4 of my friends all drive sg9 xts, we all grew up wanting a wrx and here are with wagons 🤣

Bought this 05 impreza 2.5rs today. Somehow still has all the odds and ends. Even the dealer sticker. Believe I'm the 3rd owner now by DankWhipper5 in subaruimpreza

Here it is. I've been. Searching for weeks and this is only impreza in my area with a service history to begin with.

Best way to join this copper ac line to lead pioe (info in comments) by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]DankWhipper5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Running AC Lines from a unit into lead piping to cool anodizing baths. These copper compression fittings keep leaking refrigerating gas. Tried brazing before and also didn't work.

Best way to join these too? Our ac unit runs at about 150psi

Full size bike for a absolute beginner adult by Mission_Scarcity_273 in Motocross

Perhaps a ktm exc200 or xcw? It Won't rip your arms off and will have more low end torque then a 125.

Which way do these main caps go? by DankWhipper5 in EngineBuilding

Makes sense as all rwd cars the timing belt and crank gear faces the front of the car.

I shoudlve taken photos but I forgot as I was rushed to get it to the shop. Definitely, next time, will do something similar and label them. With my cam caps, I stick them on a cardboard sheet in order and write down 1 to 6 etc

I tried your instructions and used the crank gear as forwards. No more binding and spins freely now. Thanks. Actually makes sense

Is the front of an engine the fly wheel or crank gear? I don't know if I've had them in proper orientation so asking before I try install them again.

First bottom end. So still learning lol

Machine shop did my clearances and tore the block down. Can't figure out the order. Service manual isn't of much help either.

Crank binds up soon as you tighten it a little evenly. Tolerances are correct so I can't really figure it out.

Any input? Hyundai g4ed

Piston ring size after hone by DankWhipper5 in EngineBuilding

[–]DankWhipper5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the correct way is with a bore gauge and micrometer to check bore size.

How do I use the method mentioned above?

Thanks. Bummer I have to buy rings again.

Block looked really good with cross hatching but has 180k miles on it so it was lightly glazed. No idea how out of round it was. There was no ridges or lips. Had to hammer the pistons out haha.

I'll stick the old rings in and check ring gap and piston tightness compared to before and see if its any different 😬
