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.
Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Replacement. If you blow a head gasket in your car engine, you should be prepared to pay some very costly repair bills. Prices will vary, but be ready to shell out between $1000 and $2000 to replace blown head gaskets with remanufactured heads. New ones will cost you a lot more. When your car loses oil pressure, all sorts of bad things can happen. Average prices for replacing an oil pump are between $350 and $600.
