Preparing Vehicles for a Hurricane As Hurricane Florence is fast approaching prepare your home and securing necessary items is essential, but what about your vehicle? Depending on where you live, tidal flooding from storm surges is a way of life, but when a major storm is predicted to hit your area extra precautions should be take. No body want to deal with a totaled car on top of other strom related damages.
Store them in a safe place where
they can’t get damaged. Replacing many of these documents can be a
tedious and drawn-out affair. If you lose your insurance documents, for
example, this will make the claim process even more difficult.
A building can help to shield
the car from strong winds and debris.
*Make sure to never park your car next to any power lines or below a tree, since branches can easily fall and damage it.
Do this as far ahead of time
as possible. If a severe hurricane strikes an area or is about to,
reaching a gas station can prove to be extremely difficult, not to
mention will also consist of long lines. Plus, supply routes may be cut
off, meaning that fuel might be in scarce supply. Always make sure that
you have as close to a full tank as possible.
Another thing that you can do is to fill up a couple of extra gas cans as well just to be on the safe side.
It’s always a good idea
to be 100% certain that your auto insurance policy provides coverage for
any hurricane damage ahead of the storm.
Make sure that your vehicle operates properly by testing as many things
as you can think of. All lights, power features, and, especially,
start-up need to be in working order should you have to evacuate. It’s
also wise to top off all fluids, such as oil and antifreeze.

Engine bolts–Toss or Re-use?
For the most part, there are three different types of fasteners used when building an engine. Some bolts, screws and studs can be reused and some should ALWAYS be replaced. The question is…what makes the bolts different? When building an engine, finding the specific torque and torque sequence based on the application is the first step in ensure all fasteners are tighten securely.
Torque Only Fasteners
Most time externally threaded bolts, screws and studs can be reused unless otherwise stated by the service manual or manufacturer. A conventional torque wrench should do the trick on these types of bolts.
Torque with and Angle Fastener
Most fasteners that require and torque and angle tightening sequence can be re-used. The fastener is first torqued to a specified amount the and added angle tightening is added to secure the fastener. The angle sequence is an additional step that sometimes requires an additional wrench to prevent the fastener from rotating.
Torque-to-Yield Fasteners
Torque-to-yeild fasteners are vary similar to the previously listed torque with angle fasteners, however they can not be re-used. Once a torque-to-yield fastener is tightened it becomes distorted. If they are ever loosened (even right after installation) they must ALWAYS be replaced.
