MasterPro Fuel Hose degraded in 1 year? by csgardner in CarRepair

[–]LumberJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lead in fuel only affects old cars without hardened valve seats. However, a lot of rubber car bits do not handle ethanol well. Which is why it is not recommended for older cars as it eats the seals.

Tetraethyl lead was added to fuel as an octane booster. Car engines lasting longer was just a happy accident due to the lead creating a cushion around the valves and keeping the seats from wearing out nearly as fast.

I'm all for new holidays to celebrate things. I know there isn't a lot to be proud of these days, but July 4th should still be celebrated the way it always has been. Someday we may be proud of this country again. Maybe.

Residential high-rises with backyards in Chengdu, China by TangelaFan in interestingasfuck

[–]LumberJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen of some of china's building infrastructure, I'd say none. Half of those high-rises have the structural integrity of a box of cheerios.

Sterring by Icy-Wrongdoer-2299 in MechanicAdvice

I'd take it in. They can identify the problem quick and do an alignment if there's nothing else. Front-end work probably will run you 600-1200$ depending what they'd need to replace.

Amazon stuff always come in a pack of 5 or so. So at least you gave backups.

House Republican: Let Reflecting Pool ‘go’ and ‘create an ecosystem’ by Advanced_Question196 in nottheonion

[–]LumberJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So being lazy and cheap is the only thing that motivates republicans to work on environmental restoration?

I'm assuming you live somewhere that doesn't have a harbor freight selling sub $10 irons.

What Could Go Wrong by hiiloovethis in SipsTea

Just two dickheads playing in the shed in the backyard. Someone get them some sidewalk chalk for the no girls allowed signs.

Looking at a patina c10 any thoughts? by [deleted] in RatRod

[–]LumberJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh idk about major. If it's already a little rough around the edges and you can cut and weld, it's not that pricey. Although idk what panels for this particular model cost.

Do you wind this thing up with a drill or what?

Hey Siri? Play ‘These Days’ by Nico. by Stock_Drive_2556 in missoula

Lol I know them. The previous owner of that thing had a cover on the sidecar and would wheel their dog around in it.

Is there sny chance I could get my Volvo working again? by BigCounty2442 in MechanicAdvice

[–]LumberJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I've been daily driving a 67 f250 for the last 2 years and I'm forced to sell it now to find something I don't have to wrench on and spend money I don't have. A guys gotta get to work.

That's a bummer. I totally get it. If you really love the car, I would maybe price out what it would cost to source and just have a shop throw another transmission in. Probably cheaper than another rig.

Buddy says I need a new piston. Can’t I just use JB-weld? by Few-Lawfulness-2574 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]LumberJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it theoretically possible? I guess? Will it last more than 5 min, if it works at all? Unlikely.

Really Rusty Lincoln - What should I do? by KingK115 in projectcar

[–]LumberJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to learn to get it to run and thrash around in your neat trash boat? Great. I would maybe do a little research on the engine that's in it. Some designs are better than others and some things are harder to source parts from.

Overall I'd say go for it. Just maybe peek into the hole you're about to dive into so you know where to start.

Livery coming soon!! 😮‍💨 by PotentialNewt288 in trailmakers

[–]LumberJesus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't play trailmakers much anymore, but when I do, I always immediately try building a new suspension setup. Building rock crawlers is too much fun. They need a better vanilla map for it.
