This found it's way into my flower bed. I don't know where it came from. The only two cars that are usually in my driveway are an old suburban and a new Xterra. I guess it's my neighbor's way of saying I need to water my plants? Seriously, no clue where it came from.

From what some other people have said, it looks like its from a Nissan. One person said a 240SX, but it seems as though a lot of Nissan's had the same design. Thankfully the new Xterra's water pump is different.

InitialDave posted:They're pretty tight on ground pollution from oil leaks etc. It was muddy yards and cars stacked three-high for you to climb over ten or fifteen years ago, now you're more likely to see the sanitised version pictured if they mainly deal in newer cars. The old kind is still around, but their days are probably numbered They're doing the same around parts of Southern California as well, to better control runoff and minimize ground pollution. The truth is, it's really goddamned nice working in a paved yard, whether you're laying under a car or trying to move something heavy up to the checkout. So it's a plus for the environment and a plus for the consumer, with the cost to the yard owner presumably being made up in slightly higher prices.

Good eye, this is an F22B2 with 197k miles on it. I was really looking forward to the 200k rollover, but it was not to be.

Tomarse posted:I'm assuming from the wear also showing on the rocker arms round it this is all due to a blocked oilway? That was my assumption also. There also seemed to be wear starting on the other end, so it's possible that the oil pump wasn't generating enough pressure to really ensure oil flow.

Dr 14 INCH DICK Md posted:Serious question is it possible for train diesels to runaway like big rigs? Because thats a terrifying thought. Yes. If the valve seals, piston rings, or turbo start leaking sufficient oil, they will run away. Any diesel can. They'll just eat their own lubricating oil till it runs out and then die a horrible death unless you can find a way to block the intake of air. But with the locomotives, I'm pretty sure there is a cutoff for the generator to the motors, so even if the engine ran away they'd just cut the feed of power.

You know, there was a picture of a locomotive that threw a piston into a house earlier in this thread. For the longest time I've been trying to figure out how that would happen, and this is the only reason I can think of. I knew about diesels running away but I never really thought about it in this context, thank you.

lazer_chicken posted:What engine is this, a honda f22? Don't see many camshaft failures on ohc engines these days. One of my younger brothers snapped both intake cams at the gear last weekend in his N/A z32 because he apparently had some mildly bent valves that bound the cams at 6500 rpms. This is me busting the crank pulley loose with a puller*. As soon as the timing belt came off both intake cams (arrows) were spinning freely. That's not right!  *big hammer and a flathead

With no oxygen, whatever the engine's burning won't be able to ignite.
