  Bleeding is much easier with a vacume pump. Two other advantages of the vacume pump are you don't need another person, and the old fashioned way causes many master cylinders to fail. When the brake pedal goes to the floor, the rod is pushed much further than it usually goes, so if there is any corrosion on the shaft, it tears up the seals. This is the Honda recommended sequence.

  Hello, I have been shopping for four 195/60-15 stock-sized tires for my 1992 Accord wagon for a month and can't find the right ones to buy. I was looking originally at Michelin Hydroedge tires but then learned that they are not H-rated, which is required for the wagons. I also looked at Yokohama Avid TRZs but rejected them for the same reasons. I am looking for tires that provide excellent traction, ... Read More

I do hope they are consistent in adding enough MOLY. at time of manufacturing to give the engine the protection it will need for 200k miles but I have serious doubts that it will last beyond 50K miles if that ...
