Here are some more information for Short Block Used:

People and auto consumers purchasing used vehicles usually have a precept and adage that the lower the miles or kilometers on the odometer the better. They often shy away from what be well considered well driven and well cared for cars all because they had too many miles on them - even though these vehicles were freeway driven with little actual use on the engine and power train. The Holy Grail seems to find a pre owned automobile with virtually no miles - driven by the proverbial little old lady from Pasadena only to church on Sundays. Yet the undriven low mileage vehicle may well be your worse automobile purchase.

Vehicles with very low miles suffer from a wrath of problems from their little use or extended storage. The California car above might well be a wiser choice than one from the northern states of the US or the cold climate up there to the North in Canada during frigid cold winter temperatures.

Low miles are hard or a car and its engine. Usually low miles mean short trips only - that is to the supermarket or church. The engine never fully warms up. Hence water condenses in the crankcase from condensate from outside humidity touching the cold engine metal. Next because the trips in the car are so short the engine and its oil never fully warm and heat up to boil off or evaporate the resulting water and liquid that sits in the engine oil. Hence the engine is not properly lubricated. Each time the engine starts in this cold condition is like starting a warm engine many times. In the cold frigid winter of the northern states or the Canadian prairie provinces one cold start in the - minus 20 to - minus 40 range without the engine being warmed by a electric plug in block heater has the full effect on engine wear and tear to thousands of warm weather starts. Higher viscosity oil at lower temperatures thickens up, it's not until the engine warms up does this thick oil flow, spread and lubricate the engine and its vital components.

On top of that since the car is used so little and so few miles on the road usually the owners figure that the car needs less maintenance and oil changes - since has been hardly used or driven. You can also bet also that as a result thicker summer oil is in the crankcase for the winter, or perhaps thinner winter oil is carried over to the summer engine crankcase oil.

However thinner oil in this type of vehicle with these driving conditions may not overall is a bad idea.

Lastly cars that sit without use may have components deteriorate due to lack of use. Rubber over time deteriorates - not only tires but seals along door frames and even in the engine. Hence that low mileage car may need replacement tires and door rubber seal and tubing replacements. Figure these in as part of your overall costs and charges for that premium low mileage car.

Lastly if the car is left out in the sun - as in the Californian little old lady example take time to examine the automobiles' body finish for tarnish. The paint may seem fine that is until you conduct a thorough cleaning and polish. Happy driving.

Writer's Block - 5 Breakthrough Ideas

Congratulations! You have begun your viral marketing campaign by writing and submitting articles that have been spread throughout the world through ezines, blogs, and other online publications as others picked up your articles and posted them on their own pages. Two or three times a week you sat down to write and hardly knew how much time had passed from the moment you began writing until you finished. The time went quickly and you remembered how much you enjoyed writing. The ideas flowed and there seemed to be no end to the number of thoughts you could put in print.

You watched your stats for each article, did a Google search for your own name and articles, and were excited by the results you found. Even your "expert" status gave you a high and made you feel good about this new venture you were on. And each day the adventure continued.

Then suddenly one day you sat down to write and nothing came to your mind or you started writing but your thoughts were disjointed and jumbled. The ticking of the clock was there to remind you that hours had passed and the piece of paper or the computer screen before you was half empty. In an effort to complete the article, panic set in and then there were no words, no ideas, no third point to support the main theme (and everyone knows you have to have at least three points to support your theme, don't they?).

If writer's block has stopped your article writing campaign in its tracks, choose one or more of these five ideas to break through the block and get your viral marketing efforts back on track.

Move away from the computer

If you have been sitting at your computer, staring at a blank screen, pulling your hair out to get a new idea to write about, get up and move a little. The mere movement away from your computer to get some blood flowing will help to jumpstart your creative juices. If you haven't come up with an idea to write about just by staring at the screen, continued staring will not change anything for you, except to give you a headache.

Read today's headlines or your favorite blog

By reading today's headlines or your favorite blog, your mind will reconnect with words and ideas again. It might take just one sentence or one article for your mind to come up with a new idea, but if you don't come up with a new idea after the first headline or the first blog, try, try again. If still nothing comes to your mind, at least you have kept up with the news and seeds have been planted in your brain that might surface hours or days later.

Read through your previous articles

Read through some of your own articles to find an article that was written from a broad angle and pick it apart to come up with more articles on narrower topics.

In a typical article, as you were taught in school, you probably made three points that supported your main point. You can write an article on one of these three points and support it with three more points that can be used in later articles, then these three points can be used in three more articles and so on. See where I'm going? Until you get down to the article that tells about the "molecular structure" of whatever your topic is, you can write articles for days based on solely on one of your previous articles.

Make a list of words

Start with just a list of words associated with your business or area of interest that could become the topic of your article. If your business is about decorating on a budget, list the rooms in your house or the techniques, such as paint, wallpaper, stenciling, etc., that can be used to spruce up your walls. Start with just words then move up to phrases as those come to mind.

From this list you can choose one of the words or topics and write an article about that, or you can choose one area, such as walls, and write a series of articles on the different ways to change the look of a room just by changing the walls.

Write a post for your blog

When you have an idea to work with, write a post for your blog. Most blogs are written in a less formal, conversational tone than that used for articles for publication; often you feel as though you are writing to a friend rather than to an audience. Choose a topic or word from the headlines, a previous article, or your list of words and phrases start and writing a short post to your blog.

After writing this less formal, probably smaller, article for your blog, use the main ideas therein to turn it into an article for submission. You can then direct your blog readers to the full article and ask them to rate the article, which will in turn boost your author status, which will likely boost your morale and thus your creativity.

As in Newton's 1st Law of Motion: a body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. If the ideas you need to get your writing campaign back on track have come to a sudden stop, use one of these outside forces to get in motion again: move away from the computer, read today's headlines or your favorite blog, read through your previous articles, make a list of words and phrases, or write a post for your blog. You will find the words flowing from your fingertips in no time.

Replace an engine? Short block or long block?

I have a '98 6 cyl Camaro with standard transmission, about 80K miles; recently had a "tap" and was told there was a cracked lifter so replaced 1 lifter and 12 push rods. ($1300) Had it out of shop about 2 1/2 wks and it shut down on me while driving; a look under the hood revealed bolt on water pump was backed out about 1 1/2" and it had apparently run hot; dash gauge never indicated it was hot. It cranked up again when cooled off, but now there is a knock. Towed back to same repair shop and now they say I need an engine. ($4300 estimate for labor and all). I have checked with a couple other shops in the area and they tell me about $2300 for entire job for re-manuf. Short block or long block better in this case? Funds are tight, but need a ride and this is a beautiful car interior and body. Advice anyone? Oh yeah, bought the car used last Nov. supposedly one owner, a middle aged woman (yeah, right) and I HAVE NOT dogged it out.

Easy, long block. You'll have new heads/valve train, and you won't be paying the labor to swap the heads.
