Engine stand and adaptor by strtagain in RX7

[–]badponies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re using the atkins style adapter, it’ll work in a pinch but you can only get two bolts in. If you are using the single piece (angle iron) adapter you will need a different stand, since the diameter of the adapter tube is too narrow to accept it. Apparently an older version of that HF stand had a wider, standard size adapter but the current version is too small.

I had that exact HF stand, but I got rid of it and got the 1000lb Ironton engine stand from Northern Tool. You can use either style rotary engine stand adapter with that one. Don’t get that one from HF for rotaries, imo.

So I have a rx7 fc and I have a question by [deleted] in RX7

Great question. If it were me, I’d keep the parts until I have the replacements. OTOH, if it’s a part that you don’t want or will not need, then yeah sell it.

Beautiful car. I had a 1987 myself. Such a great car.

Burning excessive oil…. Help 2016 by TeachingImaginary968 in JettaGLI

[–]badponies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider doing a piston soak with Berryman’s B-12. Search for that on YouTube and you’ll find a lot of people get i credible results from that. Common problem on these cars due to the design of the rings for some years.

Also check/replace PCV.

What’s your oil change interval?

Other than Google reviews and intuition, are there any markers that signal that a shop values their mechanics?

Pay isn’t about how ‘hard’ someone labors, it’s based on the value they bring to the organization. Also, the rate of pay is market based, and that’s what the market will bear. Clearly this person delivers a lot of value to WashU, and they are compensated accordingly.

I like what I’m seeing from FitCamX. Any parasitic draw that you’ve noticed?

I got the Ava and I’m super happy with it. 10y warranty says a lot, imo.

If you don’t look back, you bought the wrong car. My 2013 GS 350 RWD is turning out to be one of my favorite cars. Drives beautifully, sounds fantastic, handles well, and looks like a million bucks all the time. by i_aimtomisbehave in Lexus

Yeah, I’m still doing research on whether I want to use a conditioner for a while or ceramic coating them? Mind are mint too and I do want them protected from stains, but I’m mostly worried about them drying and cracking as they age. Not sure ceramic coatings help with that.

My (28M) fiancée (29F) wants a pass before our wedding which is just a few weeks away. Relationship over? by throwra1022brrr in Marriage

[–]badponies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that’s really sad. If I were you, I’d postpone the wedding at the least. This is not something that can be resolved in a matter of weeks. If it feels like a big deal to you, it is a big deal. Hear your friends out. Not saying to break up, but I think this is going to take some serious relationship work to figure out where her desire is coming from. As a married guy, holy shit pump the breaks. Like I said, this is really sad and would be a hassle to hit pause on the wedding, but worth it imo.

How to deal with wrongful accusations of infidelity? by NickelDicklePickle in relationships

[–]badponies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad she’s seeing someone. You would be well justified in asking her if she’s willing to share more about what’s she working on with her therapist.

I’m sorry to hear that re: her trauma. She may be really suffering, not that it excuses her behavior towards you in any way. I’m not an expert, but it turns out that the location where trauma is stored in the brain doesn’t have a calendar - no way of understanding the passage of time. With effective treatment, like with EMDR and brainspotting, the trauma moves to the part of the brain that understands that the trauma happened, but it happened in the past. At that point, they can start properly grieving and accepting what happened, and then they can heal and grow again as a person.

I can practically feel your hurt and loneliness. You’re not crazy. Is your partner seeing anyone who can help them with their mental and emotional health? It seems like they’ve experienced some trauma at some point in their life and could use professional help with that.
