On cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, increasing the refresh rate decreases flickering, thereby reducing eye strain. However, if a refresh rate is specified that is beyond what is recommended for the display, damage to the display can occur.
The loss of a cylinder...what does that mean. I believe my number 1 cylinder is either dead or at this point it's compression level is near 0. So with the car being a 98 Ford Taurus 6 cylinder/3.0 ohv engine, outside of just bad engine performance what else can i be looking at as the engine slowly dies. If it has near ZERO compression and you intend to continue driving until the bitter end you might disconnect the injector on that cylinder.
thought i would give you guys some info on cylinder head removal and head gasket replacement also i will include tourque specs for the whole upper end of the engine. I also have another thread on here about timing belt replacement just like this one which i recommend replacing when doing your head gaskets. I bought Acura head gasket kit on eBay and it included all kind of gaskets: valve seals, gaskets, o-rings for water passages, camshaft seals, etc.. $45 + S/H. - I did not have to remove the engine off the car. For upper: I removed the engine heads.
