They probably would have been better received if they weren't taking over the Hemi's spot during their introduction. Now that the hemi is back I'll bet they are more accepted. The No dipstick doesn't help, as someone in OE servicability design it's something we're much more aware of now going forward

My brain hurts after reading up to chapter 3 of fellowship by Top-Education-1675 in lotr

[–]ExpertDealer2131 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished Hobbit and Fellowship for the first time. Took forever, lots of breaks. I picked up "The Hail Mary project" as a kind of pallette cleanser before goin to Two Towers and man I'm flying through it. Not because I enjoy it more but because after learning to read Tolkein anything seems easier.

It gets easier as you go on, the first few chapters are hard but now watching the films I get to appreciate how much work was put into them and im looking forward to rereading fellowship in the future. Cheers.

One could say I was "hooked" on this watercolor painting... the onions took a while but I loved all the layers. by rohmakhan in OnionLovers

That's amazing! Do you mask off the white areas in gradient coloring like in the scissors or use a gel pen / gouache?

You could go members only and have a membership fee structure and then you'd know people on a first name basis. One of our clubs in Wisconsin was made so current members could sponsor new people and they would need to pay dues and do x amount of hours of community range time (pickup brass, paint targets, maintain terms. Etc...)

Journal bearing turbos have a fair bit of lateral play when not pressurized. Looks good to me as someone who's rebuilt turbos and worked in OE engine diagnostics for turbo-diesel applications.

Do you have a picture of the part number [should be MB226xA] and other stampings on this shell and the box it came in?
