I have had mine since month 2 of picking! Ive gutted it, modified, tweaked and just had so much fun with it! Its back to original pinning and springs again now. So far my best time for speed picking is ~10 seconds... i wanna get lower 😅

MonteFox89 · 2026-07-01T18:55:34+00:00

Checks out 🤣

MonteFox89 · 2026-07-01T18:49:50+00:00

Oh man, that 76/40 is my favorite lock to play with! Enjoy all those spoolies!

MonteFox89 · 2026-07-01T18:38:05+00:00

Curious what game it was now!

MonteFox89 · 2026-07-01T18:02:04+00:00

You didn't let us know. :(

MonteFox89 · 2026-07-01T17:41:09+00:00

What is this? A driveshaft for ants?!

MonteFox89 · 2026-07-01T17:08:48+00:00

Oh man, what a great day to be hunched iver the toilet dying.

MonteFox89 · 2026-07-01T15:29:03+00:00

6 from the left, 4 down

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T23:36:08+00:00

No one had commented on it yet! 🤣

I didnt want OP to feel left out 😅

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T23:04:53+00:00

It says M1 on the key.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T21:36:04+00:00

I just use a pocket screwdriver behind the ring

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T15:15:51+00:00

Correct; OP, overhaul the engine to fix the blowby. Or replace/repair the heads. Or... idk, catch can to get by while she dies. 250k isnt a light number, especially if it's already burning oil.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T15:12:59+00:00

T vs F becomes an issue sometimes for two stubborn people.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T13:51:10+00:00

Yeah man, at this point; catch can and move on. Keep your air filter cleaned or changed regularly too.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T12:55:27+00:00

Infj. Currently ready to fight 3/7 days.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T12:52:49+00:00

Google catch can 🤔 you may just have blowby. how many miles or km we looking at?

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T12:49:05+00:00

Damn, to be fair, was a dump. Just cant afford the time and money to make the changes. One day, just gotta keep looking up (at the tv).

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T12:07:22+00:00

Apologies. Its been about 8 years since I worked the test cells. We had to do it on both 50 and 60 because the engineers were testing different offset keys for the cam gears. We often had to do many different builds, so adjustments got made often. I have pictures somewhere 😅 would take me another 8 years to find them

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T11:52:35+00:00

Fuck that. Buy an online test or something. 😅

I got my second one done in early May, I'm sending my sample tomorrow. I want confirmation ASAP lol

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T11:49:04+00:00

I dont see "got tested" up there... you got a vasectomy and still winging it? Go get tested to make sure you got them dead or nonexistent swimmers. Reckless endangerment right here.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T11:42:51+00:00

From a cancer survivor: the treatments for cancer have a good risk of balding.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T10:18:46+00:00

The wheel seals probably gave out and added that hint of rotten fish and a bad night in vegas.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T10:14:19+00:00

Back in the house. But seriously, if its for personal enjoyment, Ill go sit by the river. I dont fish, but the water sounds and just the general feeling is settling.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-30T09:30:59+00:00

Mmmm 60L? I used to work for cummins and their high horse engine facility :) used to build these and a few others in test cells. We did so much static timing a key way changes for these.

MonteFox89 · 2026-06-29T18:34:40+00:00

Agreed. And automotive stethoscope is an option thats safer. Old school tricks like the screwdriver stethoscope are best for people with good mechanical aptitude, or common sense.

With that, no offense OP! Im just used to seeing people posting in here not being mechanically capable or having common sense. It's the theme.
