Using only the top of the line Halogen fluid, too, I hope.

 

haha thats a great picture. ive added rep points for that one!!!

 

Say Brad,
This may be a little off topic, but what exactly was that Yugo being towed behind anyway...

 

It sounds like it will be a long 8 hrs. for him. lol.

 

Your doing it ALLLLL wrong, you need to pack the new muffler bearing before instalation, contrary to popular belief. Alot of people make this mistake.

 

I am surrprised... Reuse the pads, one rotor grooved?? no

Pads seat to surface (rotor)

Here is an example: I re ringed my piston, but didnt hone the cylinder. Then after driving for a while, I realized I didnt have good compression so I then decided to hone it??? Do I need new rings? Yes

Looks like the same question to me...

I replaced the cap. but not the rotor???

I changed the points but not the condensor???

OOOOOKKAAAAAAAYYYYY!

 

That was self powered my friend. My roommate dropped in a 4 cylinder Fiat engine and put a homemade ram air on it. There was a 3 mile straight stretch of road and we managed to get that baby up to 110mph. In case you are wondering, yes, it felt like it was going to shake apart at any second.

 

He's also using the wrong tool. You should use left handed plyers not left handed tweezers. Also you should pack the bearing with K/9-P.

 

LOL clowns all of you.


Ok new brake pads, really grooved rotors. You can reuse the pads you just put on but sand them smooth. I usually grind the groves away on the concrete. The floor is flat my hand is not. Measure the rotors, what is the minimum on the rotors?

 

We have to make our 8 hour drive back home tomorrow. I'll try to post another argument and we'll see who's right. We've had a discussion for 16 years now about whether a helicopter can go straight up and not move or if gravity forces it to move. I guess it depends on your definition of move. (almost started to argue it now, but ...oh wait, we might start arguing it)

Or we can discuss the benefits of installing a new Y pipe in the F-250 - although I wasn't arguing with that decision.

 

Oh. that's easy. The helicopter always remains motionless and the world revolves around the pilot.

 

so you'll reuse the piston, but not the rings?

seriously though, throw a dingleball hone through and break the glazing on the cylinder wall and your rings will wear to match the cylinder wall by the time you get done turning the engine over to build it and install it...

and completely off topic... why would anyone ever throw a ring kit into a worn out engine? For just a little bit more you can bore it and get nice new round cylinders...

And the helicopter question...

yes a helicopter can take off exactly vertically without any x/y motion, but you have to define what the motion (or lack thereof) is in respect to.
If you mean in respect to the earth, you have to do two things... 1) account for any wind... once your skids (or wheels) leave the ground, the wind will move the vehicle... 2) account for the coriolis effect. Since the earth is in motion itself, once you lose contact with it, you are no longer traveling with it.

 

Yes you are, or else you would be going almost 1,000 mph. the gravity still very much holds you in place.

 

It would be nice if TexasRebel were correct. I could be in Las Vegas in two hours on a pogo stick.

 

now that we're completely off topic...

ahhh, but you are...

once you leave the ground, you still have momentum from when you were attached to the earth by friction... you are also in a fluid (the atmosphere) that is, for the most part, moving with the earth. If you ever have a little time, read up on the coriolis effect. It is something that pilots have to deal with, and before the days of computer guidance, it was a much bigger deal to the Navy. ...oh, and, by the way... this effect is what causes the water to spin when you flush...
