MrYenko posted:People who drive a car with a flashing CEL for longer than to-the-shoulder-to-wait-for-a-flatbed should have their loving licenses revoked. Had a terrible GMC Safari as a work van. It ate up transmissions between oil changes and work couldn't be bothered to do regular maintenance on it, instead they'd roll it into a shop after something broke. Of course when poo poo hit the fan it was always "Hey, why didn't you tell us [X] was happening " and when you did ring up the boss man to tell him [X] was happening he'd just say "I'm not made of money, deal with it until it breaks" Then they'd take their god damned safari to the Hyundai dealership because bossman had a friend that worked there, but the guys would always gently caress up the repairs and take forever. On transmission #3 when I started the van a day after getting it it sounded like loose marbles in the bell housing and after pulling out I saw the transmission had pissed out a pretty serious amount of fluid. Anyway, it was going through a series of ignition/fuel supply/spark problems for months that meant about a half mile from home the CEL would start flashing and stay like that for most of the day. I called it in the first few times and it went back to the dealership and had the entire ignition system replaced piece by piece. Work never compensated us for the time going to/from the dealership before or after work or the time it took to restock the van and I was pretty fed up, so after trip four from the dealership when it lit up again I just drove it with that loving light flashing for a week till it wouldn't start. They took it some place that did work on trucks, turns out the cat was cooked.

I've never had one in a vehicle yet (fortunately) but I just brought in a box that's been in the garage for a few months (with some old pictures, my dart board, that kind of poo poo) and found a HUGE one living inside. After I'd been reaching in and pulling things out, of course.

The HF press is well worth it. When I had a garage I owned one and pressed out lots of bearings from motorcycle cases.

HA gave the guys at my local aircooled shop a pack of smokes each and a pizza for pressing a poo poo ton of stuff for my engine rebuild and body-off restoration of a Ghia. They were next door to my work so I'd drop over on lunch and pick up after work.

ShittyPostmakerPro posted:Denso compressor? Siezed and hosed the clutch? Sure looks like a Denso to me. Looks like the compressor coil got loose and wreaked havoc on the rest of it. Which I managed to do on my goddamn WJ because I didn't have that snap ring seated fully. At least I caught it before it trashed the compressor, but it ruined the new coil and the clutch.

Good to know. The snap ring for the electromagnet coil can be tough to work out if its fully seated. I never thought about the consequences of the pulley's snap ring coming loose. Good thing my compressor is still hosed since June and sitting on my bench. (If anyone knows where to get a front main seal for a 1991 UZZ32 soarer AC compressor then let me know, and yes, my current solution is 'find a whole loving new comopressor')

No idea where I'll find a gasket set in the UK, time to prepare for shipping costs that are higher than the item costs (yet again!) Edit: Never mind, Aliexpress has packs of 5 shaft seals for $8.50.

Sweet Jesus. I guess it's sort of like that old line: to err is human, but to really gently caress up you need two turbos.

SouthsideSaint posted:Holy crap thanks for the new t shirt idea Haha, I'm imagining you with that look on your face the "have a nice day" shirt guy had in Forrest Gump. Why do OEMs usually seem to go for twin turbo setups, and the aftermarket goes for single? Aside from the days of vacuum lines and small/large setups to reduce lag, I know singles tend to make more power more reliably, and I guess a single would be lighter and more compact that a twin. Is there anything else?

Faster Blaster posted:Haha, I'm imagining you with that look on your face the "have a nice day" shirt guy had in Forrest Gump. Generally packaging. A big single might be physically smaller, but in a lot of cases it's easier to find 2 1-cubic-foot spaces than it is to find 1 1.5-cubic-foot space. Plus they're almost universally on V-engines, in which case 2 turbo headers are a lot simpler than doing a 6- or 8-into-1 for a single turbo, which usually means beneath/behind the engine, which makes the intake piping longer and even less responsive (a good chunk of what we call turbo lag is just the delay from the throttle plate opening to when that wave of increased flow/volume actually reaches the cylinders).

I just figured out most twin turbo setups aren't sequential.
