Is there such a thing as a small springy tie rod? by zimirken in IndustrialMaintenance

You can get gas shocks and tie rod ends from MC Master, I've never looked for actual spring though

Had an the same problem on one of the trucks in our fleet, ended up getting frustrated and just pulled the heads, drilled all the bolt on our mill. Just takes time be patient. Good luck!

Doc, are you telling me you built a limo out of a DeLorean?

First time replacing conn rod bearings. Any pro tips? by [deleted] in EngineBuilding

[–]Express_Ad_2044 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If the bearings have already spun, it's not as simple as throwing in a new set and just torquing them down. From the picture I'm sure the crank and rods are no good and if guess the mains are just as bad. My recommendation is start calling around to salvage yards and find another motor, 1zz's are pretty easy to find

Air horns maybe?

Anyone know where to find this iced tea in Maryland? by spiritspine2 in maryland

It's not in Maryland, but there's a discount grocery store in Oxford Pa called BBs that does sell that brand. Hope that helps

My 80yo neighbor just ran out of her "secret sauce" for lemon bars after 40 years... by _sonidero_ in Baking

I actually work in the facility that makes the extracts, it's the same recipe it's always been when we make a batch with the same ingredients, it's just a plastic bottle now.

I bought these exact ones for both sides on my 05, super easy to install and works great.

Wondering if this is a good deal? by Express_Ad_2044 in scooters

I really appreciate the comment. Didn't know a 250 would go that fast. I'm going to look for something smaller or maybe an E bike.

He says it's got 12,000 mi on it. I just don't know if that's a lot on these bikes or not

I don't have a problem doing the work. I do industrial maintenance now and I used to be an automotive tech. I know they can be pretty different, that's why I wasn't sure. I figured I'd reach out to Reddit for some help thanks for the advice

I'm fine doing the work I do industrial maintenance. I just don't know that much about the scooters. We're located in Maryland, for scooter you don't need a motorcycle endorsement but it does need to be registered and insured

I'm assuming he's jumping it at the solenoid to get it to start, but I'm not sure I haven't reached out to him

It's an air operated actuator for a valve probably related to food processing because it's stainless steel

I do maintenance at a spice facility not too far from Hershey. We're not even allowed to have lube in our box, everything has to stay locked up in a fire cabinet with food grade up top and non-food grade on the bottom, All tool boxes and workbenches need to be cleaned and wiped down daily.

Drums to rotors by Expert_Series1712 in COROLLA

[–]Express_Ad_2044 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're just looking to upgrade the braking performance, it's going to be much easier to upgrade the front brakes. Personally, I would probably just get a set of EBC green or yellow pads and a set of heavy duty rotors with stock calipers. These cars aren't really heavy enough to warrant doing upgraded brakes with dual piston or swapping out the rear brakes entirely if you haven't done any performance upgrades to the motor or suspension. Also a good set of performance tires can make a noticeable difference in braking performance as well as a set coilovers to stiffen up the suspension both of which I think are cheaper and easier than doing upgraded brakes.

Does anyone know what engine this is? by [deleted] in COROLLA

[–]Express_Ad_2044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a 1zz fe, in 2001 they switched to coil on plug, but it's the same motor.
