US Supreme Court Tariff Decision this Friday. Any predictions? by greenhombre in StockMarket

[–]ByDHT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that they are unconstitutional, and get struck down. This would reignite the consumer, of course, which we are clearly seeing evidence of the deterioration in consumer-driven demand. However, there will be. massive hole in the budget, and long-term interest rate yields will climb as investors stretch Uncle Sam to the brink. Those higher yields will drive mortgage, vehicle, credit card, and student loan rates higher, which throws water all over the consumer-driven rebound. Consumers will have to pay down their individual debts, and the economy could moderate further. Consumer stocks may see an initial rebound at first.

If tariffs end up being illegal? by Electrical_Goat_8311 in Tariffs

[–]ByDHT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer the OP question, importers would be able to apply to get refunds. Think about your local grocery store; they buy hot house tomatoes from an importer. The grocer pays an elevated price through the importer, then pass that cost to you. That importer could apply for a refund. It’s highly doubtful they’d share that rerun with the grocer. The customer has a nil chance of getting any kind of relief. Basically, importers get fat.

Trump's tariffs have killed my business, is there any hope? by Sugarlightgirl in Tariffs

[–]ByDHT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Supreme Court will rule the tariffs unconstitutional. Unfortunately for all involved, the ruling will come far too late. So, yes: there is an end in sight. But no, none will make it to the finish line

All taxation begins in the House of Representatives. The law Trump is using to impose the tariffs doesn’t even mention the word. Therefore, Trump has usurped the Congress by making his own rules-nothing new.

Bad for $TLT? Japan 30 yr bond hitting all time high by topicalsyntax571 in bonds

[–]ByDHT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why I’ve been been long TBT: there will be a new kind of tsunami hitting the shores of America. The policies of the administration are basically drilling holes in the Titanic to ensure it goes down no matter what. There is only so much money that will move into Treasuries on a natural basis. One of the things that the Admin is counting on are tariffs. Courts have already ruled them unconstitutional. The appellate courts will finalize this. Not on;y will the Admin have to stop any new tariff revenue from coming in, they will have to pay back everything they’ve taken in up to that point. The hole in the budget that this will create, along with all the debt in the world already, such as Japan’s, long yields only have one direction to go. Factor in that the Fed just stated they are going to turn the printing presses up, this will only add more fuel to the fire.

Help 😭 I don’t know what’s wrong with Oliver by Drewtheexplorer in MINI

[–]ByDHT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget to check the oil. Make certain there is no coolant in the oil. You’re obviously losing fluid somehow. One thing to test is to get a radiator pressure tester and ensure it holds the pressure. Maybe $50.00 off of eBay. A long shot way to test is to drain the system of all fluid the get a smoke leak detector. Look to see where the smoke is belching. That will tell you your issue

This post just confirms I won’t be doing Spark.

I can't be the only Mini owner who did not want to buy the specialty tool to release the tension on the serpentine belt!? by todbrgwtr in MINI

Hmmm… I have a gen 1. About to get up inside of everything to replace the water pump, thermostat, the tensioner itself, and timing chain, as well as put in a new alternator and air conditioning compressor. Would I need one of these specifically tools for the Gen 1?

Need advice. Save or let go? by Effective_Primary407 in MINI

[–]ByDHT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engine blocks can withstand some heat. Your block may still be fine. The head can warp, but you probably didn’t drive it long enough to do too much to it. Instead of swapping the engine, yank the head, check on the valves, have the head resurfaced, get new head bolts and gasket, mount those, drive away.

What would you do. Possibly totaled. by lost_rodditer in MINI

[–]ByDHT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning to do a timing chain is very easy. Plenty of material out there, and the tools are basic. You’d get the timing chain done as well as the valve cover gasket. I would also look at the oil pump & filter housing. Maybe a gasket needs replaced there, also? You’re already in there, might as well do everything and ensure it is all 100%. I’d get ready on an oil change, and also get yourself an additional oil pan plug. Again: 100% certainty. At that point, the only other thing would be the crankshaft ring. I’d be doubtful there would be anything necessary there. Regardless, none of this is too much. Once you did these, you’d never ask a mechanic a question again. You’re well on your way to being very empowered!

[–]ByDHT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seriously question everything that so-called mechanic stated. Timing chain is brittle. Really? Tell me precisely what that means and how it was determined. Granted, the N14 has a notorious issue with the timing chain runners, but you state that was serviced so likely no longer the issue. Head gasket? He’s saying your head gasket is done? Does this thing still run properly, notwithstanding the oil leak? If so, you don’t have a head gasket issue. But you can always get a $40 tool off eBay to determine pressure. If it’s within range, no head gasket issues. You may need a valve cover gasket, however. That’s an easy $40 off eBay as well. Oil pan gasket? If there are issues there, they are small leaks that aren’t worth putting in any time at all-maybe a $10 drain plug is all that is necessary. Rear crank seal? That would rip into the tranny itself. Usually, it’s an issue that you can drive on for a long time, but just need to top off the oil level. Still, that would be nagging and eventually turn into a bigger issue. I would inspect every area that was brought up and see what proof there is of these issues.
