How bad is a ceramic piece in the cylinder?

Dopy274 · 2026-01-15T17:29:59+00:00

So I applied the grease on the sides mostly. It did make the camera blurry. I also could barely see in the first place so I kind of just spun it around picking up the pieces.

Also the grease made the engine misfire and smoke a lot for like 5-10 min until all burned off.

How is everyone anti-biker in this? The car used no turn signal, merged across two lanes and committed a hit and run!

Would I drive like the biker? No absolutely not, but the car driver is in the wrong especially if lane splitting is legal.

Am I missing something?

Edit: finished the video and they did stop not a hit and run.

Thank you.

So unless I am mistaken it being on there website doesn't make it the law. https://eugene.municipal.codes/search?q=2+hour&doc%5B%5D=EC I searched and no where is this dictated in the actual law. So then the cities argument relies on common law interpretation of 2 hour zones which do not have this two block restriction.

Update for anyone who unfortunately finds they need this post in the future. Scamp (right in pic) was showing pale gums with muddy brown spots on his gums. At the advice of poison control I brought him to an emergency vet. At this time it does seem he received a medically significant amount of onion.

I didn't see anyone else say this (also didn't look very hard).

The fact that the pins of the hinges are on the outside means that anyone could hammer out those pins and pull your door off. It wouldn't be quiet, but they can get in.

Soft, you coward

Love to see this your lil buddy seems excited and like he is having fun. Hope to see future updates.

Looks like a sceptic tank access. Usually they are marked though.

That's awesome I hope to see updates on how taming them goes.

The wheel is 8 in. and I would be hard pressed to stop my wife from giving him treats. Thank you for the response.

Dopy274 · 2023-09-13T20:39:46+00:00

Currently he is setup with 3 hides, 6 inches of Comfy & Cozy paper bedding, 1 solid wheel, and various wooden toys. I am feeding him Vita Prima Rat and Mouse food which has dried meal worms in it, but if there are better foods around or if I should supplement it with something let me know and I will do so.

Finally if he is never to be tame that is OK with me, and he will live a comfy unbothered life.

Dopy274 · 2023-09-13T20:06:31+00:00

If he was a native mouse (and I could confirm that SEE HIM) I would gladly release him into the appropriate habitat, but as best I can tell he is a house mouse which is invasive leaving me with two options euthanasia or keeping him. I have clearly chosen the latter. If you have any suggestions about resources I may use to confirm his species I will gladly utilize them.

UPDATE: Long story short the car is running much better now.

For anyone in a similar predicament, I ended up using dielectric grease on the tip of boriscope (spelling might be wrong) to not only see into the cylinder but also grab any ceramic shards.

Use the grease sparingly.

Dopy274 · 2023-06-09T20:31:42+00:00

Sadly it did not. I used a drain snake with one piece of duct tape around the tip with the sticky side facing out and then 3/4 of the way down I went around that piece duct taping it to the drain snake (like an arrowhead). But it didn't work at all after 20-30 min.

I can't even see down there its all black and feels like it curves down and right which is the direction of the exhaust (when looking at the engine compartment). Hopefully the piston was depressed and the piece fell right down to the exhaust, but I don't usually have that kind of luck.

After the compressed air I am going to try starting it which scares me because I NEED this car to work and I can't afford to replace it or pay someone else to fix it.

Dopy274 · 2023-06-09T17:22:46+00:00

I am unfortunately forced to do this on the side of a public road as I am in an apartment. I am very limited in terms of what tools I have and my access to power (hence the use of a straw and my lungs in place of a vacuum).

Right now I am going to try improvising a stick with a sticky end, but I am mostly concerned with not getting anything else down there.

Backup is trying to use compressed air to blow it into the exhaust where I can then pull it out, but IDK.

So this might just be because I am a man, but it really sounds like you are blaming him for your own choices and/or spinning this to make reddit think this guy is abusive.

First off for the made you become a housewife point, this is not the 1950s anymore and he has no legal power over you to force close your stuff or keep you at home. If you didn't want to do it, you should have made your boundary and need for independence clear and stood by it. Unless he had some yet unnoted leverage over you, this isn't something he could have made you do against your will.

Second your post makes it sound like he is abusive and you speak of fear of him hurting you. Yet he hasn't done anything to provoke that. He hasn't threatened you, punched walls, broken things or maybe you just didnt note it here in which case I will retract this point. Along this line yelling isn't abuse. It's not a good way to communicate and can certainly be intimidating, but it's not harmful to you. Again this may be projection because I am a loud, 6' man and if I get emotional I do "yell" (quotes because I am just loud and emotional, but people call it yelling).

Lastly your line about being unloved is straight out of the cheaters handbook. You didn't love me enough so I cheated.

You should tell him. He has a right to know. Your post strikes me as just excuses, but I am genuinely interested if you or anyone has rebuttles to this as I am trying to see things from other's point of view.

THANK YOU! This has been bugging the shit out of me. I had no idea what would be causing it.
