When I worked 3rd shift remodeling a Walmart supercenter in college, we had specially designed wheeled arms that hooked into the center spine of the shelving gondola in basically the same holes as the shelves and then you would crank the wheels down like trailer dollies. You’d end up with 15-20 of these fuckers per side, but goddamn they made moving those super long shelves around pretty easy.

 This is what happens when you let a gas mechanic work on a diesel. Wrong thickness head gasket means pistons/valves kiss and eventually something gives. Despite putting a small hole in the block, the block and crank will be salvageable, just have to have #5 journal deburred and polished.

Is this gas mechanic incapable of reading a spec on a rebuild manual?

MrYenko posted:Is this gas mechanic incapable of reading a spec on a rebuild manual? Its not a spec, you have to measure the piston protrusion from the deck with a dial gauge. The easiest thing to do if you don't have that is to use a 3 hole headgasket, which is the largest of the 3, but this builder went with a 1 hole, the smallest. That's dangerous if you don't know the depth of the piston. For example: The dealerships started rebuilding ONLY with the 3 hole headgasket to even avoid this ever happening.

EightBit posted:That sounds like a horrible design failure. Its not. Its standard practice for many diesels, some have less of a selection (Powerstrokes have 2 thickness selections IIRC) but Diesels, due to their need for high compression, have to have EXACT distances and the smallest possible clearance between head and pistons in order to maximize overall compression. Its more of an issue on Indirect Injection diesels, with pre-burn cups that require higher than normal compression, versus Direct Injection where you can run lower compression because peak compression is held in a cup on the piston.

um excuse me posted:Anything is private parts if you squint just hard enough. We were all teenagers once. There used to be (  ) a tradition at work of trying to hide a cock n' balls in castings somewhere. One former employee was particularly adept at it, to the point that one old product had some check machining on it solely to remove said appendages because they were a little too obvious and we didn't want to offend any customers.

One of them was not on the back of lagging inside the reactor compartment on pressurizer piping that someone had to inspect.

That air cooled Deutz I posted about a while ago had a procedure where you insert a bunch of shims under the cylinder when you install it, then lay a length of 2mm solder across the piston. Torque down the heads and bar the engine over. Then remove the heads, and measure the thickness of the solder after it was crushed. It gave a spec for the crush and you were supposed to lift the cylinder up and cut out the appropriate number of shims to get the right amount of clearance between the pistons and the head. Didnt put enough shims in on assembly and you need to increase the clearance? Guess you're taking the piston all the way back out, removing the cylinder, and reassembling with more shims, then repeating the process. Guess who had to assemble an engine twice?

My car is made entirely out of hackjobs, but this tops everything now. A couple of months ago I bought a fancy aluminum bracket so I could run a serpentine setup with an alternator from a much newer car. This RACING bracket broke into several pieces and I can't tension the alternator anymore. But $4 walmart ratchet strap can!

At one point I had the starter in a borrowed car fail. The cast body of the thing actually cracked around one of the bolts holding it in and the other wasn't enough to keep it from drooping down enough to where it wouldn't engage the flywheel anymore. Two wrenches wedged in just so managed to cram it back into position so I could start the thing and get it back to its owner. My afternoon was then spent replacing that starter with one harvested from another vehicle which was laying on its side in said person's yard, so that's the level of beater I was dealing with.
