- Use Neversieze on ANY fastener threaded into aluminum. This saves a world of trouble later on.

- Use silicone (dielectric) grease at any underhood electrical connection to keep the moisture out.

- Polish underhood ground connections when they look suspect.

- Always install seals and o-rings wet with parent fluid, i.e., brake fluid when installing brake seals, a film of grease on grease seals, etc.

- Use ONE drop of oil on each wheel stud before installing wheel back on car. Use torque wrench on bolts.

- Take pictures or make drawings before undertaking complicated repairs. Bag and label fasteners, parts. Never rely on memory.
