I saw where someone didn't want to drill all the way down from the deck to the cam so they stopped around half way down. Then ran a line from the oil pressure galley to the bottom of the holes they drilled which kept it all on the inside. looked similar to the cross over mod people do but for...

Would you mind showing pics of it?

I'm just curious why someone would grind that far into the block. Is it pushrod clearance or something?

Yeah and the customer rarely knows what goes into changing a "tensioner". Some of these things require half the engine bay to be cleared out. Conversely, techs get screwed all the time with seemingly small jobs taking excessive amounts of time. It goes both ways.

I'll take it, PM incoming.

Thanks, in my head, it's reversed (faster vs slower). Just shows how much I don't know about the terminology. Much appreciated.

Ok, just a question for the uninitiated... Doesn't more lift inherently result in slightly more duration for a given base circle? I get faster ramps but comparing old to old (slower ramps), or modern to modern (faster ramps), doesn't a measurable amount of duration come along for the ride as...

When I did mine I asked my brother who is a Master Electrician. I was told code requires those circuits to be independent from each other. The cost difference is minimal and the end result will be better. People like to scoff at "code" but at the end of the day should your structure go up in...

Probably not how most people around here would do it, but hey, ya gotta start somewhere. High mile commuter car so a great place to practice. Filler, isn't for closing holes or making repairs, it's for doing a final leveling of an actual repair and prepping for paint. If you did in fact use...

Especially if you're pulling an ice house. :)

People who never lived in the snow don't believe me when I tell them I turned the act of doing a doughnut into a parking maneuver at the mall. lol.

Swap that for a 74 Challenger and it would be me growing up in MN.

This as been a problem for way too long. When I was in college in the late 90s I guy started tracking telemarketers calling his business phone and eventually started filing small claims lawsuits with his county clerk. Apparently the point of infraction on is on the recipients side so to defend...

The scan results in what's called a "point cloud" which is just a collection of points in a 3D space. From there, the software can be used to create a mesh, or a "solid" which can me manipulated, "traced" used as a reference etc. There are a number of videos showing various processes people...

I've been looking at them again. I borrowed a ferret pro a while back and it was interesting. There is definitely a learning curve to using them but nothing that seems insurmountable. The Inspire 2 looks promising per the usual you tube reviews. it will apparently do structured light scans in...

I think it's you that didn't get my point. We'll agree to disagree...

You miss the part where drones have to broadcast the registration number? But by all means shoot one down and see how that goes for you.

Yup and the pilots are licensed and abide by appropriate laws .

When I first moved to Texas in 2017, neighbor decided it was a good idea to fly is DJI Mavic Pro over my property and watch what I was doing. I was moving stuff in and out of my garage reorganizing. I didn't know who it was at first, but it took about 2 minutes to find out by sending an email...

I used to worry about that with my 70 vert Cuda', which is a total rust bucket money pit of a POS, but it's mine... SO, I'm cloning a 71 since nothing will be "original" anyway and I prefer the 71 over the 70. Technically, the things I'll be changing can be reversed with a pile of front end...

LOL, not upset, but to be that dismissive in order to make some fictious point was unwarranted. Also, it's been proven again and again, that a carburetor results in more power than EFI in MANY cases, IF one knows how to tune a carb etc. It is also a real issue that EFI is NOT always plug and...

Yup, let's be honest, there are major companies making major parts for performance engines using 3d printing tech. Might be prototyping injection horns, or entire intake manifolds. They can also make shapes not possible using other methods so your point about 3d printing is not what I was going...

A forum was added for 3d printing. This is arguably a more relevant topic. It's kind of a no brainer...

It's literally a few more clicks....

Honestly I'd like to see something like that broken up into the various flavors like Holley, Factory, Speeduino, MegaSquirt, etc. Like it or not there is a valid place for it. Engine still gonna engine, suck, squeeze, bang, blow....

70 Barracuda Convertible (cloning a 71) Get the metal work done. I've got it down the bones and braced and it still feels like I've done nothing productive. Start on the motor (2018 6.4 SRT HEMI) Locate/Acquire parts - Shaker bubble - Gull Wing - Header panel - Bumpers 65 Valiant (#2 son...

I've had them ignore "signature required" flags so many times I do whatever i can to avoid using them. Ordered a couple of grand with of sheet metal for my e-body and they did that to me. If there was a problem with any of the parts I wouldn't have had any recourse.

Yeah sorry I didn't realize it was flux. Not sure if that changes anything buys thinner wire always means less heat overall. You're going to need flux core though which I think means you're stuck with 0.30 min

For sheetmetal I use 0.23 or thereabouts. Keeps temp down
