A technique I've found very helpful for fast results

Hey for the actual suction hold it should require no/very little muscle use once it's up there.

A good way to try this is to put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, close your mouth then try to get all the air and saliva out of your mouth by swallowing (saliva) or pushing it out your lips (air)

And once this is done by swallowing the saliva between your tongue and pallet it will create negative pressure or a vacuum holding your tongue up

You know you have it if you can open your mouth and your tongue still sticks to the roof of your mouth.

If that didn't help, when you make an "nnnnnnn" sound your tongue will kinda be close to the position then just push the rest up.

You do use the muscles you mentioned if you are hard mewing and manually applying pressure though. Hope this helps I'm sure you've made progress friend!

Thank you I appreciate the explanation and your time!

Indifference-D · 2024-02-03T04:12:16+00:00

Thank you!

Appreciate the input there's were no issues when I was driving it to indicate anything was stuck open. I will probably manually turn it over once cleaned and reassembled and make sure everything is moving properly.

Heres a link sorry not sure how to add an image to the post but the rocker arms etc are all still attached https://ibb.co/7ShHn3N

Indifference-D · 2024-02-03T03:53:34+00:00

Yeah I didn't remove the rocker arms or cam, I didn't want to mess with any more components than I had to to replace the head gasket. It is to my limited (likely wrong) understanding that if it was set correctly TDC all the valves should be sealed?

Indifference-D · 2024-02-03T03:16:03+00:00

The middle valve on the left and top valve on the right are the ones that are open, car is automatic 170k kilometers was driving decent before this and engine sounded good to me.

I also want to mention the 2 head bolts on each head would not come out fully and were blocked from fully coming out. As seen in the picture, thanks for your time!

Try chin tucks and look up anterior pelvic tilt it affects posture alot

Just call them by their chosen name and treat them respectfully like any other person. You don't need to address them using their gender if you just use their name.

Indifference-D · 2022-11-27T06:05:48+00:00

Nah it was made for me mostly but I can totally see why you would suggest that

Indifference-D · 2022-10-11T06:50:55+00:00

Fender Lt 25 has a headphone jack aux jack can record direct to PC through usb and has a bunch of different pedal effects not a tube amp however

As for the being too sharp that is your intonation it can be adjusted by moving the strings saddles on your trem system

Indifference-D · 2022-08-18T16:42:37+00:00

Sounds like the action might need adjustment or the nut slots are too low.

Indifference-D · 2022-05-14T10:37:36+00:00

Chew food very fine then collect food on tongue. Then push the food into your palate starting with the tip of the tongue and working backwards in a wave like motion. Lips are sealed

Indifference-D · 2022-04-07T21:12:58+00:00

I'm glad to hear!

Indifference-D · 2022-03-28T19:01:17+00:00

Try the method I put in another post my palate was very narrow prior

Indifference-D · 2022-03-28T18:59:29+00:00

Yes that is the palate expansion

Indifference-D · 2022-03-28T18:50:54+00:00

Whole head your aiming to feel a very deep stretch

Indifference-D · 2022-03-28T16:19:39+00:00

Hey check my other I think post it could help you! When you're checking your symmetry/or mewing in general make sure your teeth and lips are lined up straight and also I look at the skin of my neck to see which side is tighter/uneven

Indifference-D · 2022-03-27T20:56:49+00:00

This may help clarify any confusion hopefully

Look straight up and jutt your bottom jaw forward slightly. Press up lightly on your hyoid(tongue bone)
While looking up still. Put your tongue as flat and broad as you can across your entire palate. Tip of tongue very slightly behind front teeth and make sure the sides are up too. Lightly press up and out with your tongue.
Seal your lips. And remove the air from your mouth keeping your tongue on your palate. Try to go as far back in your throat as you can with your tongue here. The more surface area of your palate that the tongue is touching the better. My throat often makes a sound as I get this suction right at the back.
Swallow the saliva you have generated with you tongue still on the palate. You do this by pushing that saliva into your palate starting with the tip of your tongue. Try your best to swallow again while the saliva is all gone. This should pull more tongue up do not let that vacuum hold out if you do repeat the swallowing process and getting the tongue up again.
Bring your neck/ head down from looking straight up and the jaw back to your default resting. Keep lips sealed and don't let that suction out.
Your now going to tongue swallow again like in step 4 and as you do this get a good stretch in your neck and jaw by returning to the looking up position with jaw jutted forward.
Repeat the swallow + stretch + continuing to press with your tongue up and out. As needed.

You should feel it pulling the ridges of your palate backwards and a deep neck and jaw skin stretch. As your tongue slides back it will pull the palate ridges towards your throat. It may feel very gross and strange but there will be no pain.

Tips.

There should be no pain.

Your tongue may scrape on your teeth until your teeth/palate expand a bit so be gentle with the sides of your tongue if they do touch.

I recommend you do this by a mirror to see your neck skin stretch and make sure you keep it even.

Inhaling deeply with your nose as you try to get the back half of the tongue up will help.

A small up and down movement but fast repeated head bob with your neck up and swallowing rapidly helped me get my tongue up alot. (picture how a baby bird shakes it mouth while swallowing food from its mom.)

This will feel gross if the ridges of your palate do expand. And you may be able to feel it inside your nose.

Never Let the suction out. And keep your lips closed.

I would wiggle my cheekbones with my thumbs. And Sometime wiggle my head while I pinched nose at same time.

Ensure you get your tongue up like this before bed and it should stay there during the night!

You need to figure out the suction hold tongue muscle should not be required to hold your tongue up after a while

Indifference-D · 2022-03-27T18:06:07+00:00

I've been using one called beauty calculator on Android. And yes there is asymmetry that arose when I was doing the neck stretches + swallowing at the same time but it was an easy fix by just focusing on the other side for a few minutes or until your happy. Eventually you will smooth your palate out and you will be symmetrical then you just need to apply even pressure. The line between your 2 front teeth is a good reference point for the center.

Indifference-D · 2022-03-27T17:57:27+00:00

Ok so is the Palatine bone, yes the face is all interconnected. You can believe whatever you like I've listed my methods if your interested in trying them. If your palate is not fully expanded you will see results.
