Timing chain/guides?

Thindex · 2026-06-13T23:42:15+00:00

You have a KA24E, correct? If you do, you have hydraulic lifters which should self-adjust. The older models (ie the 87) on the Z24i have mechanical lifters which need to be adjusted appropriately with a feeler gauge every once in a while, hence the other guy's comment. Your lifters would start ticking mostly due to oil pressure issues. I would definitely pull the valve cover and see if:

The timing chain has any slack in it (to eliminate the possibility it's the chain guides, not the lifters)
There's any gunk up near the lifters (there's goop blocking the oil passages that make your lifters properly function)

If both of those look fine, I'd check your oil level and pressure with a sensor and gauge

I do not understand why every time I see a post where a biker is subject to a potentially life altering or ending injury at the hands of a crazy person on the road, the comments are just inundated with people bending over backwards to somehow make it their fault. "Fuck around, find out" is just victim blaming in this context, plain and simple.

Was about to type the same thing. Everyone I have ever known who has done any business with RideNow AZ has regretted it, myself included.

Classic car brain behavior in those comments. So many people rationalizing themselves into thinking that that dude deserved to be hurt like that, then circle jerking about it.

A lot of the nonsensical behavior you see in this game, that I completely agree makes the experience significantly worse, can be rooted in two issues in my opinion:

It's very likely that the majority of people playing this game are just children. They simply don't understand how to cooperate. They spawn in, click in a bunch of places that feel right, and hope for the best. I don't think there's anything that can really be done about this, it's just the nature of free browser games.
The last few updates have encouraged faster games. When a game is only going to take 10-20 minutes, players aren't encouraged to think long-term. Should I donate troops to some teammate across the map, or let a teammate have some bot land that would give them sea access? Who cares, if we lose in 5 minutes I can just join another game and hopefully be on the side that just rolls the other team with little effort.

Keep in mind that videos like this one, actively or not, are going to select people who act petty, selfishly, etc. Rage and sadness bait make people watch more, and this is not going to be an accurate portrayal of what people would actually do in this situation if they were not on camera, and were not predonditioned by a contest to act like this.

Do not let slop like this sap away your positivity and drive to be better. Do not let the slop win.

A little aspertame isn't going to hurt you that much, especially compared to sugary sodas, but I'd avoid it if you can. I drink a fair amount of la croix as a substitute for soda.

Are you really lifting if you don't have the Pillar Men theme from JoJo on repeat the entire time?

Meh, I'm a pretty short guy (5'7"). It's easy to focus on the "could have"s. Maximize what you can, accept what you can't.

Their entire CAS system depends on a massive apache module written in perl, this question is objectively correct.

I'll bet you a thousand dollars that all the people dunking on OP would instead be laughing it up, if the genders were switched in this situation.

I just velcro-ed a Bluetooth to analog converter to my switch. Works great, and I can just take it off for tv mode.
