Former factory man David Van Buren told Motales about how they tested and fixed aluminum engine blocks to prevent oil and antifreeze leaks. He also pointed out why so many engines continued to have freeze plugs, and shared other factory stories, in a new Motales feature.
Motales is a companion site to Stellpower, with less frequent updates, filling in the history of Chrysler to match today’s news.

David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest, most comprehensive Mopar site in 1994 as he pursued a career in organizational research and change. After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
