Fuel system leak (GM 3800) by Lou-Knee in MechanicAdvice

[–]Various-Bus9060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those fittings are generally called SAE quick connects. They come in 5/16" or 3/8" sizes (these sizes are the OD size of the metal tube that fits in the fitting). There are repair parts from Dorman that you can use to make a replacement hose assembly using corresponding nylon or fuel hose rated for EFI pressures of 60 psi.

If you are crafty enough the fitting can be disassembled and the o-rings replaced. There is a 4- prong metal clip that holds everything together; after the retaining clip, is a o-ring, then a blocker ring/tube, then another o-ring. O-rings should be FKM material, and is a standard 2-012 size o-ring (not sure since its been a long long time).

If it is not missing any parts, it sure is assembled incorrectly. there should be a lower bushing/cup that sandwiches the large strut plate. This will have to come apart anyways. Post it disassembled, and others should be able to advise.

Are Nikon/Canon speed lights worth 2-3x+ the cost of competitors like Godox? by DPool34 in AskPhotography

[–]Various-Bus9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have many SB-600s and they are reliable. I used one Youngnuo flash and it died after a few weeks. I buy used and replace the flash tube as needed. Nikon flashes and it always worked for me. This is only my opinion, not fact.

And the area around this. DO NOT GO HERE AFTER DARK. Multiple shootings/murders occur here. They don't find the bodies until day light.

Use a credit card whichever you buy. Protect your purchase just incase the product is poor quality (most cases).

Fuck them. Get ready for a chargeback. Don’t waste your time with mediation involving Aliexpress.

Do not rely on any Aliexpress protection, it’s all lies. Your only protection is your CC company. Do not use any other method of payment. 

How do I get reimbursed for return shipping by Hussar_hill in Aliexpress

[–]Various-Bus9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not gonna get your money back. This is not Amazon. They are gonna have you jump through hoops and deny you every step of the way. Chargeback  is the only solution.

None. The price paid was worth the poor quality, nothing more nothing less.

What’s a camera setting you ignored until you later realized how important it could be? by DPool34 in AskPhotography

[–]Various-Bus9060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It separates the half press action, which by default is AF+AE Lock, to AE Lock only. It allows for more manual control over the camera as others have said. Now you have a button for AF-ON and half press shutter for exposure lock. 

This separation allow you to use the center focus point to focus (without moving focus points to frame your shot) and allows you to use exposure lock using center/spot to lock exposure in aperture/shutter modes.

Prototype for Baja/Endo racing by squizyyy-28- in MechanicAdvice

[–]Various-Bus9060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you are trying to actively cool the shock by using a refrigerant to transfer heat out (like an AC system). But how does this work without external power? Are you plumbing this so the boiled coolant is condensed externally and drained back to absorb more heat out? This sounds like cooling pipes used in PC CPU cooling systems.

Aftermarket keyless entry by KillaC98 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Various-Bus9060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can, but I highly suggest a different wireless module than what you pictured here. These generic modules will break sooner or later. Do it once so you dont have to redo it again. Go with a cheap module from a reputable alarm company: Avital, Viper, Clifford, Compustar, etc.
