Yep, they're drill stops to attach to a bit when you want to drill into something to a certain depth, rather than drilling through it.

What I'm most confused about is the interactions between items numbered 4, 6, and 7.

It's either/or. Either the rods have pressed-in bolts (4) and nuts (6), or the caps have bolts that thread into the rods (7).

So I've been researching my oil leak, how an engine can leak oil out the back after the RMS has been replaced. Is anyone here familiar with Ford 302s? According to what I've found on the interwebs, one common result for failed PCV valves is to also blow out the back of the lower intake gasket, which just so happens to be right above the RMS. Does that sound right? I've replaced the upper intake gasket a few times, but I've never done the lower. It looked like too much work in my book.

Yep. Ford used cork intake end gaskets, which tended to push out from under the manifold and leak.

E: replace them with a fat bead of RTV.

Friend has a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, 2.0 I4, CVT.

Needs a cat. It's long out of emissions warranty. Rockauto only lists a cat rebuild service. Tried the O2 spacer trick on the post-cat sensor, it trips P0137 (sensor 2 low voltage) instead of P0420. Taking the spacer back out gets P0420 back.

Anyone know a source outside of Mitsubishi for a bolt-in cat? Or is she limited to getting a generic welded in?

Partsgeek lists a few direct-fit cats.

Is it common to have two belts running in series that follow the same path? It looks to me like I have two belts that run off the crank, up to the water pump/fan, then over to the alternator. One is in front of the other and the follow the exact same path without deviation, every pulley having two grooves, one for each belt.
If I were to order replacement belts would the part number include two belts or do I have to buy two of the things?

:confused:

Wow, I thought only Chrysler did that. You have to ask for a "matched set", for obvious reasons.

As long as the float/needle/seat are working properly, fuel delivery should stop when the float bowl is full. You can remove a large vacuum line (PCV/power brakes) to reduce vacuum enough to prevent fuel from being drawn in when the engine turns over. You'll get an accelerator pump shot when you open the throttle, but that should be it. (Run the test with the throttle wide open so the engine gets max airflow for accurate results.)

2002 Civic EX, D17A2, 4AT. It cold-starts/runs/drives fine, but if run up to temp then allowed to heat-soak for 5-15 minutes, it won't run under load. Any attempt to accelerate causes it to cough, sputter, and die. It sounds to me like fuel, but I just installed a new Delphi pump module this spring. I also don't get the heat-soak connection. Thoughts?
