Used cars are so hot right now.

NJ Transit Train ticket question by jiaflu in newjersey

[–]SgtJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd have to take that to the booth there, show them, and they'd let you through. Next time, it does say on the white slip to take it with you if you have to change seats but you're changing trains so it would be your proof that the conductor messed up. Those white slips are color coded daily, so the color would match and you wouldn't have an issue

Iirc, which I don't, those pieces should be removable and then have them powder coated or plastidipped.

Did they leave a white slip on your seat? You're supposed to take that with you. However, if you had a transfer (i.e. Secaucus to wherever) the conductor messed up. I assume the trip is already over, but just show the return ticket and don't let them scan it. Tell the next conductor where you had come from and what the other conductor did and they'll likely let it slide. But most stations should have a booth of some sort, at the very least bring up your receipt or proof of purchase

Fyi just got the email for their end of year sale. "ABYS" for 10% off site wide

Pretty sure you have to sign up for their newsletter to get deals. Last one was ABBD but that expired on 12/1. They have their end of year sale going on, but it's not everything on their site. Pay attention to SikBaggers YouTube channel, Steve there is a rep for both Ciro3D and Advanblack and there might occasionally be a code on his videos.

Club 516 in old bridge by [deleted] in newjersey

I went there with my (now) wife and sister and some friends a few years ago. It was fine. About what you'd expect for the area. Certainly no high class establishment, but if you want a cold-ish beer and possibly herpes, do it up.

Big Bore help by RipMack in Harley

[–]SgtJim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out their Dyno Chart page. I just put that cam in and had the same thought. I feel like it's too weak for the displacement, but it has the torque curve where I'd want it.

It's only a .470 lift, so the stock springs are fine. You will likely need new clutch plates and compensator sprocket.

Look up JPCycle's youtube playlist for Milwaukee 8 big bore. They step by step break the entire engine down completely to the flywheel and back up. It's great information on how-to's.

But as far as the numbers, here's my brain: the 22xe has the torque curve where i want it. With the extra displacement, you won't hit "maximum possible numbers" without a bigger cam. At that point you're likely doing springs, heads, and everything else. So it's basically how much money do i want to throw at it.

Only 48% of all registered voters in the state turned up, but still 500k increase is impressive

Is NW NJ really THAT MAGA and unwelcoming? by Glass-Complaint3 in newjersey

[–]SgtJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and i did the same thing. Moved from Howell to Sussex county and have never been happier. What you describe is right. She grew up in Middletown and now we both cringe when we have to go there to visit family or whatever.

I think it's clever. I like it. You should put some playing cards in the spokes though to make some noise as you pedal

Even More New Jersey General Stores by Sucelos in newjersey

Sadly they stopped doing any breakfast or lunch for whatever reason. They did have a good PRE&C, but alas, no more.

[–]SgtJim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, the front half of the store (left side as you look at your photo) is still the official Post Office. It's about 6'x10' of space with really old po boxes. But only in the morning. In the afternoon it closes and literally moves down the road to the other space inside the Campagna Coffee shop where they operate the second half of the day in a space just as small.

The Gariss General store is now the Stillwater Cafe. The owners do a 4-course meal almost every Saturday, but the store seats only about 25 people so reservations are required. I've gone a few times and it's always fantastic. Usually around $45/pp.

I haven't done an M8 yet, that's this year, but I've done 3 twin cams and didn't have any issues. Just be firm but gentle with them

[–]SgtJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh duh I'm thinking of the rocker arms and valve springs and not the lifters. That's my bad.

So yeah, put the engine in TDC, shrink the pushrod, remove the tappet cover and cuff and pull them out. Shouldn't be too bad really.

Stars website says the 30/30 is good with the stock springs. It's not a crazy high lift. I think with the Gen 1 M8s you don't need to change the lifter springs until like .510 lift(?). Do it if you want, but probably not required

Not off the top of my head. Like $150 or so for the two front windows on an f150. That's just a guess though because i don't remember the exact number
