~when using your EVTM, keep an 8 1/2 x 11 clear plastic sheet in the book and use a grease pencil or dry erase marker to trace out your circuits.

When disconnecting the spring-coupler connectors on my fuel lines, I put several drops of light machine oil in each one to help loosen up the fittings so they slide apart much easier. After they're separated, I spray them with PB blaster or the like to clean the excess oil off and to help "blow off" whatever residue remains. I also do this again when I reconnect them. Last few times I've disconnected my fuel lines, they've came apart very easily. Anyone who has ever taken them apart for the first time knows what a bitch they can be..

If a motor has been sitting for a long period of time and has become locked up. Remove the spark plugs and put trans fluid in each cylinder (like a quart total devided between the 8) let it sit for a day or so and then try and turn the motor over. I have personally done this on several motors it is a  shoot but I did have a couple that were locked and did this to them and ran them one for 2 years.
