Berryman's B12 Carb Cleaner would be my choice in that case.

rndmnmbr posted:In the followup video, pretty much all of rest of the transmission, saving the exploded input shaft and pump stator that got chewed up removing the torque converter, was still solid and reusable. Rich really knows his poo poo with transmissions. One of his videos showed up in my YouTube feed randomly, and I've been hooked ever since. Guys, lemme tell ya I get real excited when Richard comes back atcha with another transmission in the house that he's going to physically tear down.

Brought to you by the same engineers and management that brought you the previous edition, "no we have no idea why the heads keep falling off our head bolts, the design meets specifications and the parts ARE NOT BAD but we have a newer design that is better and we'll comp you a new $50k engine but only if you're the original owner and no this is not subject to a recall"

Now I'm remembering somebody's story I heard about a mechanic who was tasked with restoring a numbers-matching 60s aluminum Ferrari engine worth hundreds of thousands, and he hot-tanked it

I didn't feel so bad because the same week, an employee dropped a matching-numbers Pontiac straight-8 block from about 4-feet onto the shop floor & cracked it or broke off one of the various protuberances on the thing.

I would def smoke a joint with the guy that found, trapped, and caught a KGB-recruited west German hacker in 1986, and was tutored/mentored in electronic music by Robert loving MOOG, and now sells klein bottles pulled out of his crawlspace by a tiny remote controlled forklift.

I've met a few topologist. They're an odd bunch, but Cliff is way way out there in the best possible way.

Friend of mine was telling me about doing inspections on contractors' vehicles going onto mine sites, they would often be hauling a trailer with whatever on it (tools, supplies, a backhoe etc). He said that probably two out of five had a shackle on their safety chain that wasn't rated. Often they would just be those tiny little d-shackles you get from fishing supply stores, but one time he got into an argument with a guy who was insisting his shackle was rated. Which it was. It was a screw-gate climbing carabiner rated to 250kg

Yeah at 16 years old, I used a slur in casual convo discussing a safety switch on an outboard motor held open with device cobbled from some cardboard, some tape, and a penny. I repeated what I'd heard another dockhand say regarding the switch, but while talking to my boss. Who it could apply to. His eyes went wide, and I stammered trying to bury what I'd just said with more words, but it was too late. We never discussed it after, and I worked for him another two summers, but I for drat sure Xed it from my language bank from that day forward.
