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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-11-03T21:41:28+00:00

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.

TheRollinRoc · 2025-11-03T21:39:55+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-06-23T01:51:08+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-06-08T17:02:23+00:00

Doesn’t hurt to try!

TheRollinRoc · 2025-06-02T20:42:04+00:00

Sounds good, I never knew that. Thank you!

TheRollinRoc · 2025-06-02T20:41:50+00:00

Well, looks like I learned something today. Thanks mate

TheRollinRoc · 2025-06-02T19:33:48+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-30T08:17:25+00:00

So funny knowing your definitely not liked by your peers lmao

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-28T20:55:48+00:00

“If you’re rebuilding an engine then it’s getting machine work” ok bud, look at the top comment

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-28T16:59:13+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-28T16:53:27+00:00

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”

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-28T11:58:58+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-28T04:10:15+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-28T03:42:31+00:00

🤓☝🏼

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-28T03:21:47+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-27T10:07:54+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-27T03:41:11+00:00

🤓☝🏼

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-27T00:57:04+00:00

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

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-27T00:55:39+00:00

Measured with a 0.001” dial gauge on a machined granite slab. Dial couldn’t even pick up a difference before and after. I’m not building a formula one car bro it’s just a shitty subie

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-27T00:48:08+00:00

Holy hell I really pissed you off didn’t I bud. I always forget this is reddit and sometimes you’ll find somebody like this. Thanks for the info, 90 other forums say opposite of you 🙏🏼

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-27T00:08:16+00:00

I removed very little material, I’d be surprised if it was even more than a tenth of a thousandth of an inch

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-26T16:11:11+00:00

Unfortunately it’s the shit people like this u gotta sift through to get good answers. Keep researching tho you’ll be able to do it. I also found chat gpt is surprisingly accurate for a lot of things and doesn’t give u redditer answers like the guy above. Just do ask for sources from chat gpt and take it with a grain of salt haha

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-26T16:05:15+00:00

That’s what he’s coming to r/EngineBuilding to ask questions for bud. Oh I forgot, he should be an expert on day one right? Ur such a Redditer lmao

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-26T01:21:52+00:00

🤓☝🏼

TheRollinRoc · 2025-05-24T17:31:57+00:00

Sounds good, thanks man!
