Soaking my crankshaft in lye did an awesome job of getting all the aluminum from the seized con rod off of it, and the journal looks like it's in good shape. I ordered the $60 worth of parts needed to put this thing back together, so in about a week I'll either have a functional engine again, or I'll find any other problems the oil starvation caused when the whole thing grenades and I'll have plenty of photos to post here.

Just make sure you get all the bearing trash out of the crankcase and oil passages as well... and the oil passages in the crank. Otherwise you get to do it again!

All this rotor chat reminds me that I need to get an extra set. Mine should have plenty of life left, but it will be sad to waste a track day because I can't find spares.

I was gonna say, how the gently caress do you roll a tank? That's like flipping a pancake by sliding it around on the pan. Sucks about that truck though. Broken leaf spring? Poorly fabricated 4-link? I think I see leafs in the front and that looks like a half of a main leaf hanging down in the back, so leaning towards a busted leaf spring.

2-piece floating rotors are a good idea for a track car. A solid rotor will want to kind of dish out due to thermal expansion. A lot of 2-piece rotors are just bolted together and don't allow any float between the disc and hat, so sometimes this happens: Also those rotors don't come assembled and need to be safety-wired. Huge pain in the rear end.

But then maybe the hat was effectively heatsinking into the wheel...

I think I'm more surprised noone didn't go over with a match and set that fuel leak behind it on fire yet.

I guess because the penalty for crashing is much lower.

Stops things from undoing on their own, in circumstances where loctite or whatever isn't appropriate.

slothrop posted:Excuse my ignorance, what is the purpose of the safety wire? See how if one bolt tries to turn anticlockwise, the safety wire will tug its neighbour clockwise? That prevents either of them from coming loose and ruining your day or the day of someone behind you when the bolt becomes shrapnel.

This looks rad. How is safety wire generally done, like that? Does it come pre-twisted and you just bend it?

Not at all. It has to get looped through the hole in the bolt head before being twisted, so that's slightly like asking if zipties come pretightened. Here's how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwFjUX6SaY8

Sure looks like it's single strand wire twisted together to me, but I'm not sure due to the photo not focusing on it. And like MrYenko said, they forgot to fold the cut ends over and twist them underneath so they don't stab the gently caress out of your hands if you aren't careful. You can get little precrimped aircraft cable safety wires that have a ferrule crimped on one end, they cost more I think but are faster to apply because you just need a tensioning tool that pulls the cable snug through the two holes and then crimps the second ferrule on. Not sure what they're called, but we use them on some stuff. e: it's called Safe-T-Cable(r) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkYLqop7HlE or just safety cable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj1IZYcZGlY kastein fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jun 24, 2016 |

Does it not matter that the cable isn't going both thru the bolt head and around one outside edge of it like the hand-twisted version? I guess I don't get the actual mechanics of lockwire.

SEKCobra posted:I'm 99% sure he meant the fact that the wire is not a single strand, but rather twisted strands. Yeah it's a single strand, comes in a can. I can't find my can of it (it's good for general-purpose small-gauge Jerry-rigging, small baling wire) but here's the Wikipedia photo of it:  You put it though the hole in the bolt head and then twist it, as the video in the post you quoted makes clear. Edit: actual baling wire is pretty hefty stuff, right on the edge between "wire" and "rod", could be either depending on the length you're working with. Edit again: I've never worked with hay, but I have tied off bales from the pallet-sized version of this:  There's a reason "haywire" is slang for "gone pear-shaped", if you don't tie it off right it'll go back to being straight and put your eye out. Tying the bales is the newbie's job, of course. Chillbro Baggins fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jun 24, 2016 |

Hilarious. Yeah, I couldn't clearly see that only one strand was going through the holes in the bolts, and had no idea what the mechanism was. I learned.

What's the reason for safety wiring no more than three bolts at a time?
