To bad. Aren't Mercedes strait 6 motors strait up and down and not tilted?

It would be good resto mod engine. Think the old base level sedans and coupes that came with strait 6s from the factory. That would be a kick rear end engine to replace it with.

20* or so tilt to the passenger side.

The M120 keeps the same tilt on the passenger bank even.

Points, you get from 1-3 points depending on the violation. a point sticks to you license for 3 years and if you get 8 your license get suspended for 6 months. But for smaller violations you dont get points.

Ah, that sucks.

We can get 12 points, then you lose your licence, but i don't think you can get less than 3 points for any single violation. (Not sure which idiot worked that one out.)

I have 3 points for speeding, for doing 110mph in a 40, but they clocked me under (very heavy) braking @ 64mph i think. If i had been clocked at 66 i would've got referred to court and likely got 6 points. :stare:

Assuming a non-inverter genset you need to go by voltage/freq. Yeah, a tach is useful to get close, but fine tuning is all about what happens in the final output. You know enough to do the rough tach tuning by ear so just make sure you have something to measure at least AC voltage which should be sufficient if the generator side isn't beat to hell. Tune the speed based on that.

And don't forget to do it under a bunch of load. Because a lot of small generators will sag horribly compared to no load/lightly loaded.

I recently got sick of Windows 7 and decided to go risky and install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on my laptop.

Welcome to my world. Fucks sake, some of the sketchy couches out there. I don't have that much heft, 200-210lb range and the $900 couch is creaking? No thanks. The sales clerk has blue hair and a mini-skirt? Ah... okay.

And gently caress Ashley home furniture in the rear end with their high-pressure sales tactics, it felt like I had stumbled into a buy-here-pay-here car lot.
