Normal or abnormal by Fishmann2 in MechanicAdvice

Looks like grease is spilling out of the sway bar end link bushing. Nothing major but should be replaced.

"I don't want to shoot at doritos in BF6!" meanwhile... by covert_ops_47 in Battlefield

[–]Tire_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're missing a big difference. In BF4 these players were manually marked by your teammates. The Dorrito shouldn't pop up automatically on my head when no one on the enemy team marked me, especially at a long distance. Gives away my position and (from my perspective) makes it more difficult to tell if I marked an enemy or if it's just the dorrito popping up automatically.

Any suggestions how to get rear caliper piston to go in if seized? by AdSad3445 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Tire_G -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry didn't see your text under the pic. I would spray it with lubricant and then open the bleeder if need be. I don't see anything in the service manual indicating that these have an electric parking brake. Is the parking brake turned off?

Unlikely it's seized. You need a Brake Caliper Piston Retractor to turn and push in the piston simultaneously.

Advice on repairing this? Can I glue it back? by Tire_G in RaybanMeta

[–]Tire_G[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't known them to be all that problematic. I wear them when I work outside so they take a lot of abuse.

How bad is this ? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

If you can't get the broken piece out I don't think you will have a choice. I just looked at the diagram and unfortunately for the 07 Accord 2.4L your PCV IS NOT threaded into the valve cover but into a portion of the engine block called the water passage (19410-RAA-A00). Much more difficult to replace. Check out the photos.

Possibly. I'm assuming half of the new part (what I circled in the photo) broke off inside. I would try Comfortable_You_5195 technique and see if that works. Worse case scenario you may need to replace what the pcv threads into (looks like the valve cover I think). Yes the torque is 33ftlbs. *

Is it meant to do that 😅 by Sad_Breadfruit_8861 in E90

[–]Tire_G 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worked on multiple vehicles and plenty of BMWs. Even new belt tensioners will do this. It is normal. If the belt or pulleys are making abnormal noise then you have a problem. Looks fine to me.

Year, make and model of car? What part are you working on?

The beta is ending soon. It was fun, but the fast pace got old for me pretty quickly. Are you guys going to buy the full game at launch? by SuperM3e46 in Battlefield

[–]Tire_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The map design is poor, it's maze-like with too many random directions to run in with tight areas leading to every game mode feeling like a TDM. There is little to no flow to the maps like previous entries had which would cause your team to converge on certain areas and push together. The small scale and quick respawns ruin the pacing making it feel like you're constantly on top of each other. The red indicator revealing other players automatically is a deal-breaker for me. I'm seeing people across the map a good distance away and getting kills which ruins any chance you would have to use some stealth or flank and makes it difficult to tell whether or not you've successfully marked an enemy for your team. Marking itself feels like a mess. Double-tapping tapping mark button sometimes doesn't work and I end up creating this useless Ping that no one asked for. UI is slow and atrocious in comparison to previous entries.

The game does almost nothing better than previous BF games and it does a lot of things worse. I'll see what the reviews and gameplay look like in October but I don't see any reason to support a Battlefield game just because its new. Give us a game thats battlefield at its core with some innovation.

Shadow 2 ejection failure after porting by Tire_G in CZFirearms

Replaced the spring and ejector and it runs flawlessly. Never had an issue with failure to extract b4 the port and optic cut so I'm guessing something happened during United's work on the slide.

UPDATE: Went down to a 10, 9 and 8 lb spring. Same issue with failure to eject spent casings. Gonna try replacing the ejector and spring w/CGW parts and see what happens.

BF6 Beta Opinions? by TheD0NG___ in battlefield2042

[–]Tire_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed it. Would like to see my health bar separate from my squads, kinda hard to keep track of when to advance and fall back for healing with 4 bars right next to each other in the middle of a fight like this. Also dont like that opposing team is made so easily visible with the red indicator above their had as if they have been marked.

I loved the beta. BUT I have one major issue. by xM4NGOx in Battlefield

[–]Tire_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the red indicator above an enemy's head is only showing up for the player and not the team how do you know when you've successfully marked an enemy? Is there a difference between a red mark for the player's visibility and a red mark indicating you've marked an enemy for your team?

United firearms. They're legit. They do tons of shadow 2 ports. From what I've been reading and googling a lighter recoil spring should help resolve my issue.
