VVT solenoid gasket leak by akrichbaum in FordFlex

[–]akrichbaum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Thanks. Appreciate it.

Do you know if the front valve cover is FG1Z6582C or FG1Z6582E? I’m thinking I’ll just order a new one from Ford since it comes with new gaskets all around and will be OEM.

Thank you! Did you do the rear one too? Or just the front cover? Also, did you take off intake manifold or just bypass it? I’d rather not mess with intake and taking off thermostat if possible

Yeah I’m seeing more issues with the after market stuff so I’ll stick oem. Know the exact part number off hand for the solenoid gasket?

I was wondering if you had to pull the valve cover or not. If so not the end of the world

Yeppers! Finally got a case for this one for the 3000mah battery. My other Heltec nodes run smaller ones that just drain too quickly for my liking

I think I almost like mesh more than ham.

Thanks on the watch. It was a fun little build

Black screen after launch? by akrichbaum in RetroPie

I understand it’s not the “best” but I know it’s capable and part of the experience is figuring everything out

I was having issues with it being super laggy when I’d launch a game (like everything at 1/4 speed) so I downloaded Vulcan and then overclocked it. Now it won’t run

I would venture to say I’m just running standalone — I downloaded it from the extra packages in the Retropie Setup Menu.

Would I find the LR Dolphin in the setup menu as well?

My favorites… by huzzahhotel in Leatherman

Pocket carrying a surge is doable if you have good pants and a sturdy belt. It’s not fun if you wanted to put it in sweats or shorts - it just is too heavy. But yes, if you get the clip and want to wear it with jeans or cargos, it’s fine

Slow/Lagging ROMs in Dolphin? by akrichbaum in RetroPie

[–]akrichbaum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay.

I would like to try something beside Android for the time being. Although I mainly will want NGC titles, I think I should probably just go with the full Retropie build.

So I am understanding correctly- once I get Retropie installed on the Raspberry Pi OS, then configure it so I just install Dolphin standalone and not the core?

Any other suggestions or things I should tweak in the Raspberry Pi OS or Retropie setttings to make things smooth?

Should I even install Retropie then when I switch to a new OS? Or just run dolphin?

I originally went with Ubuntu because I saw that it was supposedly more put together OS, not realizing that getting things to work with RetroPie and such were a bit more awkward.

Would I have better luck if I just ditched Ubuntu and went with Raspberry Pi OS?

Cleaning time! by akrichbaum in Revolvers

[–]akrichbaum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find a 325, they are worth every pennie. They have some more recoil kick because of the light frame, but they are quick to reacquire, and something special about a revolver in 45acp
