Fingers crossed that two Audi pistons with the same bore and compression ratio but different motors have the same ring lands.

Knowing VW of that era I wouldn't even bother crossing your fingers. I know with the VW four pot engine you could slap in any piston you drat well pleased so long as it cleared the valves on the interference engines.

The pistons won't swap, because the 20v requires valve depressions in the pistons that the 10v does not have. Also: 20v has piston squirters. Otherwise: Blocks swap, rods swap, etc. I'm hoping the usual VW recycle-the-design holds true for the ringlands.

Hey CommieGIR, you're a guy who's a VAG-addict, can you tell me whether it's possible to remove the pistons with the block in the car? I have to re-ring the pistons in my 2002 Golf 2.0L (engine code AVH) and don't have an engine lift or a stand. I have replacement gaskets and head bolts so I'm ready for that inevitability.

Transverse? Yes. You can drop the pan in the car and just pull the connecting rod caps and push them out the top. If your motor has that god forsaken motor mount that mounts to the head on the passenger side, just throw a jack stand under the block somewhere. You can do it in the inline 5 Audis too, but you have to drop the subframe which crosses under the back of the oil pan. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jan 30, 2017 |

Provided the height from the gudgeon pin to the top face is the same, and the gudgeon pin itself is the same diameter, why does it matter if they use different rings? the rings he needed were NLA so he ordered some for a different engine. heres to hoping the ID/OD/Thickness/ring gap is usable.

Worried about ringlands gap sizing. It shouldn't be different, but I'm not sure. Too little gap and the ring won't fit. Too much gap and it will stress the ring. Ordered rings for an NG 10v 5 Cylinder Audi: same bore and compression as the engine I'm rebuilding. Same family even. The nice part of this gamble is: I do own an NG motor, so the rings won't go to waste if they don't work on the 20v CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Jan 30, 2017 |

Apologies for mega-post (again). Catching up from the weekendcakesmith handyman posted:Congratulations! I felt great clearing mine the other year. No poo poo. I muddled about in the garage and shed, cleaning up and rearranging some stuff, and doing some minor tasks that have built up, and I ache all over. Didn't even lift any heavy stuff (that was the previous weekend). Tomarse posted:Just received a final refund payment from HMRC and finally closed off my student loan account after 18 years. gently caress you student loans. I've got less than $4K left. Another 18 months or so. It's only been 20 years... NitroSpazzz posted:I'm enjoying Dishonored 2 but for some reason it isn't drawing me in as much as the original did on my first or even second play through. Just finished the clockwork soldier guys mansion level and still no kills, bodies found or being detected. Kind of tempted to start a full chaos run for a change of pace and see if I enjoy it more. Yeah, I think I'll do a full-on Chaos murdering everybody as Emily on the next run through, just for the assassination-related achievements, if nothing else. Apparently, I'm way too impatient to not get detected. In my defense, all the deaths I've had were accidental (whoops, too close the edge!) or lightning wall (which I didn't know counted). Enourmo posted:Man actually no-poo poo moving to canada/aus/uk sounds reeeeal drat tempting at the moment. Too bad I'm stuck in Orlando for at least the next 16 months or so while I finish my degree. After that, though... mech. engineers are pretty mobile, right? My step-mother-in-law is looking at trying to claim dual Irish citizenship, since her grandad emigrated from there. Oz needs to stop trying to be America, then I'll think about moving there (not that they'd have me - my job can be done by any of 13 million Indians.) And the UK, well, I think Brexit pretty much sums it up. Canada is frozen, not sure about (aboot?) the politics. NZ is an option, but same issue with jorb. keykey posted:I was at school all day yesterday and quite appropriately in one of my classes, the topic for creating an effective argument was how to persuade people on either side. The gist was that if your audience has an extreme view on either side, trying to persuade them is a lost cause. Conversely, if your opinion differs from either of those views, you're seen as being the other. This was a super appropriate topic as my wife is a social worker and also has worked with refugees in the past. In any case, we were laying in bed and she opens Facebook and her and her uncle had a heated facebook argument which I think is probably the lamest thing ever, but whatever. Anyway, she asked me what I thought and I honestly don't know enough about the refugee thing and I just said I don't even have an opinion. Instantly I was branded as being for the ban. Sometimes art imitates life. God, I hate that whole "if you're not with us, you're against us" bullshit. Oh, yeah, tell that to Switzerland, or any other neutral entity. Now, in this case, the ban is terrible, but if you don't know all the facts, then, yeah, I'd prefer to know what I'm making a decision on first. Until then - neutral. spog posted:I'm almost more offended that this action was done so incompetently, rather than the horrible, bigoted nature of it. So much this. You expect it to be much more subtle, or disguised as something else, not a blatant, childish temper tantrum. keykey posted:Mods = none. No Mods or Kings, Only Man. That reminds me. I actually saw a first-gen Hyundai Excel 3-door on the road on Friday. In good shape, lowered and sporting aftermarket alloys, even. I'm almost surprised that there are any still functioning.

Screw political bullshit, I'm currently steeping some raisins in cheap vodka ($9, of which $6 is taxes  ) and in a couple of days I'll add a few cinnamon sticks and let it steep for a few more days. It'll probably get a tablespoon of honey as well.I can hardly wait to taste it

I've now eaten at Habit, Five Guys, and In'N'Out. I rank them in that order, with Five Guys winning by a hair on burgers but losing to Habit due to fries (Peanut oil? Who uses peanut oil to cook fries? Gave my girlfriend's kid an allergic reaction, thankfully its more a stomach ache than anaphylactic shock). Both are miles ahead of In'N'Out.

It probably wasn't the peanut oil, since the allergy-causing bits are taken out during the refining process. It may just have been the delicious grease bomb that is Five Guys burgers that caused the stomachache.

Peanut oil is a great choice for frying. It has a high smoke point and tastes better. Nobody uses it because it's twice what vegetable oil costs. 5 guys has free peanuts and shells all over. It's not a place for someone with nut allergies period.
