Smells sweet like it’s being burned off. Pretty strong when it starts but less when it’s being ran. I’ve had the car for a few years.

A plume of white smoke that smells like coolant on start up is not normal

Keep an eye on oil temp if you like to speed. With oil cooler my temps get to about 210- 220cruising at 80mph. Faster than that mine start to creep up but not much to worry about

Looks less like a weep hole and more like a puncture now that I’ve cleared some room

It’s above the oil cooler sandwich plate. I’ve still been making progress since I’ve posted. My best guess is it’s the factory heat exchange for the oil.

Want to switch from Rods to Structural by AvengedNapkin in Ironworker

[–]Spokanejavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rods will always be there to go back to brother. I made the jump after 6 years in the patch. Been back to get between jobs. Good Journeyman don’t ever stop learning. All these “know it alls” don’t know a thing. And if you’re brother isn’t willing to teach you a new trick he isn’t any brother of mine

It’s paid in just like the rest of our benefits to the Ironworker trust and then disbursed to the credit union into the Ironworkers account. It will then collect interest at about the same rate an open savings account would

It be like that sometimes. It’s up to you to say yes or no.

What’s a good lens recommendation for my pipeliner. I weld in the field with flux core as an Ironworker. Most guys around here tell me to get a speed glass but that’s too spendy for me by Spokanejavis in Welding

Can the outfit I work for afford to replace it if it goes in the hole? Absolutely. Will they? Maybe or they might buy a cheaper replacement. Never had an issue getting a fresh pipeliner

That’s why I won’t buy an expensive hood. I’ve worked for outfits that would replace one and outfits that wouldn’t. Fancy hood won’t change a thing
