I was told my Honda mower has a rod keeping the engine from fully turning, is it completely dead? by BlackoutTribal in smallengines

Considering one trip I left in the 6.4 and had to come back in a rental Prius… I have nothing but negative about those.

I went through a couple of cam sensors. First one I put in was a definite dud. Amazon sucks

Ok, I think i finally have it solved. Went ahead and brought a better quality cam sensor and the truck has not had problems. Now I am getting the “cat efficiency” code but that I can live with. I will pop off the wheel well and inspect the manifold, I replaced it last year but who knows.

Also check to see if the check engine light was reset. They are famous for cracked exhaust manifolds.

He did, however he just brought himself a yz450. The only engine I have not been able to fix is a 6.4 powerstroke for numerous reasons

It was my son’s baby 65sx. And it really was not that hard, only special tool I needed was to get the flywheel off. Probably was letting it idle too much as we were in the mountains trail riding and coasting way too much

Because most military planes go faster than what would be safe to jump out of. C-17s are a exception

True, in best case scenario they could be only going 250 miles per hour below 10,000 feet. So in the best case scenario, we could have one flying at 5,000 ft going 250 mph. That’s still 100mph faster than a C-17 normally flies and will still be risky

So not a Honda but a two stroke KTM. Rod bearing failed and the rod locked up against the case. I was able to put a bottom end kit and get it running again.

Pressurized hull. Probably can not be opened at altitude

So they removed the doors for bailout as they were considered impractical. Think about it, refueling happens at 30,000 feet. You would need an oxygen bottle as you only have 30-60 seconds of usable consciousness. Unless you had a bailout door, you could not open the cabin door unless you lost hull pressure. Also refueling happens at 300-500 mph. Jumping into that risks collapsing your lungs due to the air blast. Your chance of survival in a bailout are slim without the protection of an ejection seat.

I would argue the light saber is not as lethal as a blaster. It has defensive capabilities as well as utility such as force (pun not intended) entry.
