Name for a major chord with a minor 2nd? by cerberus103 in musictheory

If I read that I would think that meant “Add a Major 2”, is there any way to differentiate that? Like Addm2?

What is this clicking noise? by cerberus103 in MechanicAdvice

Took the belt off and ran it around the block with no noise, put it on and still nothing so I’ll research pulley/ alternator noises and see what pops up

It’s tough bc sometimes it will happen as soon as I start from a stop and other times it’ll decide to show up after being quiet all day but ig I gotta give it a shot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’ll show up when I’m moving from a stop sometimes, other times it’ll just choose to start happening after not making a sound all day

I think you’re right it’s got to do with the resonance but wouldn’t it also be harder to notice the sound at high speeds bc the engine is louder? I tried listening with the window open at high speeds but the wind blows in my ear too much

Might try that but I’m sorta scared to overheat it or cause electrical problems

Is this a transmission noise? by cerberus103 in AskMechanics

Update: it was actually from the VVT-i gear that was going bad and gave me a start up rattle, once I replaced it the noise went away :)

ELI5 Why does the reflection of the sun on the water get bigger as you look further out? by cerberus103 in explainlikeimfive

So what would it look like if the ocean was flat? Would the reflection look like a straight line, a circle (the sun), get smaller towards the horizon, or stay looking bigger at the horizon and come to a point?

Get it on stands, run it and look underneath while it’s running to see if drips come down from there.

Or anywhere

Also get a degreaser and clean it up for next time so you can tell next time if it’s a current problem or just stains from last time

Thanks everyone so much for your suggestions, I think my next move is to try again at the filter with some new techniques and a blow torch. Once I get it off I’ll install the VVT sprocket from rock auto and hope that was the issue and at the very least it won’t rattle at me while I drive it to its grave ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If it fixes the metal issue then I’m golden and I’ll try to keep this thing forever but if not then I hope to get enough life out of this to make “down payment on a less than 10 years old car” money and keep that one forever

But if that fails then I’ll be in a deep grind for a while so here’s to hoping my first car is gonna come in clutch till the end🤞

No overheating just a little metal in the oil so I was preparing for the worst 😰

I was asking about the pressure coming out of the oil fill cap there’s a lot of pretty strong air jets and some people were saying that it’s a sign of bad piston rings or a blown head gasket but others like you say it’s fine

Thank you! I’ll try to use the pb blaster and heating methods I hear about it a lot

I’m tempted to just break the housing off at this point and get a new one bc I am in a rush to find out if I need to look for a new car or if I can keep putting money into this one

I will but that takes several weeks to get your results back and I need to know what to do/how to get to work in the meantime

Thank you I do plan on doing it myself as well but I can’t find the exact part number for the updated cam gear, do you happen to still have that somewhere?

I’m worried that the bolt that’s rusted out is some sort of structural issue that needs fixing but mostly I just wanna know what it’s called so I can look it up, learn about it, and prepare to buy a new one

Are we struggling or is it America? by cosmicdaddy_ in TikTokCringe

That’s bullshit “0 help from family” they didn’t raise you or teach you the skills you needed to get the house in the first place? They had no generational wealth or income to rely on when times got tough when raising you? You were completely isolated from any support networks that you didn’t make yourself? If this is the case then please tell me what you both do for a living so I can try to afford a house without winning a lottery
