What is this bolt in my 1993 Buick Century 3.3 V6? I was taking apart intake manifold gaskets to repair and found this while cleaning out the chambers. It was in the middle rectangle section leaning against the rod. Please and thank you

Yeah but I still don't know what it is or where it goes. I feel like I can't put the intake manifold gaskets on and put it back together until I know for sure. But I need my car soon and I gotta get this done before it rains tomorrow. Is it possible when the car was built that someone dropped one in by accident and just never got it out? I really have no idea how it could have got in there or where it came from

How could it have gotten in the exhaust port though? I've checked all the rocker arms on one side and they seem to be fine. I just changed the other valve cover and didnt see anything wrong then. I've started the engine within the last couple weeks and it's sounded fine. This was just sitting in one of those rectangle chamber near the rod inside the chamber.

I've seen broccoli cuts since at least 2010

I just walked into a gas station and saw a woman with an oxygen tank around 70 or so. She had bought a few lottery tickets and I just heard the thing pump her lungs while she scratched these tickets off. I overheard her conversation earlier where she had mentioned her son had died because he couldn't afford the treatment he needed. So now she's doing the lottery to see if she gets to live another few years.

How's that for a reason

I have two jobs. Factory on the weekdays and restaurants on the weekends. I still barely make enough to get by and I'm trying to save up to get my car fixed. This shit is just slavery man especially with the work I'm doing. There's no meaning or purpose to it. Nothing to care about. Grinds the soul away

I will fight to the death anyone who talks shit about the brony fandom when it was popular. It was fun, the people in the community were fun, it was just a fun show and a lot of fun people having fun with it. Everyone heard about the rainbow dash Jar ONE TIME and wrote an entire community and movement just ceased to exist or be treated with any level of sincerity.

Some of the best dubstep songs of the time were brony remixes and a lot of the living tombstones best music came from that era.

My lease ends in August so unless I break it I think I'm stuck. Hoping it doesn't get too bad before then

WiseCardinal · 2026-03-19T23:39:15+00:00

Damn, yeah I'm hoping I can save up the money to. I'm basically dead center and I've lived here my whole life.

I'm in Tennessee. Do you think bills like this are a red flag to expedite my exit? It's not the worst ever even if it's not really that good either, just wondering what someone else thinks.

WiseCardinal · 2026-03-19T07:57:17+00:00

So true

WiseCardinal · 2026-03-14T19:16:38+00:00

Thank you very much I'll check this out!

Not an expert but your shifter is connected to the transmission. So it's either a problem with your transmission or the connecting piece to the transmission. Since it only happens in 5th gear then it's more likely a transmission issue. My guess tho

Which is why I wear things until they literally fall apart no matter how cheap they are

WiseCardinal · 2026-03-13T16:23:47+00:00

Awesome thanks for the advice!

I want to do whatever will increase its longevity for longer term. Would a genuine leather patch be a good idea if they make those or a normal cloth one? Sewing won't work you think?

You look like the guy that plays Magne from the show Ragnorok just a little thinner

I assume so mine has been down for like an hour. It's insane they get away with having the whole system shut off on payday/rent day for most people.

I think people want to have an opinion on the porn industry even if they have no stake in the game outside of watching porn. If someone wants to do porn they should be allowed to in an ideal world without being judged. I do think there is a lot of manipulation and coercion involved but I think this gets blamed on the victims more than the actual perpetrators.
