Yeah, it's a confusing picture of the tunnel section of a Porsche 914. It's like it's being shown off in the hallway of a hotel convention center. I thought it would be easier to find pics but I guess most of them had the lines replaced or the car burnt to the ground before decent digital photos were common. If the battery tray doesn't look great, run the gently caress away, rust below spreads to load bearing areas.

The B-52 until the G variant had ejection seats for almost everyone, but the tail gunner was expected to clamber through a hole like it's 1943

They should have just made the whole compartment fall out so he could keep shooting baddies as he floats down.

Cojawfee posted:The worst part of Challenger was the guy screaming that the launch would fail because he noticed the problem, but it still went on because NASA wanted to prove the shuttle could be launched several times per year. This is going back a couple of pages but my grandfather was eating his company's commissary with a former Thiokol engineer when Challenger blew up. He said the guy slammed his fist on the table and just shouted, "the loving o-rings!" Everybody at Thiokol knew it was only a matter of time before it would happen.

The Challenger explosion was in an ethics class that was part of our standard curriculum at school, especially with engineering students. If some dumb-poo poo businessman is pressuring you to act in a way that threatens lives, you tell them to gently caress off or make them strap their asses in instead.

Even aside from the O-rings losing resiliency at low temperatures, it was just a fundamentally flawed design. A primary O-ring failed to seal entirely on STS-22, at a launch temperature of 75 degrees F. Tests following STS-51C showed that even at 75 degrees, the O-rings were incapable of reliably preventing blow-by and could take up to 2.4 seconds to expand to fill the gap. At 50 degrees, they took 10 minutes to do so. They got lucky 24 times. 25th time caught up to them.

Looks like an A/C pulley, and with a slipping clutch they can get red hot. e: in the larger pic it actually looks like a crank pulley with a failed insulator. Powershift fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Jul 17, 2018 |

It might be a harmonic balancer, on some the outer ring is just bonded with rubber to the centre part of the pulley. Looks like there's little chunks of rubber there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5KZZ1TMJ8Y&t=55s

It's the crank pulley/harmonic balancer. The rubber that bonds the center to the pulley rots eventually. There's nothing else that keeps them together.

Wow you guys are pros. Yup it has what looks like rotted rubber on the inside. Too bad it doesn't have any part numbers or we could tell what kind of car it comes from and I could warn the owner haha. It has 4 teeth so doesn't match the Hyundai in the video. https://imgur.com/a/DPa3iES for the album.

That is of course not to say that the car people actually fix the problems, but they can usually rattle off the list of what's wrong and how bad it is, where the others will be like "I never noticed" when you ask about the obvious misfire causing the entire car to shake while the CEL tries to blink SOS in morse. wolrah fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jul 17, 2018 |

"I never noticed" is just code for "I totally heard poo poo making bad noises but I didn't want to get ripped off AGAIN by that scumbag mechanic who's been warning me about it for two years because we all know they make poo poo up to rip us off."

~car people~ can be worse; someone who knows just enough to be dangerous will get a CEL, diagnose it, then if it's minor they'll drive with it forever rather than fix it, and miss other issues that would've triggered a light, but since it's already permanently on, go unnoticed until something explodes.

It me, also, but in my defense I literally couldn't pay for the repairs unless they were structural until recently. Which means my car is mega-boned now, because most of the maintenance is too far gone to fix without replacing major parts. At least I know enough to replace cheap bits that can be reached, like the MAF sensor, and to top off fluids in weird places, like the power steering fluid. It's still a poo poo heap that's never going to get better, but at least it's still running

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Should my heart be going this fast? The first time I ever drank Redline, I was driving into Portland for the first time solo after spending my entire life on non-city roads. I pounded the entire thing in the parking lot of a truck stop 2 hours from my destination before reading the label: - drink 1/4 of the bottle - think about your life choices for a half hour - if you're not totally speed-hosed, drink another 1/4 - save the rest for tomorrow - NEVER DRINK THE WHOLE THING ALL AT ONCE OR YOU'LL PROBABLY EXPERIENCE TOTAL CARDIAC EXPLOSION Welp. No choices. I have to say, having that much focus makes it really easy to drive in traffic for about a half hour, and then it's too overwhelming. And that's assuming you get to that level without almost vomiting in an Arby's parking lot while wishing for death.

I tried 5 hour energy on the way to the airport for a trip to Minnesota 4 years ago and it didn't even keep me awake, nevermind alert. Also had horrible aftertaste and made me feel nauseated. 0/10 would not try again. This bearing was every bit as gacked as it sounds. Gigantic craters in the races and the balls all looked about like the moon if not worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-3O4bCICZI Still gotta do the other side... It's just whining right now and I'm lazy.

My dumbass friend recently bought an Aztek with a mostly-shredded serpentine belt. He wan't worried about it because they included a new one. I replaced the the belt and almost immediately it had slipped off the crank pulley and was rubbing against the case. I had never seen a pulley fail and I didn't know what this engine was supposed to look like so it was confusing as hell. Fortunately the 3400 SFI is really common so I found the answer with enough googleing. Unfortunately it's still an Aztek.
