Some poo poo I've done... The head gasket for cylinder #6 of the LDS-465 motor in my M54A2: The only thing more deafening than an unmuffled military turbo multifuel is one with a 2" head gasket leak blasting full compression right at the cab from the back of the motor. Dear god, that hurt through my earplugs. It still drove great though, only lost a little power running on 5 cylinders! Here is the gasket, removed from the engine (I kept it as a trophy): The control arm brackets on the dana 30 in my 96 XJ were unamused by the 4 foot endo I did going up a rock ledge last summer: The rear U-joint on the rear driveshaft appears to have needed some grease... but now it's heat treated! (replaced 5 minutes after picture was taken) I drove over the steel pipe marking the property line helping my neighbor pull a couple trees out with the M54A2: The passenger side motor mount broke off the engine block in my 91 MJ during a severe episode of death-wobble. It literally ripped the bosses off the side of the block and snapped a few bolts. I jacked the motor up, tied a sling made of 50 feet of cheap rope underneath it, drove it 20 miles home, then the next morning drove it 20 miles to and from a friend's house to buy the replacement motor. And the best, most worthy one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3FHhcWvCe4 The AW-4 is a beastly, hard to kill transmission, but not when really beat on. That one blew up and left me stranded 300 miles from home on I81. It made some really nifty noises (in neutral and park, too!) and the torque converter was pumping out so much heat when it died that it melted the crankshaft position sensor so badly it died. I had to put my spare in to winch myself onto a friend's trailer when he showed up to rescue me. e: went back looking for the pic of the punctured tire and realized all the images were broken. Moved them to imgur. kastein fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Apr 27, 2016 |

For a while I had 5... 96 XJ (piece of poo poo, terminal rust cancer patient, beat the hell out of it till it died then scrapped it) 91 MJ (piece of poo poo but I like it, has never stranded me) 98 XJ (piece of poo poo, but no rust, bought it because it was real cheap as a backup vehicle) 88 MJ (no rust, bought it to replace the 91 eventually) 58 M54A2 (bought it because it was cheaper than just a trailer, nevermind a tow rig... and the other jeeps fit in the back, and hell, it's just plain badass) right now I have 4. 2 haven't moved in months and there are 3 parts jeeps in my yard that I let my friends park here I term the collection my Redundant Array of Inexpensive Vehicles... $7200 on all 5 before repairs and upgrades. Probably still under 15k including all repairs and upgrades.

I was at a drift event this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina (United States) and a dude pretty new Infiniti G35(?) that he took the front bumper and body work off and had a giant, expensive-looking intercooler and all the plumbing under the rad where the bumper used to be attached merely by means of ratchet straps. It was pretty sweet.

I mean, I still prefer discs 99% of the time, but don't run away and cower in fear when a drum brake shows it's face. the number of goofy rear end linkages, adjusters, and springs that require 5 arms and 3 special tools to assemble just pisses me off. The idea is simple, yes, but the execution lacks, especially on something like a Jeep XJ rearend and even worse, the drum-in-hat Ford 8.8" e-brake setup. I want to find whoever decided to put 2 return springs on (one behind the stiffener web and one in front) that setup and kick their rear end. If you want something simple, look at a disc brake... a caliper with a piston pushes two pads together against the sides of a rotating disc. Doesn't get packed with mud or dirt, no adjustments, the pads are flat, and you can put an e-brake on it by milling an ACME thread into the piston and attaching a bellcrank and the e-brake cable (example: some Cadillac rear calipers.)

I'm not opposed to a second mechanical caliper on the rear brake discs, i'm just thinking as cheap and simple as possible. I give no gently caress about another couple pounds of unsprung weight, I drive a live axle. Just... loving drums, man. Yeah, I can take them apart, rebuild everything cheaply and adjust them properly. But gently caress a bunch of that poo poo. I can "rebuild" my front brakes without even dismounting the calipers. Spin piston retraction bolt, remove pad retention pins, slide out old pads, slide in new, set new pins and release retraction bolt.

You have no idea how much joy it brought me to disassemble the drums on my axle with nothing but a 3lb hand sledge and an angle grinder when I was putting the discs on. I own 4 vehicles with 9 live axles and no IFS/IRS... sadly the one with 3 axles has 6 sets of drum brakes I can't even lift

This one's even better, it's a turbo multifuel, 22:1 CR, and will happily run on anything from home heating oil to gasoline as long as you mix it together such that it'll lube the injection pump properly without plugging it. It's a honey badger motor, it doesn't give a gently caress, it'll burn it.

Bondematt posted:They run very happily on engine oil pouring through the turbo. yeah... better cover the intake pretty fast. the old military ones will also run backwards if you drive into something very solid (say, a 10 inch tree, or a phone pole), stall it out, and bounce backwards hard enough to turn it over before you manage to get the clutch down. Ever have the motor restart and clutch in, shift into 1st, let the clutch out only to panic realizing YOU ARE STILL GOING BACKWARDS? That's when you notice the smoke coming out the intake and realize your oil pressure is at zero because the pump is running backwards. scary poo poo, but it only takes once to recognize it. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/55796-ldt-465-ran-backwards.html

I blew one of those up... ... and so did a friend of mine (the post on the screen) - even lost the same number of bearings. That one made it 20 miles to my storage unit doing 80mph (I found the bearings would space out around the spindle and keep it from making such horrible noises if I did 80, so I went with it) so I could pull the spare off my spare motor and drive it home, at 11PM, when all the parts stores were closed.
