Q:I need a valve cover gasket replacement because mine is leaking a tremendous amount of oil. The mechanic says it will cost about $269.00 plus tax. I wanted to make sure this figure was the average since I do not know a lot about cars. My car is a Mitsubishi Diamante 2001.

The gasket set is probably $ 20, so double that to $ 40..... 270 - 40 is 230, divided by 2 man-hours, which is the usually dealership minimum, gives $ 115 an hour. I DON'T THINK SO !!!! Unless you live in Hawaii where everything is expensive, that sounds steep.... real steep. Dealers around here get like $ 85 an hour, so two hours is 170, plus 40 is 210 bucks; Still killer money for the dealer..... I'd question that estimate ask if there is some extraordinary challenge to working on your car. It is possible there are accessories mounted over the valve cover that will have to be moved, or that's it's a canted V-6 with one valve cover tucked up against the fire wall. Be nice, smile, ask questions.... Maybe even have someone show you what has to be moved on your engine to get at the valve cover(s). If you're going to pay that much $$$, you should learn something, also.

Q:The difference between butterfly valve d71x_10s and d341s-10

Before distinguishing between the two, you must first read the identification of the valve type:D stands for butterfly valves,3 means that the worm gear is connected and the drive does not indicate the handle7 and 4 indicate pipe to clamp connection, pipe flange connection, respectively1 means single eccentric, that is, the stem is not in the center of the butterfly plateThe former S indicates the material name of the valve body - plastic, X means sealing and the lining material is rubberThe latter S indicates the sealing lining material code ---- plastic, and the valve body is cast iron.10 means stress.

Q:I want to switch off the water in the bathroom only due to replacing sink taps, will water still come out of the pipe if i turn the stop valve

Only water what is still in the pipes will come out but you will lose all your hot water in the hot water cistern if you have that type of hot water storage tank.

Q:What's the difference between a butterfly valve and an eccentric butterfly valve? What is the difference in field applications?

Eccentric butterfly valve and ordinary butterfly valve, when the butterfly valve is opened, the eccentric butterfly valve sealing surface will reduce great wear, in the opening, the disc will leave the valve at the first time the sealing surface!

Q:What's the difference between an electric two position control valve and an electric butterfly valve?

With manual control device, once the power failure occurs, you can temporarily manually operated, and will not affect the use.The biggest difference is that the electric double bit butterfly valve can not fine adjustment; and the electric butterfly valve can play a regulating role.

Q:What are single eccentric and double eccentric in butterfly valves? What's the difference, please explain in detail?

Double eccentric butterfly valve: in the single eccentric butterfly valve on the basis of further improvement of forming, is the most widely used double eccentric butterfly valve. The structure features that the center of the stem deviates from the center of the disc as well as the center of the body. The effect of the double eccentric valve can be opened immediately after the disc from the valve seat, substantially eliminating the unnecessary disc and valve seat over squeezing, scratching phenomenon, reduce the resistance from the open, reducing the wear and improve seat life.

Q:Where are the exhaust valves, mud valves and butterfly valves?

The exhaust valve is suitable for the pipeline with working medium, so as to improve the efficiency of the water conveyance equipment and protect the pipe from deformation and rupture. Sludge discharge valves are suitable for use in floating waste water treatment plants, such as gypsum. Slag, scale power stations, smelters, sugar mills.

Q:How to use the fire butterfly valve properly?

Clamp and groove type and signal butterfly valve, the first two have what requirements of installation, the operating handle can rotate to open and close the valve installation, signal wiring, mouth down, to prevent water and caused a short circuit three line grounding and alarm line for leakage protection and monitoring of the valve open or closed, general are in line with the alarm valve or flow indicator matched with water, indicating the spacing of not less than 300mm, no other special requirements

Q:For whatever reason, Mazda has made it next to impossible to change the PCV valve on the 929. I'm going to have to pull off the plenum and the passenger's side valve cover to replace a $2.00 PCV valve. Before I get too involved, I need to know the torque specs for the valve cover. Also, any other tips on this process would be greatly appreciated. Can I reuse the old valve cover gasket if it's still in good shape? Should I use any kind of sealant in addition to the gasket when I put it all back together? Thanks in advance, by looking at this motor, I can tell I'll have my work cut out for me (for a friggin $2.00 PCV valve, it's usually SO simple!). Like I said, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
