I own a 2001 Silverado with the 4.3 engine and a leaking manifold engine tends to struggle to reach operating temperature and the leak has been confirmed by a mechanic was quoted 1300 for repair i’m contemplating doing this myself but with a tireless 3 year old and a tired work from home wife it would take me weeks to get it done I guess the one advantage I have is that it’s not my primary vehicle and can sit for a bit if needed from the videos I’m seeing I still need to get clarity on how to align the engine before removing the distributor also the kits that I’m seeing also include gaskets for the valve covers should I replace those as well? Also what would be the most effective way to clean the manifold itself only break cleaner? Any advice is welcomed

Besides parts is there any best practice I should be made aware of when replacing these fittings? I plan on using the metal fittings.

For anyone that has experience with Dome shape and straight wall tents ( assuming the same capacity) are they generally warmer and help retain body heat inside the space?

Anyone here have experience with tent camping at Bonelli park in San Dimas California? Is there preferred spots to camp at? Or avoid? How are the community areas? When I called the operator informed me I'm allowed a 10x10 skid for a tent the tent I'm interested in purchasing is a 11x9 not sure if that's a deal breaker or not as I have no experience camping before. just trying to gain some insight from people out there.

I recently installed the steering wheel cover only to realize that I would also like to cover the spokes does anyone make a good one with the purchasing otherwise, I would like to be able to cover the spokes with something tasteful if possible they are also in pretty bad condition

Where I live we have a few customers that every summer experience wildfires in the area often smoke or low quality air get into the building through outdoor air economizers often open in minimum position. Is there an outdoor air quality sensor I could recommend to add to an existing control system I can program locally with a set of contacts or view through BACnet so I can tell the system to close off the economizers or shut the units down entirely?

After a previous post, I’m now considering switching to a core 10 or 12 person what I would like to do is to be able to fit queen inflatable mattresses on each side of the tent with the privacy walls up and a bit of room to spare along with having a common area for kids to play in and or store dry goods. Would I need something bigger or would a 10 or 12 work?

I have read that the frequency of use matters to there longevity is this true? Also how long have you owned yours and how frequently do you use it? I’m contemplating purchasing one with at least a 10 person use size.

Does anyone here have any experience with the razor version 22 inch griddle i’m contemplating purchasing one that I found on OfferUp what I like is that it’s pretty lightweight. But wonder what other people thoughts are
