    Yes, but now that I'm up to operating temp... Note the 301 redirect when I enter "google.com". Google's server just redirects to their www subdomain.

    To simplify my original post, the "www." pretext was an accident that people began believing was required in a URL, when in fact, it's not. So, no "www.", because it always has and always will be useless.

    brake fluid help??

    Probably. DOT 5.1 (polyethylene glycol) is also hygroscopic, while DOT 5 is (diorgano polysiloxane) is hydrophobic.

    brake fluid help??

    DOT 5.1 is polyethylene glycol based. DOT 5 is silicone-based. DOT 5 non-silicone is an oxymoron; DOT 5 fluid, by definition, contains at least 70% diorgano polysiloxane (silicone), by weight).

    Self-Sustaining Go Kart

    Welcome to DIYGK. Contrary to what mckutzy said, no, that's not possible. That principle is known as "perpetual motion" and is physically impossible (see: Law of Conservation of Energy)

    Engine won't start when hot after sitting a few minutes

    Since when is a no-start condition a symptom of worn piston rings? Worn rings would result in excessive blow-by and oil consumption, and potentially, hard cold-starting and poor performance.

    How do you say that in Swedish?

    Yeah, well...my Mom can't stand when I let slip 'slow up'. "You sound just like your father!" :surrender: Virginians have a funny thing for naming towns. We have: Long Island South Boston Lord Botetourt (Pronounced "bot-uh-tot") Buena Vista (bu-na vis-tuh) Gloucester (Glos-ter) Yeah, dunno...

    How do you say that in Swedish?

    My boss, who's from Massachusetts, was giving me a hard time the other day because I was telling him to "cut the engine off" and "cut it back on". Apparently that's a southern US thing. My grandmother says "over yonder", and I spend many weekends "down home" where she grew up. I'm sure there...

    It's REEEEALLY Annoying When...

    I've had great luck on Ebay. Bought ski boots for $60 and skis for $90 last winter. Just recently bought a new HP power cord for my laptop for $25 and a 50mm enlarger lens for $11 shipped.
