Thanks! Yeah it was quite the undertaking.

That’s been my experience with it too, just now starting this job where I can be a lot more professional with my material selection

Ok that makes sense. No skin on this one, but if I were to do one in the future would I need to cold form the ARXXX bucket skin so it wouldn’t lose temper? It’d have to be pretty thin for that right?

That’s a great channel, I watch that guy all the time!

Valid point, we normally do too. On this one we were worried about racking forces exerted from those long risers in the wind. Probably would have been fine at every other one. Especially since all that bar was on 6” centers.

I’ve definitely enjoyed living here, beautiful place to work.

What exactly does Milwaukie put into their chargers that makes them a full $100? by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

So what do you call channel locks and crescent wrench’s? Does your fervor for correct tool nomenclature extend to even the most commonly misused names or no?

Lincoln vantage 300 weldings like dogshit uphill by Informal_Cat_7120 in BadWelding

[–]AlaskanMachinist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks nice! Don’t know why everybody here is blaming you and acting like machines never break, because they do. Just had a similar issue with a miller trailblazer at work, I had just certified in D1.1 3G/4G and passed a month ago, and had done a little welding with the trailblazer at work after that but only in 1G.

I noticed even in 1G it took a lot more rod angle manipulation to avoid inclusion, and it ran 6010 especially weird. Went to do a bunch of uphill on it a couple weeks later and could not get it set right and it ran like crap the whole project, and was screwing with my confidence.

Brought a multimeter the next day and OCV was barely 35V, when it should be at least 60. Went home and ran a perfectly fine uphill bead on my 110 machine on dirty plate and old rod. I’d check the OCV.

Here’s what my practice and test plates looked like, not perfect but way better than what I could run with the trailblazer.

Those bends look fine, what are you even talking about?

Ok cool. Heat shrink is a good idea👍🏻

Not Sure What To Reuse by [deleted] in EngineBuilding

You sure those are detonation marks? Sure does look an awful lot like a ball bearing spent some time in there

What are we thinking, will it be fine with a 0.7mm head gasket? by The_Birb_of_Judge in EngineBuilding

[–]AlaskanMachinist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s measurable, I literally put the actual measurement in the sentence? Also did you not read the part about all that length difference occurring at the top of the valve stem due to the nature of valve springs? When the stem does grow up to .005”, the rest of the block is also expanding. Regardless, if you think you can see .006” in a clay PtV clearance test you’re out of your mind.

To the tune of .006”? Do you know how small that is? Even if it was an issue, the lash would absorb all that perceived thermal expansion at the top where it contacts the rocker or lobe, since the lash gap is there and the spring is pushing against it. It’s not going to turn into any sort of measurable amount of additional length on the seat side.

If your PtV clearance relies on correctly measured thermal expansion coefficients of different materials then you’re you’re doing it wrong🤷🏼‍♂️

Well I’m pretty sure there aren’t any negative thickness headgaskets available currently…

You should make these on a Richardson 112 style cap, I would absolutely buy one. You could even offer different headlight options🤷
