No diesel? Whats the procedure for making coolant with a lower freezing point? Do you mix more coolant and less water? IIRC most of the time 50/50 coolant - water is like -40 or -45. So if its say 60/40 coolant to water does it lower the freezing point?

Including one that has the initials of my highschool engraved in to it. I did take auto shop there a few times, but I have no idea why I have a random 10mm socket that once belonged to a highschool that I graduated from 25+ years ago.

I know that npt threads are *supposed* to seal by thread distortion but I've never seen npt threads that would actually seal that way unless they were cranked down harder than Soulja boy ever cranked anything. And they were impossible for me to get off using a 36" pipe wrench. Probably should have used a 48 I guess. So my solution is either thread dope or Teflon tape and tighten it till is "tight". Never had a single loving leak doing that unless I didnt put enough dope or put the tape on in the wrong direction. Both of those my fault obviously. Thousands of uses at thousands of PSIs and no leaks. slidebite posted:Tons of npt on hydraulics, *mostly* trouble free.

slidebite posted:The problem isn't so much using thread sealant itself, as with most things, It's doing it improperly. Yeah most of the newer stuff my company has is sealed with ORB or ORFS which is nice except when the O ring falls out of the face on ORFS fittings.

Many years ago a friend in highschool's dad had a shopping cart with the basket cut off, and a couple of braces welded at the front of the horizontal "U" shaped part that the basket sat on and it was just about perfect to cart (no pun intended) a small block chevy around.

I wish STR/Random Idiot the best, I really do. We all (or most of us) remember when the guy whose name we try not to mention made his fire filled departure from the forums. A gang of motherfuckers here basically said "the one thing that all of your hosed up relationships have in common is YOU". Perhaps the same thing applies here.

I'm not saying str is like you know who, but they can still have a similar issue. Wrt life choices that aren't the greatest for their personal lives/health etc. whether or not the system is partly or fully at fault in either of their cases. I probably didn't explain that well.

Yup, stay away from the great lakes area, nothing to see here, you got plenty of water where y'all are right now, no need for anyone to move here, it's like they say "Onterrible" and so on. There's lots of fresh water everywhere else no need to come here, you're good where you are thanks.

His Divine Shadow posted:I notice the speeds you're talking, doing 80mph (129kph) and 90mph (144kph). Those are not common speeds here. In fact there's nowhere in Finland you can drive 140 on a public road and not instalose your license and get hefty fines if caught. If you're referring to Soichan's post, I'm pretty sure that was KMH not MPH. As Thunder Bay (Ontario) and Winnipeg were mentioned.

heffray posted:Is there a reason to use runny loctite blue instead of the gel type? Gel actually stays in place and seems a lot more convenient. If you have enough wire, can't you just buy some wire connectors from napa, or some electronics store, cut the old ones off and wire up the new ones? E: I don't know how good these particular ones are, but this is definitely available to us commoners. https://www.amazon.ca/TING-Waterpro...f9e6ba75b58d22d Then you just get wire of the appropriate gauge and colour bing bang boom. Start selling this poo poo to your fellow old people.

heffray posted:: relative resistance factors into this system's behavior, and adding an extra crimp and a random plug might change that enough to matter. Got ya. This is something I've actually wondered recently. What types of systems might rely on resistance (among other things) to function properly where adding an extra length of wire for *some reason that might be somewhat valid at the time* might cause a malfunction due to too much resistance in the circuit. Or possibly not enough resistance.

slidebite posted:Talking about loctite/thread lockers/anti seize, I'm going to take a wild guess that retaining compound is some sort of glue like poo poo that keeps a bolt from rattling off while still leaving it able to be turned with only a minimal effort? As opposed to thread locker that might require a torch? Right? Wrong?

Boaz MacPhereson posted:To my knowledge it's the opposite. Retaining compound is for poo poo that is not supposed to come apart. Period. I've got some green stuff from Loctite - don't recall the number - and it kind of scares me. I haven't used it yet and don't know of anything specific that would require it, but I got some should the need arise. Looked it up, it appears to be glue for poo poo thats not threaded.

I wonder who's going to be on the hook for this one Probably, but if it was already under way, and the whole thing happened in the span of a few minutes, there might not have been time to get tugs there, hooked up and then able to stop or redirect millions of pounds.

Just watched the movie "two lane black top" starring James Taylor and Dennis Wilson. Thought it was good but kinda weird at the same time. I've heard it described as "easy rider but with no drugs, and cars instead of motorcycles".

Ether Frenzy posted:Dennis Wilson is also the beach boy who was in thrall to Charles Manson because Manson brought him 14 year old girls to have sex with. James Taylor sang Carole King's "You've Got a Friend" and made it somehow more treacly, it's up to the listener to decide who is actually worse. How the gently caress did I know? Is there anyone famous from back then who wasnt: racist, anti-gay or didn't have sex with girls under the age of 18?

No worries. Just seems like every famous person from "back then" was racist, wife beater (forgot that one), anti-gay or had sex with girls under the age of whatever the gently caress.

fridge corn posted:I've been tasked with making a playlist of songs about cars/driving for reasons. There are a lot of songs about cars and and driving and I quickly amassed a list of over 300. Anyway, looking for more obscure records I might have overlooked so gimmie your best songs about cars I know young people these days hate the Beach Boys because boomers love them, but I assume you've got a bunch of their poo poo in there? Jan and Dean (Boomers probably love them too I guess) Surf City, Dead Man's Curve, Little Old Lady From Pasadena. Ronnie and the Daytonas (Little) GTO Rip Chords Hey Little Cobra. Various Artists have done this one: Hotrod Lincoln Chuck Berry Maybelline Wilson Pickett Mustang Sally Maybe you've already got got those ones. This isn't a car song, or a "song about driving" but its a dope track for when you're driving. Not sitting in traffic, not driving really fast or whatever the gently caress, just when you're fuckin rolling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_SxhgSAkF8 E: Also this one is dope for driving at night during a thunder storm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2HHT7txFQ0 wesleywillis fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 14, 2024 |
