We regularly get phone calls for help trying to figure out why their lights don't come, or their radio turns off when they turn the lights on. Being electrical this is almost impossible to solve on a phone call. But one thing that most electrical issues have in common is the addition of some new light/radio/power port etc... In these pictures I recently acquired a really nice Samurai and took it for a test. This car had all the above electrical issues mentioned above. Well I ...finally took the opportunity to dig into the issues.. I give you the culprits of my issues...The infamous Alarm system, butt connectors and crimp connectors. Don't use these quick and easy gadgets in your car. Solder is your friend. And if you dont know how then learn, ask a friend who does or pay to get it done right. Also, a copy of the factory service manual with the wiring diagram can really save time.

I remember reading long ago in the days of printed Off Road related magazines that the best way to ruin a hobby/pastime was to start working in that business... 20 years later I find myself wheeling to the grocery store more than to the trails. We are usually too busy working on customer cars than on our own cars and have to catch up on our own projects that going wheeling falls to the back of the list. Well today Carl and I took to the trails for a few hours. One of the best parts of living in SoCal is that there are a lot of places to go within 1hr drive of our shop. 65miles of trails today.

With so many guys installing 1.6 16v motors donors can be hard to come by. With all the high milage cars sourcing rebuild able heads is a challange. Most are cracked or the cam journals are just worn out.. Well we have finally sourced completely new heads ready to install. We have been testing these for the last year and so far have not had any issues.

Yes, we are still here and yes we are still looking for ways to make things better in these COVID lockdown days. We have been making our HP 1.3 clutch setup for over 20 years and cant count the number of requests we have had over the years to take this same proven design and match it to the Sidekick/Tracker 1.6 setup. Well the wait is finally over we finally have a design and a final product. Taking pre-orders now for our first batch to arrive in the next 8-10 days. https://www.petroworks.com/1-6-high-perfomance-clutch-by-p/
