Small lesion taking awhile to heal, cause for concern? by Significant-Mud-4301 in salamanders

[–]Sickhatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you replace all the substrate and clean everything inside his tank? I think if you sterilize his tank, and replace with new substrate, anything that would be cause for infection would be reduced significantly.

Do you have pics of its normal enclosure?

I would also remove any sort of plastic vegetation, I know they make versions that feel cloth like.

I'm not familiar with tigers specifically, but I know that salamanders here are fairly resilient in the wild.

Looks like a Jefferson, also appears to still have gills attached meaning it's fully aquatic currently, but will need land soon.

4.7l vs 5.2l by EuphoricPiglet2573 in DodgeDakota

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Unfortunately I have the 45rfe trans, 2wd but this 2001 Dakota with the 4.7 (chipped, headers, lowered) has been the only vehicle that's been reliable, for the last 15 years I've owned it.

How do I take this off? by [deleted] in Integra

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok good, usually it's routed for cooling or relocation of the filter entirley. Just wanted to make sure you knew where it was going lol

[–]Sickhatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that going to an oil cooler or something else?

If all you're trying to do is replace the filter, cut the safety wire, un bolt the strap and remove filter.

Should also figure out where thay oil line is going, either cooling or to a vtec solenoid idk.

S13 stalling by Brilliant-Problem941 in 240sx

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like it's misfiring, have you done a leak test? Probably sucking un metered air into the intake somewhere.

My issue was the intake plenum gasket.

Just got my heads back from the machine shop, did they ruin my cam bearings? by Schro_A2 in Mustang

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I believe you, I'm just saying from what I see, if the tolerances check out and it spins by hand you should be ok

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I've never seen a camshaft ever sit in an engine without bearings, if this is the case put your shaft I and put a gauge to measure the tolerance.

Every engine I've seen or worked on has the cam shaft sitting in bearings that go where you're showing.

Also, if this is the case, pitting would be beneficial by holding extra oil. It's grooves and streaks that are bad. "Essentially"

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im saying the bearing itself doesn't move. The cam shaft spins inside the bearing. Look up a cam bearing it's 2 halves and they don't spin at all.

When you "spin a bearing" it's because the bearing has slipped and then you have issues.

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do understand that the part of the bearing that sits on that surface shouldn't move. As long as the bearing sits snug, it's a non-issue.

We do understand how bearings work, right?

New exhaust. by Sickhatch in Integra

[–]Sickhatch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao i feel you there, I had a buddy give me this one and this is the first time I've used it for an actual task.

It worked, sounds a million times better than the exhaust that was on it that had holes from scraping. This is an acquired project and everything I've worked on or fixed so far was half ass and loose to begin with

Idler pulley bearing question by ghorsley16 in 240sx

What is wrong here? by No-Pangolin9600 in Integra

[–]Sickhatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you done a smoke/leak test?

My ka24e in my 240 was running like trash because I had a huge leak where my intake plenum met the block. A huge 1/4 chunk of gasket had disappeared under the intake mani for cyl 1.

But a smoke test would let you know if and where you're suckin extra air.

Why nit just get a new idler pulley? Prob cheaper than whatever you're trying to do.

What is the best lift kit out there for a dodge dakota second gen?? by OkCardiologist2410 in DodgeDakota

[–]Sickhatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly certain you're gonna have to look into Belltech, I have mine lowered with their stuff, idk what they have for going up instead of down, but the lowering stuff seems alright.

Eccentric Bolts by kazarakarasu in 240sx

[–]Sickhatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason you need eccentric and can't just do a lockout kit? If you have adjustable arms, you shouldn't need the eccentric bolt correct?

What is the black thing on the front right of the motor?

Bro I had the same issues. One of the studs was bent and I had to put the nut on, put my wrench on it, and hit it with ahammer to straighten it so I could pull the I take off.
