was unique. It was an aluminum block with no sleeves. The aluminum was high

Here's my $.02 if you want it. Let your car warm up for 5 minutes or so in

So if you bought it from a dude in a parking lot, did you have to fill
out any papework to transfer ownership? Around here, if you buy a gun
at a gun store or whatever, you have to fill out this deal and answer
some questions, they call a phone number and find out if you are
approved or not.
Guess it pays to periodically check the torque on the wheel nuts,
especially with alloy
wheels.
Don't bother. It's obvious that the last knucklehead to install that wheel
left the nuts finger tight.
Alloy wheel bolts or nuts don't loosen as long as they are torqued properly
to begin with.
I think they alway made good trucks. The cars were a different story.
