cody posted:broken PCV pipe? 1. 2. both exhaust flanges aren't just loose, they are broken in such a manner that that's as tight as they get. One's missing a stud, the other, I don't know exactly, but it refuses to fit where it's supposed to. Stripped studs too. 3. 50 YEAR OLD worn suspension bush.

It's not that terrible, but it pissed me off. I was wondering why the supercharger wasn't kicking on--  Ohhh.

I just got done with a 1,500 mile ride on the motorcycle and was surprised at just how many drive belts I saw on the shoulders of various roads. All sorts and sizes of serpentine and V belts, well over a dozen. I never noticed while driving, guess you just see more when you're on the bike.

Slavvy posted:I'm in new Zealand, we have an upper weight limit on our trucks that was only lifted recently. There are no such ramps in the north island, where I live, as far as I've seen. There may be some in the south island but I'm not aware of it. The overwhelming majority of very long straight sloped roads are motorways which are totally enclosed; there aren't many (or any) mountain roads I can think of that trucks actually use because most mountains are usually circumvented. The other interesting thing to remember is that here in NZ the rules about weight and brake limits per axle are half the rest of the world. Which means that our standard milk tankers ie Fonterra are Rated and licensed to weigh no more then 48 tons, despite having 8 axles across the entire Unit. You can get heavier truck and these can be seen via those fluorescent 'H' on the front and back  So looking at that image 48/8 is 6 tons (6000kgs) per axle where as those axles are rated at 10/11 tonnes from the factory. Another reason for the massive overbraking on HGV in NZ is due to the lack of those emergency roads. Often with many roads lacking the space. The road that joat mon posted has definitely been installed as a result of campervans and tourists. But this is not the trucking thread.

  Valve dropped and munched the piston, if the block is to be saved it will need to be bored about .020 over. The nut on the valve spring retainer was missing, either it backed off or it was never there.

Surely if it had backed off it would still be in there somewhere? It doesn't seem like there's anywhere for it to go. What is that out of?

mungtor posted:Good luck with the install of the new shifter. I put a GMM Ripshift in my '04 and it was one of the most tedious things I've ever done. There's one bolt that you can only get 1/8 of a turn on at a time with the clearance between the tranny and the tunnel. If you're OK with it, you might want to drop the exhaust and the transmission brace to give yourself more room. If I had to do it all over again, I would just drill a hole in the tunnel from the top (or buy a set of ratcheting box wrenches). Also, Locktite the poo poo out of everything. Thanks for the heads up, mine is an '04 as well. Seeing how this just arrived today, I've got my work cut out for me:

InterceptorV8 posted:What's with you and waterpumps? I don't know. It was probably right about 11 years ago when I had the pump on my old 350 full-on loving shatter, I wish I hadn't lost the pics in a hard drive failure. It's not like most of them have given me poo poo, though. The one that replaced the shattered one lasted until the engine got yanked. The Volvo's and MS3's never gave me any trouble, and the Miata's I replaced when I spotted a very slow leak during a timing belt swap. I had to replace this one the first time because the PO thought RTV belonged on O-ring gaskets.

When I fixed my kids' stupidly overpowered quad a month or so ago I realised someone had been tampering. The carburettor had a sort of phenolic spacer with an O-ringed groove in it, which also housed a nice slathering of RTV. This same person had also snapped a chunk off the edge of the spacer and pinched the O ring. Some people, I swear.

 Horrible brazing failure. Coolant transfer/heater pipe on a Kia Sportage. It just sort of...cracked right along the braze and a slight tug made it fall to bits.
