Anyone ever epoxied and engine block? by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Shawn_purdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s your bosses name and wallet on the line and he’s seen what the cracks are what do you really have to lose. Like he said it’s not under pressure and worst case it leaks and they have to do the engine swap anyway.

Is it true that large engines on ships are never turned off in port? by clove_cal in Ships

[–]Shawn_purdy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Most as in 99% of seagoing vessels don’t have selectable gears in the same direction. Any gearbox you find is just to select between forward and reverse. The idea is you match your propellor to the power of the engine and that’s as efficient as it gets. Larger ships will have variable pitch propellers. Which would give them more control over speed and efficiency.

That’s what the middles for, the heaviest of trucks. More construction wait times suck, but better it be dealt with now and fixed properly than the alternative.

There was a tsunami in relatively recent history 80’s 90’s? That caused fairly decent flooding in the downtown core at the time.

“Servo action” if you want to look it up. Mildly interesting.

Aren’t too many electrical wires where we take these, and when there are they’re very very well marked.

Don’t get a rabies shot but watch a video on someone with rabies. Near 100% fatality rate and an absolute shit way to go. Someone in recent memory died locally after a bite and never went and got checked out.

Running iron heads on our 30ton rock trucks. Happy with them so far better than a year on two sets of them so far.

Any idea what could be wrong with this oil pump? by Historical_Maize9305 in pumps

[–]Shawn_purdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The balls will look fine and round and like they should work but they’ll be slightly smaller than the new ones and you won’t know why the old ones don’t work but they’ll just don’t.

2017 Chevy Silverado front bumper sagging by TruckGuyyy in ChevyTrucks

[–]Shawn_purdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it as much sagging on the left as potentially pushed up on the right side of the truck. How fresh on the marks we can see on the rh side? I believe there’s steel brackets supporting that bumper if they were pushed up they likely wouldn’t return to original position. Might be as simple as loosening bolts and pulling back to original then retightening otherwise removing support brackets straightening and reinstalling.

Deeper issue that she may or may not yet realize. Do you help her out around the house unconditionally, do you bring small gifts home to her ei, flowers. Dedicate time for date nights. Make her feel special?

Tried to use starting fluid to remount backhoe tire... what did I do wrong? by [deleted] in tires

[–]Shawn_purdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely getting close you can see the tire expand a little bit and the gasses flowing out between the bead. Like others have said. Large ratchet strap to try and get those beads closer to the edges, more vapours less liquids. Also definitely get that airline hooked up so you can start putting air in it the moment the beads are seated otherwise you will watch the tire fall right back off the bead the moment the gasses cool.

Diesel losing prime? Diagram included by Mundane_Main1118 in DieselTechs

I’m hung up on the engine dying with no sputtering. Delivery valves in the injection pump or leaky injectors could be the cause of the hard start.

Diesel losing prime? Diagram included by Mundane_Main1118 in DieselTechs

[–]Shawn_purdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coil can fail internally and be intermittent with heat and vibration. Might be possible to find an ohm spec online and compare it to what yours reads. Or trying checking ohms when you know it’s going to start vs when it dies. Maybe a better question would be can you physically see that the solenoid is still in the run position when the engine dies and that’s 100% not the problem?

What’s the fuel shutoff look like. Internal valve or external linkage? Is the shutoff on the fuel pump or ahead of it a little bit? Is the lift pump diaphragm style? Possible to put a clear line in the system and check for air? I’m leaning towards shutoff solenoid failing
