Are classic Monte Carlos any good?
On my local Craigslist I see early 70s monte carlos in decent looking shape for pretty cheap. I have another car and truck, but I wanted to get something classic just to enjoy and drive semi-regularly.
Are they worth considering? A lot of other American cars from the era are expensive as fuck. Any options/trims I should keep an eye out for?

I learned a very important and painful lesson today - never reuse head bolts. I changed the head gasket on a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 and reused the head bolt because it had a blown piston and I had to take the head off to replace it. Since it didn't overheat I figured reusing the head bolt would work fine.
Now there's coolant in the oil and I just wasted $20 worth of oil, along with a $30 head gasket, plus an entire day of pain and suffering once more to change it out in 110°F weather. :(

Hah! Or you just didn't torque them down in the correct order.
>>
>>15566982
are you sure they didn't just get mixed in the disassembly process? I would expect a little to flow around when you removed the head.

Nope, I checked it multiple times and even did the head gasket change while the engine was pulled out so that it'd be easier to do. Compression was also checked before I ran the engine and it was good as well so I still can't figure out exactly what caused the head gasket to fail when I ran it. My theory so far is that somehow the bolts failed to hold the torque properly as the engine heated up.

hey /o/, i've got a 2005 opel tigra twin top, lately a problem has crept up:
rarely, and i cant reproduce this, the idle rpm climbs say from the normal 700 to 900-1000, then back to 700, then back to 1000, then its stops. Maybe once a day or every other day.
Anyone's got a clue what it might be?

Are you running the AC excessively?
On my old Ranger that would cause the AC to climb like that occasionally
>>
>>15566451
not AC, RPM*

What engine?
When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter?
What cars and brands have a nice following/ownership culture?

thinking of turning a pic related into a shitbox
would a 91 dodge dynasty 3 speed auto have potential?

But that car's pretty nice.

>>15566349
It's a landbarge much like the Crown Victoria. The 3 speed automatics aren't known for strength but they're perfectly fine with the stock engines.
Potential for what?
>>15566438
But they are nice. Sure it's a landbarge, but landbarges are nice. Maximum comfy too.
On a related note, what's with all the Dodge Dynasty threads lately? I've seen 5 or 6 this past month and never seen one before.

Been a long day so far, lots of nice cars setting down good times here at Laguna. Cool builds too, from stock to money pit. Self tech inspection is a hell of a thing.
