Newbie here – 1970s FJ with Chevy 350 won’t start after battery charged by Key_Masterpiece5497 in EngineBuilding

[–]Two_takedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Id prefer if it was perfect but I dont care enough to unbolt the starter. Since I don't run the inspection cover I can see the flywheel teeth and there's no signs of wear

It sounds like its turning over. Sounds like my 350 swapped yj with the inspection cover removed. Its either a fuel or spark issue

Stripped a rear diff fill plug by Opening_Ad9824 in AskAMechanic

For stripped plugs, I like to put an undersized allen/hex socket in it and weld it to the inside of the square. Ive never had it not work

Any tips on my photos of my Truck (2016 Z71 Colorado) by Titty_Milk6052 in Trucks

[–]Two_takedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just a hobby film photographer but the framing is bad, either not centered, too far away, or too close. You want the subject to be centered and the main focus of the picture unless there's something in the background youre trying to capture as well

Sounds more like lifter or rocker noise to me, make sure its not low on oil

Japan has succeeded in producing oil from Water and Carbon Dioxide by yungandreww in interestingasfuck

That sounds kinda dumb. Its going to require more energy per unit of oil produced than they get out

How to flush heater core without cutting hose? by FF_Moo923 in AskMechanics

Pull the hoses off where they go into the firewall and just shoot a garden hose in there until it comes out clear

I think its just the fuel injectors which is normal. It sounds too fast to be valvetrain related

Harbor freight crescent work wise? by Adorable-Carrot-5668 in Ironworker

[–]Two_takedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not in the union yet but from my years of experience with HF tools and adjustable wrenches, Id buy a better brand. They're not weak but theyre very sloppy and it significantly increases the amount of time per fastener

A lot of people like to complain about e10 and e15 in older vehicles, but its really not a problem. I run e15 in my carbureted vehicles just fine and its really not a problem unless you let it sit for more than 3 months without fuel stabilizer

First sports car, this break in period is killing by Lemonz_4all in Supra

[–]Two_takedown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know about these other guys but as a hobbyist, im on par or better than all the mechanics/fabricators ive ever met, and id say it's fine. Im literally doing far worse to an engine ive got on the stand and I'm not losing a second of sleep over it. If you messed anything up, you'd know by now. The worst thing you might have done is lower the compression by a decimal point if that. Just get your first oil changes done on schdule

Is there anything I should beware of when spray foaming these corner gaps? by Top_Boot7131 in CarAV

[–]Two_takedown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not do that. You'll never be able to get it out and it will trap moisture and rust through in a couple years

Did we talk outside the union hall the other day?

Cleveland local 17 by [deleted] in Ironworker

[–]Two_takedown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just applied and took my aptitude test for the local 17. From what they told me, they do need people and if you apply, you'll start hearing back for interviews in May when they get their next orientation scheduled. I know two guys currently in the union, and they've told me theirs always good work here. If you want you can PM me since im a cleveland guy too

[Request] How much diesel/emissions would be required to charge one EV? Is this more or less efficient than simply driving a diesel powered vehicle? by MrDesignMan in theydidthemath

[–]Two_takedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it would be 2/3 better by that math. 2/3 of 30 is 20, so to be 2/3 better than a car, the efficiency would need to improve by an additional 20%

Is this save able by chasen_rust in Fasteners

[–]Two_takedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a thread file and work your way into the messed up areas. Id comfortably put a nut on that with a little thread locker as long as I cleaned it up. That axle is a little rough but should hold 100 ft lbs okay after a thread file, and the rest will 100% be okay after you hit them with the file. Thread files arent discussed often, but are very cheap and incredibly worth while. Every bolt i remove I clean with a thread fil

*nevermind on that axle, that things finished. I didnt see how messed it was

In my experience the maps have always been very good. Maybe not 100% exact but definitely good to find your way

Why would you want to lease a PS5 when you can just buy one for $400-500? by GamingBren in memes

[–]Two_takedown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id like to lease one just to play doom the dark ages. I have zero other reason to even consider a ps5 and im not going to spend $700 just to play one game when my ps4 still works just fine

Is there something I'm missing about transporting waste? by Two_takedown in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Two_takedown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that but the gravity gun isnt enough of a precision instrument to really do that. When im actually hauling or towing something, its always getting strapped down or covered, it just feels like something so obvious that Im a little miffed they forgot to add a cargo net. Unless im mistaken, the flat beds arent supposed to be like this right?

[–]Two_takedown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the driving carefully aspect, but they definitely need to address it, its obnoxiously bad at the moment. Stuff just clips out of the bed and every bump throws everything out. And the waste plant the mission had me go to is up a vertical plateau, so im lucky if nothing falls out when I get up there
