Turns out he went to Emergency around 3:30 in the afternoon yesterday, got diagnosed with Appendicitis and admitted by 5, was going under the knife by 6:30 and out of the OR 7:30. Surgery was laparoscopic and was feeling good enough to be discharged by 11 and sleeping in his own bed last night. Came into the office later to fill out some paperwork for short term disability because he shouldn't be working for 2 weeks.

Who knows about bearings? I have one from a benchtop lathe that I need to replace, and the only marking I can see on it is HJ 104. Googling "hj 104 bearing" isn't turning anything up, and I can't find my calipers.

Then just find out what type of bearing it is (needle, spherical, cylinder, etc and sealed or not) and go from there.

Spherical bearing?  That should be what everyone would call 6004 bearing, which is a conrad ball. If you want a sealed bearing throw a -2rs suffix on it. Some lathes have very high precision bearings, but if it's just a table-top hobbiest lathe probably not anything super special especially with something that small.

Got the car! (96 hyundai elantra). Tiny bit of rust on the fender, exhaust needs a weld, badly needs a can of seafoam, and runs out of gas about 1/16" above the E mark. Barely chugged and farted it into the gas station on the way home. A full tank later, the thing was purring happily (if a bit throatily due to the exhaust) and I even managed to wiggle the lighter jack just so so that my phone could charge. I think I'm in love.

Yeah, that probably just a standard ball bearing unless it has a weird feature like an NR snap ring groove or filling slot... or possibly a 7004 thrust bearing which is pretty rare, but not impossible on a lathe. It would almost certainly need to be used in conjunction with another bearing as it would be thrust load carrying in 1 direction only. I am not familiar with the HJ prefix off the top of my head, other than a caged needle bearing which that isn't. A spherical bearing has a different meaning to bearing people even though balls are spheres, so if you go to a local bearing house without the old one as a sample, don't call it a spherical bearing. If you can take a couple good photos of both sides of the bearing I can probably tell you conclusively what it is. Also, unless you have a reason not to, just get a sealed bearing. It might even be cheaper because they're typically more common and it probably wouldn't hurt to keep the seals on it.

So my car has been throwing a code for the catalytic converter for... awhile. I barely managed to get it smogged last year - I reset the ECU, then drove it until all readiness monitors except the cat were showing ready - and the CEL came back on as I was leaving the inspection station. The CEL comes back on within ~30 minutes of clearing codes now, so I can't do that again. Every cat I've been able to find specifically states "automatic only". I finally found the manual version on Rockauto (which seems to be a recent addition). Apparently the manual has two cats instead of one.  The length of the entire assembly is the same, and the secondary O2 sensor is in the same place on both (it would be between the two cats on the manual version).Won't lie, it's very tempting to just order the automatic version. It's a shitload cheaper, and it'll still turn off the CEL. And I need to smog the car in a few months. The secondary O2 sensor is fairly visible from under the hood (since both the cat and sensor are in the downpipe), so fooling the ECU with a spacer may backfire if the inspector actually bothers to look. Plus I'd rather keep a functional cat on it. Damnit. It's expensive to do it the right way.

Will the auto version run into anything? realistically it does the same job either way so if it's not going to hit any thing I'd just do that. Doublecheck the flanges are the same though.

nm posted:I'm pretty sure fit is why they have manual and auto version of cats. Maybe, I know I can buy a manual and auto cat for my fiances car, both fit just fine. The auto is shorter and has more pipe aft of it before it reaches the flange but I've got a manual cat in there at the moment with no problem. Not sure why the difference the manual is a little cheaper and looks like it should flow better (no abrupt transitions between the cat and pipe, nice and gradual with a low angle) that's a bout it as far as I can tell.

fridge corn posted:Does your smog test check tailpipe emissions or just obd monitors? Only monitors if it's OBD2, plus a visual and safety. The visual ranges from "I see an engine under the hood" to "I'm going to crawl around under the car looking for a reason to fail this jackass" - so long as it's stock (or at least appears stock), it's usually a "yup, there's an engine there" unless you run into someone fresh out of inspector training. The car is bone stock, and will remain that way unless the 2.0 s/c version of the engine falls into my lap for dirt cheap, complete with harness and ECU. bend posted:Will the auto version run into anything? realistically it does the same job either way so if it's not going to hit any thing I'd just do that. Doublecheck the flanges are the same though. Going by photos on both Rockauto and Davico's websites, the flanges should be the same. I don't see why they wouldn't be, it's the same engine, and the same cat-back systems fit the car regardless of transmission. Davico seems to be the only third party that manufactures a direct-fit downpipe+cat for the manual version. The exhaust manifold is on the firewall side of the engine; the manifold and downpipe don't go anywhere near the transmission, so it's not a fitment issue. Going by pictures, the only difference seems to be a second, much smaller cat. Auto version:  Manual version:

I'd just put the auto on then if I were you, do you know if anyone else has done it? might be worth a look on an enthusiast forum just to see if you can confirm it fits and works before you pay.

That's the way I'm leaning. I'm almost positive that it'll bolt up just fine, and I know just from pictures of the auto version (and comparing it to mine) that the secondary O2 sensor is in the same place. They really didn't make many of these cars with a manual outside of the Red Line edition (Tusen Takk has the Red Line - same car, but has a supercharged 2.0 with a beefier gearbox vs my n/a 2.2 - ~60 hp difference). The only enthusiast forums are Saturn forums, and this car is largely seen as a Cobalt (which, well, it is... it's basically a Cobalt with plastic body panels and a Saturn logo). I honestly don't understand why the manual version gets an extra cat.

Carryover from an earlier model or design stage maybe?If there was something in the way on the original plans for the auto that got changed later it may have been left.

One of them is good, the other's right hosed. You can just barely make out HJ 104 on the right bearing. The left is its twin (also HJ 104), but I've flipped it face down in case that reveals anything interesting.

I don't understand this at all, after Mazda came out and basically said "we're too high class to sell a Mazdaspeed 3/6." Too highbrow for a relatively straightforward turbo performance hatch or sedan, but somehow a two seater with a temperamental engine that 85% of the car buying public won't run or maintain properly slots into their "we want to be the next Lexus/Infiniti" roadmap.

The CEL comes back on within ~30 minutes of clearing codes now, so I can't do that again. A few years back I replaced the stock down pipe on my cobalt SS/TC with a high flow single cat model. No matter what I did it would throw a CEL. I wound up using my copy of HP tuners to delete the codes from the ECU and never had a problem after that. Not sure if that would help you if they are looking at readiness monitors but it worked for me. This was in VA for reference. It's probably not cheaper unless you know someone with a copy, then it's like $50 for the credits to unlock.
