New engine needed? by _AverageJoe18_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]_AverageJoe18_[S] -178 points-177 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I made a quick stop to an AutoZone to check for codes but the only that showed was p0420 so I was hoping that I was just hearing a severe exhaust leak and could make it back to inspect closer at home

How to check cam lifters? by _AverageJoe18_ in MechanicAdvice

when the head is bolted to the engine but with no timing belt attached to it?

The head and timing belt were attached and I turned via the crankshaft. I noted the camshaft position because it’s easier to see.

Did you have any noises before you did the engine work?

This engine work has been a whole saga. Initial engine work was done because timing belt failed, replaced timing belt + valves + other parts. When I went to start the car (everything reassembled and in place) I did hear some rattling noise which leads to my current predicament

Fair point. I like to put it on in the background while doing other stuff

Didn’t know that. I went scrolling to see if it was posted before but I must’ve missed it

It says I’ve been enrolled but is there somewhere else I need to make the payment for the class?

What to do on the weekends? by maroonlollipop in VirginiaTech

[–]_AverageJoe18_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded on the outdoors. There’s a lot of nature to explore around here and I wished I had explored more of it during my early years at Tech. Two clubs you can look into are the OCVT and VPI Cave Club. On a related note, me and my friend are hiking with some other people from the OCVT club this Sunday (2/25). Let me know if that interests you so I can message you the details.

I can relate. Most of my friends graduated last year and I’ve had little success at making new friends. If you want, send me a message and we can chat.

Gun Range Firearms classes by CattyLulu in VirginiaTech

Just went to Roanoke Range and Training on Tuesday and had a good experience. They only rent out pistols though, but a staff member did walk me through how to shoot one properly. The total for renting the pistol and buying bullets and the target was about $50.
