I‘ve got a 99 F150 4.2L V6 with 261,000 miles on the odometer. She‘s still running like a champ, but it pains me to say she has a small leak in a head gasket. Because she‘s most likely running on borrowed time, I don‘t want to put forth a lot of money to get it fixed. So, what type of Bar‘s Leak would you recommend for this specific engine? There‘s several different kinds of this stuff: aluminum, copper, pellet/powder form, etc. So many choices!!Any help is greatly appreciated.
Gravity wants to pull you over and you have to resist. In the video, the kid wasn't prepared for it at all. As soon as his bike leaned over, he hit the brakes and he went with it. When you're learning, you'll keep your feet down a lot In situations like that. Forward momentum is what keeps you balanced. Theres quite a bit of feel involved. Practice doing circles and riding really slow and you'll learn when you can stay on two wheels and when you're going to tip.
When you park a motorcycle on a hill you need to park with the front wheel facing up the slope. If you do not then it will not be possible to safely put the bike on its sidestand and it will not be safe on a centre stand. Thus you should never need to start the bike on a downhill
You usually park your motorcycle in gear. If you pull in the clutch on a hill without applying one of the brakes, the bike will roll, even if it's still on the sidestand. If you have a centerstand, you can put the bike on that and it won't roll while you start it. You can apply one of the brakes while you start the bike. I usually get on the bike, pick up the bike off the sidestand and raise the sidestand, balance the bike with my left foot on the ground, apply the rear brake with my right foot, pull in the clutch and start the bike, in that order.
intake leak is the usual suspect. fix it right the first time
Check the plastic thermostat housing, they are made of plastic and are prone to cracks and leakingI sealed mine for a little while with heavy duty block sealer, the one with sodium silicate
