Technically the ratio is now infinitely variable so you could argue it's a form of CVT.

All of these transmission posts remind me that I'm about 1500 miles past my transmission fluid change interval in my miata.

Speaking of transmissions and final drives, this is what happens when you use an under-specced chain for your motorcycle, and neglect to maintain it: Just looking at it makes me clench involuntarily.

According to his own statement, it was a cheap chain with too low tensile strength, and he ran it for far too long.

I had a rear sprocket taco on my Duke II at 70 mph thanks to some amazing PO maintenance work and the chain ended up wrapped around itself. Swingarm had to come out and it still apparently needed cutting. Luckily the gearbox popped into neutral when the front sprocket locked up and the rear axle wasn't fouled (the and of the swingarm did have a very bent Renthal around it!), so I just had to pay for a new chain, labour and apply a gently caress-ton of Autosol.

 I guess this poor rim wasn't up to having my fat arse coming crashing down on top of it.  Secondary failure pictured: awfully fitted garage door that lets leaves blow in under it.

Dumb question: How do you do a compression/blowby test on a diesel engine, if it doesn't have spark plug holes to stick the tester in? Are glow plugs in an analogous position?

Seat Safety Switch posted:Dumb question: How do you do a compression/blowby test on a diesel engine, if it doesn't have spark plug holes to stick the tester in? Yup. You usually cannot do it with the injector holes on most diesels as they are usually held in by proprietary clamps that, unless you have a specific adapter for that engine make, won't hold properly.

Yea, I have a diesel compression tester and it has a bunch of adapters that fit in the glow plug holes.

Do you have to shut the injector off too? Otherwise, wouldn't your compression test results be marred by the diesel autoigniting?

Luckily not, nothing more than a few scuffs and some dented pride. The rims came off worse than I did but luckily the frame is still straight:

Isn't running diesels out of gas a generally bad thing? I think my dad told me that a long time ago, but have never really substantiated it.

It can be a pain in the arse to bleed/re-prime some of them, but it shouldn't do serious damage to anything.

InitialDave posted:It can be a pain in the arse to bleed/re-prime some of them, but it shouldn't do serious damage to anything. It's not great for the high-pressure pump on CRDI systems. Every CRDI vehicle I've seen that has an in-tank electric feed pump is capable of being started after a drained system just by repeated cranking attempts (like a petrol engine), but it's frowned upon and you're supposed to use a scan tool to make the engine ecu do a low pressure system air purge. Also don't do this on GDI systems for the same reason.

I had them tensioned when I first got them, it took me lowsiding the bike into a kerb to do that to it. New rims are double walled anyway.

I'm 240 and I've gone headlong into a curb without major wheel damage. Spoke tension is something that needs to be done pretty regularly (well, more regularly than almost everyone does it). It's even more critical on a dished rear wheel.

Good point about it being true for GDI systems as well. That didn't even occur to me, but of course it's perfectly logical. thylacine posted:Double walled rims and more important: properly tensioned spokes means a 500 lb man can ride on that poo poo with no problem.
