It's definitely a odd thread (to me at least coming from the land of Metric and BPT/NTP)- Commodore64 would know more. They make ACME taps too. I've got a couple of small ones. Spendy to buy new, but hey... they do the trick. I assume we're talking about the internal thread of the powerfeed piece you brazed.

I'd watch. I watch a lot of Youtube as I'm doing mindless stuff, or on the couch.

Combined with the fact that you had to add oil because they burn it as part of normal operation. Back in the 70s and 80s, that used to be common on all engines, but starting in the 90s, engine tech got to the point that mom never needed to check the oil in her Camry, and yeah... The RX8 suffered because no one read the manual and a lot of them ran dry.

the spyder posted:Spoiler: Check out this plate. Gigidy. There's a lot of assholes who do that. GJ has an AWD thread, and I'd wager that 25% or more are the wrong item, often the cheapest HF knockoff available, stuffed in the original packaging. Then again, it's always worth a gamble, because I've gotten some crazy deals. A Justrite flammables cabinet (the little desktop-sized one) for $40 shipped, a bunch of rubber floor mats for in front of benches for like $20-$30 when they're $90+ normally, and a 4-pack of Akro-Mills folding lid storage totes for $36. If there's a problem, they always take them back. There's also the Amazon deals on "100-packs" that are actually 1-packs, and they just tell you to keep the single instead of sending it back. I've gotten a couple of grinding wheels that way.

7.3s are well built for stock use. You bump the power up a bunch, they tend to fall apart. They also have some Achilles heels, like the VCG carrying the glowplug harness, and the hpop that'll happily inject engine oil instead of fuel if the O-rings fail. Such a shame, only 99k...

Crunchy Black posted:WHAT Not much of a story. You can see it in the pictures. The glow plug electrical harness runs inside the valve cover gasket. It eventually fails and if you don't get it fixed and start the truck in cold weather, it'll fire on 7, 6, or 5 cylinders. This leads to major issues. Fuel washdown on the non-firing cylinders, cam/crank wear due to massive imbalance in loads, excessive cranking cooking the starter, or (maybe the culprit in this case) use of ether. Modern diesels aren't the Screaming Jimmy's of yesteryear, ether causes a ton of problems.

Elmnt80 posted:Weird lookin dong on it there buddy. It's got a semi-flared base, I'd say it's safe. Very cool product, and hopefully the community can quit suffering the inferior versions. I hate it when there's a niche product and the manufacturer decides that they can treat customers like crap because they're a captive audience.

I'll bet that made a noise. Glad you're ok (I assume). I've seen the damage a setup failure can do to the inside of a machine and the adjacent wall. It's scary the amount of energy contained in a cutting operation.

the spyder posted:And as a side note, nothing has me more upset than the Porsche and the F250. We knew eventually these trees would cause damage, but I wish I had finished these projects or moved them. Oh well. It's all fixable, just time and money I don't have. Sorry man. I saw the picture of the 911, and thought the worst. It doesn't look that bad, but photos don't do it justice. Hopefully insurance isn't a dick about it.

Then you get into indented/non indebted heads and serrated or non. Hoping to put some kits together. LloydDobler posted:That is nuts.
