Comment on How to Clean Granite Countertops by Professional Clean https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/clean-granite-countertops/#comment-841846 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 05:56:05 +0000 https://www.goldeagle.com/?p=113113#comment-841846 A kitchen with clean counters will serve you well in many ways. Not only does it look sharp and organized, but empty counters also give you the most cooking space. I agree that vinegar may clean the counter but long run it will damage the smoothness of the surface and make it even more susceptible to staining. Thank you so much for sharing these useful tips to clean granite counter tops.

Comment on Top Five STA-BIL Product Myths Debunked by nk https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/top-five-sta-bil-product-myths-debunked/#comment-841792 Thu, 12 Aug 2021 21:05:53 +0000 https://www.goldeagle.com/post/top-five-sta-bil-product-myths-debunked/#comment-841792 QUESTION: does the octane number INCREASE in stored gasoline?
The more volatile fractions (ie butane) in gasoline will evaporate faster than the heavier ones; so would this mean an 87 regular gasoline would eventually become a 93 premium gasoline after several months/year?

Ever since I used stabil360 in my wifes 2005 chrysler crossfire the car emits a strange exhaust smell that I can only describe as melting plastic. The car never did this before. Any thoughts or have you had others describe this? Thank you

Comment on Top Ten American V8 Engines Of All Time by Kirk Williams https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/top-ten-american-v8-engines-of-all-time/#comment-840914 Wed, 04 Aug 2021 10:27:14 +0000 https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/top-ten-american-v8-engines-of-all-time/#comment-840914 hello, there’s no such thing as a 1961-80 BOP engine.
what you are describing is the small block Buick V8
there were 2.
the aluminum 215, then the 300-340-350
they are 2 difference families of engines.
they were good engines, but nothing compared to an Olds Rocket 1964-up
or even a Cadillac early/late V8 for that matter.
but at least get the vernacular right…it’s not a BOP engine
it’s a small block Buick
