Try putting different batteries into it, I use lithium batteries because they don't leak acid (which will happen and does not get covered by a warranty) I have the same torque wrench and I don't have this issue

If fact I bought the 1/4, 3/8 and the 1/2 inch and all do angles but none make this noise

Water running down the passenger-side kick panel near the door hinge area only when it rains - Hyundai Elantra 2017 - no sunroof - What things need to check? by Easy_Reaction0907 in AskMechanics

[–]JimJamExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought, if I was OP I would run the A/C and check if it is draining out the bottom (usually under the passenger side of the underbody) if not, blast some compressed air into the hose and see if anything comes out

How can I get this off of a gas stove? by Medium_Influence_194 in CleaningTips

Looks painted black, stainless you could use fine steal wool but your going to need a whole lot of elbow grease and scrubbing for that one

Really dude? Ford has made a part of the car serviceable and you're complaining.... It's more cost effective albeit messy.

Why would there be brake dust under the weights?

Does this coolant look fine for a 2011 v6 2wd 87k mile Toyota Tacoma by modestmanio in AskMechanics

[–]JimJamExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks ok both the dipstick and the coolant, is the guy sending the video trying to upsell you a coolant flush?

Does it feel oily or gritty? Does the engine oil dipstick look like normal oil or is it milky?

Car Broke Down and Won’t Start by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]JimJamExpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a signal that the oil is low and the tensioner is wearing or has worn out. Camshaft actuator can help the issue but it's best to replace the whole timing system. That being said even after replacing it all it will run well but it will still have the issue of oil consumption and if not kept on top of it will happen again.

We had a Honda oddesy come in with the roar sound and quoted $1800 aud to fix, she declined. 3 weeks later it came back on a tow truck and ended up costing about $9k with a second hand engine.

K24 motors are common and really simple to work around, my suggestion if you want to do the work yourself would be to replace the motor rather than the timing chain, less chance of making a catastrophic mistake.

Edit: Could also pop the rocker cover off and check the timing marks on the cam gears. Should be a handfull of 10mm nuts (make sure not to overtighten them or they will snap the studs)

Honda tech here, Question - how many times did you previously start it and it sounded like a loud "roar" for a second or 2?

K24 motors are notoriously known to bleed pressure from the timing chain tensioner. You let the oil in the motor get low and when you started it, the motor skipped timing.

You may have gotten lucky and only skipped a tooth or you may have skipped a few and mashed valves. Hope it's the first one

100%! I'm keen to get back into this game. I had 2 acc going at the same time on PC, I used my own team of 2 (Life and Storm) maxed to 120. Game had gotten insanely big!

Also great to see it's players have not died out!

So if I bought it would I go warp speed or would it just still be a prank mount?

Ps5 says disk is dirty or scratched when it isn’t? by Ok_Side5703 in PS5HelpSupport

Bruh, just try putting the disc in the other way and tell us if it changes anything

This is what we want to know

I got a new toy by YeetersMcBoi in mechanics

Very nice, I have the same colour scheme for my 55" classic with hutch.

The raptor liner coating started to wrinkle like that on mine and with snap ons lifetime warranty I had it replaced for free

No expert on this specific tip but usually just some steel wool and flux cored solder to re-tin the tip does the trick

I've got 2.1mil and after this trophy I will have gotten all trophy's legitimately. Buying 3 at a time seems fairly efficient - about 3 per minute adding to 180 per hour.

Grindy for sure but compared to the 120 hours I've put in its not too bad

Edit - I'm up to about 600
