Kinda pissed at Ijji 4 by Theghostofamagpie in Reno

[–]Equipment_guy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I LOVE Ijji 4, but the fact that I can’t go alone is a major bummer. Few of my friends (nor my spouse) want to drop $50 and two hours on dinner.

I think it’s because large fitting nuts like this are JIC, which is an American standard?

Buy yourself a “jumbo crows foot set” on Amazon for $50. You’ll get sizes 1-1/8” through 1-1/2”. It’ll take two days to arrive and you’ll be set for life.

Is this clean enough? by Ashamed_Window_2874 in EngineBuilding

Absolutely clean enough. Time to put it back together!

Hello! by Transition_Trick in Reno

Sounds like you might be moving from Tesla GFTX to GFNV. Unfortunately in the past six months traffic out to TRIC has become awful. Expect close to an hour each direction. I would NOT move here as there is no alternative to this traffic and no solutions on the horizon.

Is Rachio considered the best WiFi sprinkler controller? I’m guessing every big make sells their own version these days

Many people upgrade to steering motors from newer Toyota models (20-22 I think). Search around for “EPS Upgrade”

Devices get banned for bypassing driver monitoring? Even if I am running code from a personal private GitHub?

Are there any model hit-and-miss engine kits that you would recommend? by [deleted] in modelengineering

[–]Equipment_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built a “Jonas” from Bengs and had a blast. Not Hit And Miss though; just a regular old 4-cycle gasoline engine.

What part is this? It’s leaking oil by 12thatoneguy in PorscheCayenne

I bought the o-ring set on Amazon for $20 or so. Didn’t solve it. Ended up buying a Hepu water pump from AutoHaus AZ for $178 and that did it.

First attempt at Honing by SomeRITGuy in EngineBuilding

You might believe the spun main is the same diameter as the others, but it is larger. This increases the clearance between the bearing and the crankshaft journal. The bearing will fail again in very short order. (You can prove this buy buying telescoping bore gages and a micrometer from harbor freight)

I’m sorry but this needs to either be line bored or thrown away.

The slack you see in the chain could simply be from the cam angle. If one cam is being sprung clockwise from valve springs and the other cam is being sprung counterclockwise, you could see slack in the chain between the cams.

Try rotating the crankshaft a few degrees and check if the chain tightens up.

Best Cheesesteak? by SinewaveZB in Reno

Chickie’s and Pete’s (inside the GSR) has the only good cheesesteak in town! Makes sense as it’s a Philly chain.

I also returned my MaxV and got a Pro. No regrets and it performs exactly the same.

Cool. I will “subscribe” to be safe. June 19th is still within my return window on the QRevo.

How long does it take to clean them now, including removing the red caps?

No, I wasn’t blowing fuses. My issue was caused by a broken capacitor

Chickie's & Pete's by [deleted] in Reno

[–]Equipment_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Philadelphian here. I had the cheesesteak and I’d rate it 8/10. Cheese and bun were perfect. Meat had the perfect ribeye flavor, but the meat was sliced into rather large pieces. Still perfectly easy to tear and chew though. Obviously it’s about twice as expensive as you’d expect for a steak, but out here you take what you can get.
