"  Q: How do I remove the valve cover on the driver side of my 1996 Chevy pickup truck 5.7 engine? A: From the shop manual:  1. Disconnect the battery negative cable assembly from the battery negative terminal. 2. Remove the spark plug wires. 3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the clips, and move aside. 4. Remove the following components for access to the right valve rocker arm cover:  o The crankcase vent hose. o The oil level indicator tube bracket. o The air cleaner intake duct. Refer to Powertrain Management.   5. Remove the following components for access to the left valve rocker arm cover:  1. The air conditioning compressor and lay aside. Refer to Heating and Air Conditioning. 2. The EGR valve inlet pipe. 3. The PCV and the hose. 4. The power brake vacuum pipe and move aside.  6. Remove the valve rocker arm cover bolts. 7. Remove the valve rocker arm cover and the gasket. 8. Clean all traces of old gasket from the valve rocker arm cover and the cylinder head. 9. Inspect the valve rocker arm cover sealing surface for distortion. Replace the valve rocker arm cover if necessary.  Q: Many years ago you discussed a transmission that was belt driven. It was going to replace all existing transmissions because it was simple with many less moving parts. What ever happened to that transmission? I owned a Riva cycle and it had this transmission. A: You&amp;#039;re probably talking about the belt-driven constant-velocity transmission (CVT) that was used by DAF in Europe. It&amp;#039;s in use on virtually all snowmobiles, and a couple of car manufacturers (Audi, Nissan, Honda, Mini to rattle a few off) build CVTs that use metal belts. Q: Can battery sulphation be completely removed? A: No. But there re some battery chargers on the market that claim to be able to remove it, by adding a high-frequency waveform to the DC current while the battery is charging. The claim is that the high freq reduces the size of the sulphate crystals and will remove them. Hey, I was skeptical too. But I&amp;#039;ve doubled the life of the batteries on my bikes, which spend a lot of time on chargers.  Q: I have a 1997 Dodge Dakota. The dash/cluster light is out. I have checked the fuses and are all ok. How many lamps are behind the cluster? Is it a big task to replace them?  A: According to my shop manual, there&amp;#039;s only one bulb. The replacement must be pretty straightforward, because there&amp;#039;s no procedure for it, and it&amp;#039;s only supposed to take 20 minutes.  Q: I recently bought a 2006 Nissan Maxima. The ride is rough, so I&amp;#039;d like to replace the tires. I have low-profile 18-in. tires. What type of tires should I buy for a softer ride? A: Buy new rims, ones smaller in diameter. I&amp;#039;d look for salvage rims. Buy new tires to fit the rims, but with a higher profile and the same rolling radius. Mount the tires on the rims, and the rims on the car. Or maybe you can trade with someone who wants low-profile tires. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
