Reminds me of that idiot who decided to try to tow a trailer with a ridiculously-sized tree stump loaded too far forward with a 1/2 ton truck. It bent the frame. Can't find any links to it..my google-fu is weak tonight.

incredibull posted:OK this is scheduled maintenance and not routine failure, but not often do you get to see impellers this large. Mind you, this is from a "small" slow-speed marine diesel. Not being familiar with .5 ton turbo impellers, what is the scheduled maintenance that this will see? Cleaning?

el topo posted:That's quite a "never give up, never think things through" attitude... I must say, though, I'm surprised at how much that engine costs. VR6 (I am assuming) + absurd labor fees. The 24v VR6 is notorious for having a brittle oil pan. The 24v VR6 in my old GTI sheered ALL the teeth off one of the upper timing gears last year. Of course this threw off timing, though luckily it was when I was starting the motor, so it never had a chance to cause internal damage. Diagnosis, timing chain + gears replacement, oil pump replacement + seals = $4700. This was on a car worth $10,000 on a good day. Extraordinarily expensive motors to service, and my local dealer only had one technician who was certified to service them.

Was that asphalt hot? I had no clue asphalt like that could fail so easily.

Don't have a clue how this happened. The white stuff draining from my clutch is oil/water mix. I never rode in the rain last year, so it must have just been condensation from all the short trips to work. Pretty crazy.

I took it apart and everything seemed ok, I even bypassed the on/off/speed switch but that failed too. While I would love a cordless unit, my $30 dremel-type-thing is a Craftsman model. Love it.

jamal posted:that could actually be worse. the fact that the upper spring perch is wedged against the strut tower means that those long bolts aren't load bearing, and only see the forces generated by the damper, which are not as high or abrupt. Theoretically, it should work fairly well. It's just hideous/scary-looking. A solid spacer would be ideal.

General_Failure posted:What am I missing here? Could you please step me through why that fine is real-estate grade scary? Owning/driving cars in Denmark is outrageously expensive. Most of their cost is in taxes. Similar reason why their gas is $10/gallon right now.

Someone on another board I admin posted this today: "So me and a buddy just loaded a V6 Camaro with a 150 shot of nitrous"  Rod #6 wasn't terribly excited about the whole ordeal.
