Camry Idle Air Control Valve Cleaning


This is my Father’s 1999 Toyota Camry with the 3.0 liter V6 (1MZ-FE) engine. About every three years, the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve always gets clogged up causing the car to keep stalling when cold started unless the accelerator was depressed while the engine warms up.

It’s expensive to replace (someone quoted my dad $300) but I read that a shot of carburetor cleaner down the hole usually takes care of the problem.

Homemade Ball Valve Airgun


I’ve reverted temporarily to my old ways and built a ball valve airgun. I still need to put sights on it and plan to change it over to a .40 caliber barrel so I can use 3/8″ steel or lead ammo. Hope you like it!

Chevy 305 no valve covers, burning oil


After 10 minutes of idling the exhaust will start making blue smoke and it looks kinda like “Uncle Buck” lol. It VERY rarely smokes when i drive but only when i take off. So i finally took off the valve covers to see whats up. I found some chunks of what i concluded to broken up valve stem seals or some kind of seal for that matter. I also found a few hair thin metal strands of metal shavings, not sure where these came from. And i also found that the lip around where the valve spring is seated seemed to be sort of chewed up in a way on all the valve springs, i’m not sure if this is just an imperfection in the head or what..I found the smoke to be coming out of the 4 holes that are found in between each set of exhaust and intake rockers. Any help is appreciated on why this thing smokes (you can see this in one of my other videos).

Marshall Haze 40 watt valve combo demo - Nevada Music UK

http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitar_Amplifiers_&_Speakers/Guitar_Amps_Combos_&_Cabinets/Guitar_Combos/p8002.aspx The New range of valve amps from Marshall featuring the 40 watt HAZE combo with digital Fx and clever channel switching options. Chris George from Marshall takes us through what will surely be another classic must have combo.

Another one to add to the gear wish list…………

The Marshall MHZ-40C is a 40W, all valve combo fitted with a 1×12 Celestion Marquee speaker. Developed and engineered in the UK, this two channel amplifier features three ECC83 pre-amp Valves and two 6V6 power tubes, producing classic vintage Marshall tones from a compact combo.

A first for a Marshall valve amp, the Haze MHZ40 features onboard digital effects, providing a choice of either classic echo, vibe or chorus with settings being saved to each channel for instant recall. Alongside the effects is a reverb, adding depth and warmth. Both the reverb and effects are routed in parallel to the direct signal so that no degradation of the direct signal occurs. It is also possible to bypass the effects loop on the MHZ-40C so that the effect section is true bypassed, mechanically removing the circuit from the amplifier…subsequently leaving the Marshall Haze with an all-valve signal path.

Finished in high grade vinyl with protective corners, the cabinet is constructed to Marshall’s usual high standards. The vintage style baffle is covered in a hand stretched, acoustically transparent fret cloth and finished with white piping to ensure your amp looks fantastic. Included with the Haze combo is a 2 way footswitch (the optional stompware pedal is also compatible) making thie MHZ-40C an easily portable, versatile and great sounding all valve Marshall amplifier!
