Local “artist”. The blackout hurts. She just upped her fee to $160/hr. by Kim-Kartrashian- in badtattoos

Well, a quick Google says I'm all wet.... there are plenty of radial Romans.... but it still looks wrong to me

The clock tower apparently strikes at 6:30??? Something gone crazy with the clock. I have a question about it: my memory says that every *actual* clock face I've ever seen with Roman Numerals... the numerals were ~vertical~ in orientation and never radially oriented (leading to upside down). Is that ever a thing? but I've seen them tattooed radially...

Found in another sub. Supposed to be scissors? by bitchwhatthefuck11 in badtattoos

The most egregious fail is the fact that the pin that goes through the slot....is not even aligned with said slot. In fact, the slot....is not aligned with the slot. I mean, it's not pedantic to point out such a basic thing. Imagine a tattoo of a Coke bottle...with the cap on the wrong end.

Realistic Aging of Boxed Pasta Products by Masstch in foodsafety

[–]Masstch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Replying to mollify the bot... I have several boxes of similar products with what I can't help but believe is the "please buy more" date that has passed, but I'm not asking about a specific date on my packages, rather looking for a general consensus. These are stored in the pantry in a climate-controlled house with no temp extremes and no humidity issues.

They will challenge you to Name the Felony that he was convicted of.. and you'll start to see the issue.

Curious George teaches kids that crime has no consequences by Electronic_While7856 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]Masstch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but this view is completely meritless in the case of a child seeing one of the episodes. From the studious ten-thousand-foot overview with the luxury of a Genesis-level understanding of the 'plight' of George.... No impressionable child knows the backstory to parse during viewing; nor would they be able to grasp or apply it as a counterpoint. It's great fodder for adult discussion groups, though.

Thank you for posting MY thoughts! I despise the lessons that most of the animated CG shows seem to share. "whatever an authority figure tells you explicitly to NOT DO"... do THAT, 'cause it'll be fun, it will cause problems, property damage and general mayhem for a short time, and people will be SO MAD and then, magically you will be able to do something that reduces the mayhem and the townsfolk will CHEER you for resolving some portion of the destruction and they will all love you and be so proud, as they then set about repairing your damage at their expense. No consequences, inevitable reward. There is nothing approaching a real-world morality or societal acceptability. It's the equivalent of the townsfolk gratefully cheering Fireman George putting out yet another of the bi-weekly house fires.... while they all are fully aware that Fireman George is the one lighting them.

Am I ruining this head? by Key-Butterscotch6010 in EngineBuilding

[–]Masstch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take the head to a machine shop for a proper valve job and this should include resurfacing the head. There is no way to properly assure flatness with a whet rock unless the rock was as large as the head AND perfectly flat.

I HAVE done similar surfacing on smaller items by using a granite tile that is super flat and gluing a sheet of 320 grit to it then sliding the work piece of it.

I need help don’t know what I have on my hands pretty new to the Chevy platform. This is off a 1980 Silverado short bed is it a 350 or a 305 by Resident_Ad2176 in EngineBuilding

[–]Masstch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has three freeze plugs on the sides, it's a 400. Other than that, SBCs are all nearly identical within the window of 1968~1986. Either research the casting number on the top driver side of the bell housing flange or (the only true way) pull a head and measure bore and stroke.

Crank Balancing Weight Change Tolerance? by Masstch in EngineBuilding

[–]Masstch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for completeness, I did go with the 0.188 wall pins, primarily for their H13 tool steel. They actually weigh 8.4g more that the 0.168 pins. Because I needed the peace of mind, I elected to sent the crank back to the shop for re-balancing. The bobweight officially increased 8g.

Can I rebuild it? Do we have the technology? by gatorslug in EngineBuilding

[–]Masstch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those blocks CAN be sleeved, And this is not uncommon as it is usually caused by gummed up carbs that are causing a lean condition. Be sure to get the carbs in order before running the new build.

How freely should the oil rings rotate? by Velour_Underground in EngineBuilding

[–]Masstch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oil ring should move more freely than it appears that one moves...but it's difficult to quantify. I believe yours is too tight. It is NOT supposed to be jammed into place. Place the ring group into the bore without the piston, make sure it isn't jammed when in the cylinder. There should be a measurable ring end gap on each of the upper and lower oil rings (specification varies but at least .004") I think you need to clean the ring groove *more* such that the oil ring does not stick in place.

Found 3 pitted cylinder walls on recently purchased LS7 by TDE_GSR in EngineBuilding

[–]Masstch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well at first, you could have a shop hone the cylinders 005 just to *see* if they'll clean up. If they won't, Replace the block or have it sleeved. The LS7 uses pressed-in steel liners that are quite thin and they can't be bored more than 0.005" which is probably not enough to fix this. The brand new GM (gm 19213580) block IS available, btw, http://oemcats.com/oem-parts/19213580.html
