
