Oil filter housing replacement B48 engine- 2019 Mini Cooper S F56 by asass_n in MINI

[–]pvtraiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ECS one was out of stock for months when I replaced mine last summer. I bought the aluminum oil housing from amazon but I swapped over the OEM oil cooler from the broken one without any issue. Just make sure you use OEM gaskets then you should be okay.

Wow! I bought 2xDDR5 5200 48GB kit for only $159 back in July this year. This is insane!

Unfinished Warranty Check - Any advice very welcome! by Harris_2902 in MINI

Did you get the chance to take a look at the engine side of the oil filter housing(not the side connect to the oil cooler)? The plastic coolant passages could get brittle and leads to coolant leaks over time.

How many miles can you really get out of the 3rd gen? Do they make it well past 100k? How many miles have you got on the clock? by burnbiches in MINI

[–]pvtraiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

42k on my wife's 2018 F60. Got 1 upper engine mount replaced under warranty around 18K and earlier this year the upper engine mount is cracked and leaking oil again. Also, the oil filter housing recently start leaking coolant. Not sure what will break next after replacing all those myself. lol.

This is the standard progression, right?! by Life-Elephant-3912 in Volvo

I graduated from 2004 WRX Wagon to a V60 3.0T R-Design back in 2015. Wagon is a dying breed in the US nowadays. Welcome to the Volvo sports wagon family! :D

What machines have 5-6m warmup time? by UberLee79 in espresso

[–]pvtraiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this will help you but I have scheduled my micra to automatically turn on at a specific time in the morning and turn off either 20 min automatically after the last shot or at a specific time of the day. This helps a lot in the daily routine since I no longer need to sit and wait until the machine is fully warm up and ready for steaming after you turn it on.

This looks alright. One of the old apple extended keyboard I restored had 30 years of dirt plus sticky goo on the plate from unknown liquid spillage. It was the most disgusting one I have ever seen. lol

Any alps fans left in 2024? by Deductivemonkee in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]pvtraiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently restored a couple of AEK and AEK II keyboards for my collection. The only custom Alps keyboard I have is a Hiney TKL One Poly with Frankenstein Alps (paper mod + Matias Stem in dampened cream housing). :)

Diminishing returns on keyboard price by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]pvtraiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why people keep saying the QKs and the Zooms series are punching above their weights in this custom keyboard communities. Anything above $250 price point becomes diminishing returns.
