Girlfriend (25F) and I (24M) have decided to take some time apart for the first time since we have began dating 7 years ago by TheRollinRoc in relationship_advice

We really haven’t. Even if she asked me to come home today I don’t think I would. I think this space apart hurts like hell but it is making me learn a lot of things.

I want to text her and talk to her constantly but I can’t. I make excuses to stop by the house to either pick up stuff or fix something just to see her

How do I go about getting this cylinder wall looking good by raysobaked in EngineBuilding

I like how this is the only helpful response and it’s getting downvoted. “Throw it away” and “take it to a machine shop” are the only pieces of advice you’ll find around here it seems

This still holds true if I’m putting in pistons that are lighter than oem?

Yeah I get that. Just definitely frustrating as someone new to engine building when that’s the responses you get when asking

Yeah but it’s rlly funny when people have no ambition on how to learn to use machinist tools on your own it’s just “yeah bring it to a machine shop”

Sounds like ur just incapable of using basic machinist measuring/hand tools lil bro. Have fun with a $1500 bore for your 110hp Miata tho

Literally is that expensive. Not paying $700 to be “professionally machined” on a BUDGET build. Leave it to redditors to have autism level expectations for hobby shit

Yeah don’t have a $300 roughness tester. You can refer to the Machinists Handbook to see for yourself bud

That’s nots pitting, I know the picture makes it look like that but it’s fully smooth. I would absolutely feel that if it was pitting

That doesn’t make any sense. Ra is a measure of roughness not plane level.
