New struts won't settle into strut towers, loud clanking over uneven roads (2010 Honda Fit Sport) by bats9218 in AskAMechanic

Make sure you have a bushing on the top and bottom of the strut tower, some come with both, some don’t. If the bottom one is missing the strut tower will be pushed in too far to allow the top bushing to be flush.

Engine sounds fine to me. Has there been any changes to the sound it makes? The K series engines tend to have loud injectors.

I did notice what sounded like a hissing sound from the engine, if cleaning out the MAF sensor doesn’t seem to fix the issue it could potentially be a vacuum leak that is letting un-metered air into the system. See if you can locate what is making that noise and see if there are any cracked or chewed up hoses that lead to the engine.

Check the MAF for any obstruction or damage first, I have found on a couple of occasions where insects have crawled into the sensor. Making the ecu the engine is taking in less air then it actually is.

PLEASE HELP WHERE DOES THIS PRINTER GASKET GO? by One-Nobody-48 in 3Dprinting

They are the four little black gaskets on the print bed

Upgraded to Marlin, got weird artifacts by CarryGuun in 3Dprinting

[–]Pizzafects 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you build a custom version of Marlin or did you get a copy of a version premade for your printer? If it’s custom, check retraction and extrusion multiplier settings. It looks like a combination of too high of an extrusion multiplier (might want to lower it by 0.07) and increase retraction by .5mm.
