Large Testicles posted:back when i was working at a benz/chrysler dealership in like '06 we had a mercedes diesel eat poo poo so bad it snapped the cams in like 30 different pieces and the entire valve train was basically shattered. i had a picture on my potato phone but it's long since gone. A bunch of the VW AAB 2.4D motors I imported ended up like this because the moron who last touched them wasn't aware that diesels have different thickness headgaskets and used the thinnest one without measuring the piston extrusion from the deck. I still have some souvenirs from rebuilding them, including a camshaft snapped in 3 places and a connecting rod that got thrown through the block

Llewellyn posted:Driving around Seattle today after yesterday's ice storm and checking out all the cars still stuck in ditches gave me a couple data points as far as car owner stereotypes go. Mostly trucks and subarus of course, the kind of people who think their car will somehow have traction on wet ice because the guy at the dealer said they can drive on everything. I've mainly been thinking about the one mini cooper I saw though. Someone yesterday saw all the news headlines saying not to drive and thought "well they're probably thinking about non-mini cooper owners." Our winter storm last Feb was like that - cars stuck for days, in ditches, at the bottom of hills, etc. Lots of cars with the front clips torn off from hitting Jersey barriers. It's all about not getting overconfident though. Yeah, I was in a Subaru, which helped with getting going (SO's Toyota couldn't even get out of the driveway). All the AWD and 4x4 in the world isn't going to help you turn or stop - I don't think I got much over 10 mph that entire week, except when I had some fun in a parking lot (probably got up to 20 then, turns out old Outback wagons do some very nice controlled slides in snow).

Was putting a set of Drag Cartel cams into the K24 BRZ a couple of days ago, found yet another vibration related failure. Haltech ECU popped a code for exhaust cam sync a few hundred track miles ago, but it never came back so I forgot about it. Noticed some chips in the head casting as I was looking everything over, then discovered that a stainless steel valve cover baffle broke from vibration, got sucked into the exhaust cam trigger wheel, and wrapped around the exhaust cam position sensor. Everything still ran fine, lol. Found a few other baffle spots that had cracked and would probably have caused much worse damage if they let go.    I've put about 900 competitive track miles on it in the last 3 months... so far: 2x broken throttle body to adapter bolts 1x dead dbw throttle body 1x set of header bolts cracked valve cover baffle Oh well, got a few mitigations in mind going forward. 1hr cam swap is pretty nice though

Got to say, I don't see the point of the baffle being made out of stainless, being inside the actual oiled part of the engine. If it wasn't stainless it'd probably stand up a lot better to vibration without cracking.

I was testing it for someone, I don't think he realized the vibration that these things see on track with the balance shafts removed.  We'll get it figured out.BraveUlysses posted:drat! it sure makes the thing easy to work on in comparison, though the engine being moved back 6" kills the FA easiest clutch job ever thing

If my winters survive the rest of the winter, I've been kinda wondering how I would break the bead on them so that I can remove them and repaint the wheels so they look a little bit less rusty. Sagebrush posted:Admittedly that DIY hydrographics step was pretty cool. Years ago I read in Cars +Parts Magazine that that was a good way to paint pieces that might have little nooks and crannies and what not. I think they did that on one of their restoration projects. Fill a bin with water, dump a bunch of paint on top and then dip the parts. THey used it for a bunch of suspension parts IIRC.

I did the splatter paint look on my winter wheels. Bought them second-hand with scratches and scuffs so no real loss if they came out bad. I painted them flat white while the old tires were on, then literally splattered them with enamel paints from the hobby shop. The only thing I'd change is sealing them up after; white paint attracts brake dust like a MF.

Knowing him, it rolled into whatever space he's working on it under its own power. Somehow, and probably smelling like death. edit: goddamn I shouldn't skim. It loving did drive there! If it was anybody except CSB I'd be shocked, but there's still friction material on the clutch disc... it probably didn't explode into 52 card pickup until he cracked a bolt loose, but with the issues he mentioned after getting the new engine in, I'm not surprised at all. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Dec 29, 2022 |

I don't believe in higher powers but seeing pictures of that clutch that was supposedly still working has slightly changed my mind.

80 miles prior. The truck has had this squeak on decel for a little while. 2nd and 3rd gear only. high engine braking loads. Sorta the noise like when you shut an engine down and the fan belt chirps. Tightened the belts. No dice. Replace belts since they were cracked. No dice. All the front accessory drive stuff spins fine enough without any reason for squeaks. It continues and slowly becomes more common. Some 400 miles later I'm getting this new noise that sounds like shuffling your feet on short carpet with the clutch pushed in. And I can tell the clutch is dragging when trying to shift into any gear from neutral. That's surely gonna break something. Clutch is actuating, fork looks fine-ish. In the left turn lane getting ready to enter the entrance frame for the highway I start to let the clutch out and it dumps. almost rearending the car in front of me. Quick work on the brake prevented it. That's the last time the clutch worked, some 80 miles prior to where I pulled it out of the truck. On this stretch I mostly ran 4th gear spinning the engine good to get me to where I needed to go. I floated gears and shut the engine down/started it back up to navigate surface streets. Now it screeches in all forward gears, loaded, unloaded, and even reverse. Uncoupling from the camper, it still works. Transmission in 2wd- low range, 1st gear. Do a slooow burnout pulling out from under the camper as the engine fights the brakes. Final send is to float it to lo-3rd and cut a doughnut since it turns about that of a container ship before its parked where I pull the clutch out. This truck makes maybe 200hp. The clutch came with the new engine I dropped in last year. Since the clutch looked new I didn't suspect anything. The engine/clutch has 6000 miles on it in this truck.

I threw in the towel and had a shop do it. I've also heard you can break tire beads by jacking a car up, removing a wheel, positioning the loose tire and wheel beneath the brake rotor, and lowering the jack until the rotor and the weight of the car pushes the tire off the bead. Like this. PBCrunch fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Dec 29, 2022 |
