Talk About Anything Thread V4

I was looking at a ad for a starter cylinoid on ebay and at the bottom it had a warning, may cause cancer and reproductive harm, wtf how can a cylinoid cause cancer and reproductive harm, then I looked at the source, it was a California gov website, I swear everything seams to cause cancer or reproductive harm in California, I told my brother that if the U.S. was ever attacked the only state left alone would be California because the attacking army would be afraid of getting cancer

Lol, yeah straws probably cause cancer too. Commiefornia is always good for some laughs.

another one I liked was on the box for a castle creations esc and brushless motor combo I bought for one of my rc cars, it said warning harmful or fatal if swallowed, now I don't know about anyone else, but I would find it extremely difficult to swallow an electric motor over 2 inches thick and close to 3 long or the esc which is a 2in by 2 in plastic and metal box, plus it would just be stupid to stick either in your mouth to begin with

Warnings like that may seem dumb, but really the manufacturer is just trying to cover their own behind. If someome bought their product and something were to happen, they company would probably be dealing with a lawsuit even if it was the persons own fault. However if there's a warning the company can't be help responsible.

@darkside0914 , the msts are oil filled, and have a rubber plug near the shifter on the case top, they also have a nice curvy bottom (pun slightly intended) whereas the 930s are mostly flat on the bottom case.

i'm going to have to take a better look at them, one was greased filled, the one a think is a 930, the other one had oil, but I think they both have a rubber plug by the shifter

One funny warning, on the back of valve lapping compound. "Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Do not swallow. If swallowed, call" some number

Just change the cap and rotor they said..... it'll be an easy job they said....



Miserable process, hahaha.

What's that on AK

'94 Dodge that came in for a tune up. Just did the distributor cap, rotor, and plugs. As you can see the cap was NOT easy to get to at all, LOL. Thought I'd post a picture cuz it's actually sorta funny.

Fix to all those problems: don't buy a Dodge.

If you think it's any different on any other vehicles made in the last like 20 years, you're in for a big surprise!

What I'm getting at is if it wasn't a Dodge it wouldn't need work.

Haha, I'm not too sure about that one buddy.

Haha, I am sure about that one dude.

It's all a matter of how you take care of them... 

So, Kal's engine I started with is now in it's happy new home. It's going to work and working well now.  Not sure If I mentioned, but my power issues turned out to be a broken pulse line for the fuel pump.  It still weeps a little oil, but my dad does not mind.  He is a bit impressed with the Opposed.  He has gone through 3 engines in his MTD.  First v-twin caught fire and burned up.  He was able to save the tractor.  The following 2 v-twins threw rods after one season of mowing.  He mentioned the Opposed never bogged down in the thick high grass.

I put sides on my barrel sled yesterday and hauled around some scrap.

You're killing me Carl! Walk away for an hour to return to a couple dozen new posts. LOL!

I had to get caught up man!  There's been some cool build updates in the last week and a half.

Bummer was the "new" notification on the threads disappeared even though I didn't look at them, I hate it when this happens and I have no idea why it does, so I have to look at the dates on the threads to know which ones to check out

I think the provider did an update sometime in the past few weeks. I have to turn on web version now every time I look with my phone.

Wow. Nice fresh look! Same thing on my phone too mighty, bit has been doin that for a month or so for me.

To the top dawgs (aka mods) my welder went fully out so my build off projects have been at a standstill for awhile, but if everything goes right I will have a better welder soon. I have been working on stuff here and there that does not require welds that bond metal.

As for dodge and Ford, they both good, heck they all good, but they all have faults, as in my truck has everything tucked under the intake, thats bolted on top of the engine, over the exhuast manifold, that leaks, the parts to fix it are 150 bucks, but you have to remove the entire top of the engine down to the valves, just to replace it. learn what ya talking about before ya talk it as truth.

Sorry to hear bout yer welder bigg! Hope you can figure something out.

First day of open season, got an 8 point, brought that deer home with my deere

NICE!!!!

Looks good, how's he taste?
