**NOTE: I incorrectly described tire sizes in this video. The first number is actually a measurement of width of the tire tread, not the circumference. I'll also mention this in the next show. Till then, here's a link to an explanation of tire sizes.

In this episode we talked about rebuilding or replacing an engine, clutch problems, loose manual shifters, CRV rear end noise, inoperative washers, head gasket problems, converting HVAC controls, choosing the correct headlights, oil leaks on Honda 2.7L V6, different sized tires on the same axle, electrical problems, transmission problems, worn synchronizers, burning too much fuel, and why car manufacturers use so many computers.

If I didn't get to your question I apologize. Questions posted after the event ends will not be answered. Questions posted to the YouTube video will not be answered. Next show is January 17, 2015 7pm EST though, or visit EricTheCarGuy.com 24/7/365.
