I never ran into the issue in California but as soon as I came up to Seattle I've been seeing a large number of sensor failures due to corossion from the metal caps and moisture so there is definitely something to it. Mine twisted off just like that picture, too. Use plastic caps and the new TPMS sensor hardware kits even come with plastic caps to replace.

Quite frankly the pit scares the poo poo out of me, it's the first shop I've worked at with one and if you don't watch your step its a long, hard, corner filled way down. E: 10 bays total I believe.

My alignment specs after raising it 2" so the swingarm would stop chopping through the body were 9 degrees camber each side and 1.75 degrees toe in each side. Good times. My laptop poo poo the bed so I've only got my phone, any way to mobile upload a picture of an E30 shock that decided it'd rather punch through the fenderwell instead? And I caused a mechanical failur at work today.....mis pressed a u joint. Didn't know you can shoot needle bearings out the backside of the cap!

Mechanical failure in progress at the shop. Somehow someone grounded the battery to short on the brake hardline and the master cylinder is boiling over and the lines are glowing red. On standby with the extinguishers.

Boss diagnosed the Safari brake issue. Fault with the abs computer sent an electrical charge through the brake line somehow ( ) and when our tech disconnected the caliper it found new and interesting paths to ground, causing the abs computer and pump to eat itself alive and try to melt the hard lines. Got some pictures, gonna see how imgur mobile works out and try to get them uploaded.

This should work, its not cooperating with the other pictures for some reason. Cluck for huge. Man, todays been like one constant never ending kick to the nuts. And just when you think it's over you see the kicker for the Dolphins lining one up right between your goalposts, and from between gritted teeth you hear "laces out."

My dad had like a 30 year old paint can of some sort of industrial carb dip, I dunked one of my old carbs and it came out shiny new in about a minute. Got some on my hands and it seriously felt like I had poured boiling water all over them instantaneously. Wonder what it was.

Lowclock posted:I want to pop them like bubble wrap but I would probably get a steel belt in the face somehow. I did this to a car tire much similar to that but the entire tire was bulged out to twice its size, no individual bubbles. I figured I'd lean back and poke it real quick with a ream, and the entire sidewall let go much like a soap bubble popping. It pretty neatly knocked me onto my rear end. Front shop came running out thinking something exploded.

Volkswagen, I don't think we can be friends any more. I mean sure, we used to hang out all the time and have  adventures all the time, but come on bro. I looked the other way all those times you said all those painfully uncomfortable things about my mom, because hey what's a good joke between friends, right? And that time Steve told me he caught you checking out furaffinity at work. Look, I won't judge, we all have our kinks. But then you linked me to your Bad Dragon testimonial video. And showed the world not only your shocking lack of shame and decency, but your lovingly crafted hand made double appendaged "personal aide."With a picture of me haphazardly glued to it. I....I'll always remember the good times man  2000 Passat came in with a left front upper forward (  ) ball joint bad. Went to remove the bolt holding them in and it wouldn't come out. So we tried soaking it in penetrant. No dice. Tried hammering it. Nope. Tried air hammering it. Hah I wish. Induction heated till it was glowing hot. Bent me over and asked for more. So we had to do whatever it took. Which involved dropping the strut, pulling the hub off, and all this bullshit. Sure would have been nice to just unbolt the arms but no, that'd be too easy.  gently caress you, man. We used to be cool.  Oh did I mention the tie rod bolt was the same poo poo so I wound up unthreading it apart rather than deal with all this poo poo.  Behold, what originally was supposed to be a 1 hour job, 3 days later after everything had been approved.

Yeah that's what eventually got it out. It's also what bent it over in the first place. I couldn't get it to come out in the car after repeated attempts but for whatever reason after I had that poo poo all removed and clamped in a vice it finally decided to cooperate.

In all seriousness do you know of any way to get ahold of a blown out headgasket like that for some wall art? Do any teams sell parts? I've seen a couple NHRA castoff odds and ends on ebay and the like but nothing nice and easy to hang like that head gasket.

kastein posted:Unless you specifically want one from a funny car it's pretty easy, wait till you blow one (alright maybe easier in some vehicles than others...) and then hang it on the wall. I had the rear head gasket out of my M54A2 on the wall in my cube at Intel, it was a pretty good conversation starter. I do want one from a funny car, I've been making a collection of the head gaskets pulled out at work and so far have Subaru and Jeep covered
