She says Fab works best on their oil soaked clothes.. Not only does it remove the grease, it removes the smell.

For heavy areas, use a spray bottle of Purple Power, and let sit for a minute or two. Then mop. Purple power…Full strength, or a very strong mix, w/ hot water.

]]> Comment on What is an automotive disrtibutor condenser and what does it do? the condenser, not the distributor? by honda guy http://urbanworship.org/2011/11/01/what-is-an-automotive-disrtibutor-condenser-and-what-does-it-do-the-condenser-not-the-distributor/#comment-8970 honda guy Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:54:16 +0000 http://urbanworship.org/2011/11/01/what-is-an-automotive-disrtibutor-condenser-and-what-does-it-do-the-condenser-not-the-distributor/#comment-8970 the condensor is a coil of wire inside a metal canister that has the function of capturing voltage spikes or surges that occur when the breaker points open and close. When the breaker points are opened by the cam inside the distributor the open the primary circuit of the coil that allows the electromagnetic field that has transformed the battery voltage to over 15,000 volts to collapse and be transferred to the spark plugs through the rotor. After teh spark plugs fire and while the breaker points are open there is still a residual voltage in the circuit as the primary circuit begins to recharge. That could result in a spike in voltage through the primary circuit of the coil when the points close so the condensor is used to absorb that spike and channel it back to the primary windings after the points close. the primary reason the condensor is used is because those voltage spikes occur in a frequency that can be picked up by the radio, particularly the AM radio band. The result of a bad condensor is a clicking noise that is heard through the radio when the engine is revved up. hope that helps the condensor is a coil of wire inside a metal canister that has the function of capturing voltage spikes or surges that occur when the breaker points open and close.

Fraudulent practice is usually severed belts, punctured A/C systems, damaged suspension components, damaged lines holding fluids, punctured tires etc. Taking old parts and cleaning them up to look new and then selling them as new parts. Safer for a customer, take a vehicle to a person you can trust or take an expert with you. Targets are generally frequent customers, women, and public naive in auto repair and cost.

]]> Comment on how do you go from being an automotive mechanic to teaching automotive technology to others? by Arrow http://urbanworship.org/2011/10/29/how-do-you-go-from-being-an-automotive-mechanic-to-teaching-automotive-technology-to-others/#comment-8967 Arrow Sat, 29 Oct 2011 17:07:48 +0000 http://urbanworship.org/2011/10/29/how-do-you-go-from-being-an-automotive-mechanic-to-teaching-automotive-technology-to-others/#comment-8967 When I read your first question above, I thought you meant teaching high school vocational classes. For this, most states have developed an alternative path to teacher certification with a shortened college program of classes in education. To find out what your state does, search the state department of education web site. As for a technical or vocational school, they may not require any particular certification. It would be more about experience in both your field of specialty and teaching something, though not necessarily the same subject. Try to think about how you could spin something on your resume as teaching experience. Have you trained any other mechanics in your shop on a new procedure? Ever teach Sunday School? Shown someone how to drive a manual transmission? Coached youth sports team? Helped out in an adult literacy program or mentored a high school student interested in auto tech? If nothing comes to mind, you might start looking for volunteer opportunities in some area that would fill this gap. I would also contact the Human Resources departments of Lincoln Tech and some similar schools and ask this question of them? It's a small investment of time that could begin a process that gets you where you want to go. When I read your first question above, I thought you meant teaching high school vocational classes.

]]> Comment on Does the automotive industry realize it is begging for forced servitude from the government? by Binary http://urbanworship.org/2011/10/29/does-the-automotive-industry-realize-it-is-begging-for-forced-servitude-from-the-government/#comment-8966 Binary Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:07:28 +0000 http://urbanworship.org/2011/10/29/does-the-automotive-industry-realize-it-is-begging-for-forced-servitude-from-the-government/#comment-8966 They realize what they're giving up, but they would rather give up some degree of autonomy rather than declare bankruptcy; bankruptcy would spell the doom of many executives, investors, and the almighty worker unions. Although the existing corporate fat cats would suffer, I'm sure other companies would eventually pick up the pieces and rebuild the auto industry. In the end, we'd all be better off. It's too bad politicians can't see the long term problems with bailing out a lemon corporation. The best solution, IMHO, would be for the government to allow the rotten companies to fall apart, and then oversee and possibly subsidize the buyout by other, more responsible companies. The main goal of this oversight would be to ensure that all the existing jobs stay in America, so that we don't end up with our auto industry shipped overseas.

]]> Comment on What kind of automotive battery charger should I buy? by Firebird Farmboy http://urbanworship.org/2011/10/27/what-kind-of-automotive-battery-charger-should-i-buy/#comment-8963 Firebird Farmboy Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:01:35 +0000 http://urbanworship.org/2011/10/27/what-kind-of-automotive-battery-charger-should-i-buy/#comment-8963 Well You need a 12 volt charger.. That will be what your car or pick-up is.. Some larger trucks are 24 volt (2, 12 volt batteries). If you want to use it to boost your car from a dead battery you should buy one with a "boost" setting. Don't try to charge a battery with this setting, you will ruin the battery. I have a 12 volt, 10 amp charger i bought for under $50 and it charges the battery at about the same rate as running the car would. It is safe to charge a battery without even disconnecting it from the cables with a 10 amp. 4-5 hours to charge a good dead battery is enough to put about a 75% charge in it.. Enough to get you going. Well You need a 12 volt charger.. That will be what your car or pick-up is.. Some larger trucks are 24 volt (2, 12 volt batteries).
