We have this stuff at work called "never fog" it costs $2 and comes in a little packet, its a cloth that has some sort of anti fog stuff on it and you just rub it all over your window, works really well I hardly ever get fog appearing on my windows anymore.

I hate that No-Fog/Fog-X/Never Fog stuff, because it leaves an oily film on the windscreen that makes it look dirty and hazey in the sunlight... and if you wipe all of the oily stuff off, then you've just wiped off the product and it does sh1t-all!

I find just keeping the inside of the windscreen PERFECTLY clean and spotless is the best option. Then 10 seconds with a blast of hot air demists it quick as a flash! When your windscreen is dirty though, it takes AGES to demist the glass.

That stuff OWNS.

Seriously owns.

OR use the air con.

The cef didnt have air con I just used heat to get rid of it. Hot full blown for 10 seconds would get rid of the coldest fog.

Driving to work at 4:30am guarantee's my windows fogging up so a light wipe over of the AntiFog (made by RainX) and its 98% gone. The only problem with this stuff is if you put it on too thick than it actually works against you.

As gtst1976 said, just run the heater and the aircon at the same time. Set the temp to 20 odd, make sure the air flow is on windscreen, and bingo, demisted windows during the cold wet weather.

The air-con removes the moisture (humidity) from the car on a warm day, and it will also remove the moisture (fog) from the car on a cold day.

I found its a waste of time, as someone else said it leaves a greasy streaky residue, i might as well have sprayed crc on my windows. Got pissed with it to wiped it off the drivers side but its still on the passengers side. My flatmate said it best when she was in the passengers seat, "it looks like i'm driving drunk, but im not" lol..

The rainX window cleaner however works a treat :).

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
