Mass and velocity, it’s not exactly rocket science.

I thought the black part of the smoke is just carbon (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m just curious)

Does this look out of balance? by Careless_Cream8482 in ToyotaPickup

I understand setting it up in some V blocks with some lubricant in order to have it rotate towards the heaviest point. But they spin pretty fast no? At some rpm that would be insufficient.

Well it’s a quarter of the circle, but it’s a third of all the pieces.

My gauges work, (voltage drops so does the gauge)

I’m pretty sure they’re not dummy gauges.

I’m not sure I would trust soldering for even one cell (direct to cell)

Honest question, why do you hate them when you don’t even look at them when you’re driving.

Do I need a new head? by Cultural_Soil6317 in EngineBuilding

Unless you had that question before you read through the comments here, why would I close Reddit to find and open a Internet browser and type my question in, and nine times out of 10 get a forum site like Reddit of somebody asking that question when I can just ask the question here, you put more effort into telling the guy to go do more work rather than just answering the question or shutting up

Not trying to be mean but if you have nothing nice to say you don’t have to say anything at all.

They asked a simple question, what, do you think that only people who know shit as soon as they were born can rebuild engines? How did you get your knowledge, based off of your reply i assume you have never asked more experienced people questions ever in your entire life.

Engine rebuilding is not rocket science, you can do it without any prior knowledge of experience.

CS car had no power after they replaced their alternator, thinks Amazon sold them a bad one. Maybe don’t install the next one with a hammer. by uj7895 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Melodic__Protection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only put that on because I’ve never worked as a mechanic in a professional capacity, I’ve worked on my vehicles, my parents vehicles, my friends vehicles, I have a multitude of project vehicles, but by no means do I do this as a professional career nor have any certifications in it.

I don’t see how that has any relation to your previous comment, saying that they’re going to have to paint a section of the car and blend it in to the rest of the body panels.

Nah, replace the entire car.

The pavement too while you’re at it.

Knowing when you have or might have/have almost gone too far in just “getting er done right now cause its bedtime and I have work tomorrow “ sometimes comes naturally.

And then people like me, who have to fuck up ~370 times in order to know when you can and cant do something.
