grnberet2b posted:When we start getting a lot of rain in our area, the news stations start running stories about idiots that drove in to water, typically accented by the drivers of the Fire department's ladder trucks saying that they don't even think about crossing if the water is more than a foot deep, and more than 6 inches is something they hesitate on. It never fails that some moron disregards these stories and gets their saga added to the news broadcast that night... Some people fail to understand that your car cannot breathe water

VikingSkull posted:Same here. I worked for like two years in an aircraft refurbish shop right out of high school, and landing gear is the bane of my existence. We have to safety wire in the VHF radios, antenna lines, etc. A lot of the things we safety wire would never come loose even with excessive vibration, but the TO says to do it

meatpotato posted:Oil in the head bolt hole when you torqued down the bolt? No, that is from the coolant and oil flowing into the bolt hole when the engine was running. That was before the crack fully developed and caused hell on earth. What pissed me off was the fact that when I was putting the headgasket on, it WASN'T there, and I had tapped all the bolt holes to clean them out, they were clean and dry Oh well, got a new block. Going to take the old block to the machine shop and we are going to take a crack at welding it CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Jul 9, 2010 |

azflyboy posted:The 33 B-1's that got mothballed (representing 1/3 of the entire production run) were actually retired as a cost cutting measure, since programs like the F-22 and F-35 were running massively over budget and grounding some of the B-1 fleet freed up enough money to keep operating the remaining aircraft. I have a high doubt as to this actually happening, the dates for retirements have CONSTANTLY been pushed back for almost every current serving Air Force craft. dietcokefiend posted:
...and don't forget, almost everythings cost in the Air Force is inflated, so in actuallity had this been a civilian plane it would have been maybe a quarter of that! Trust me, Avionics guy for C-130s

If you create a TON of load on your engine and it has no way to cool itself sufficiently (i.e. no airflow beyond what the fan is pulling) your car is going to DIE.

IOwnCalculus posted:Timing belts I don't mind as long as they have a sane replacement process and interval, especially on non-interference engines. Plastic has no business in an engine's valve timing system, especially on an interference engine. I'm not fond of timing belts, but after using them on TDIs and volkswagen TDs, I have not minded them. Most of them last forever and as long as you get a quality timing belt, you won't have issues. I fully agree though, plastic does not belong in the engine's critical timing system
