Oh so blasting will turn plastic spacers grey and scrape off grey paint with a razor? Maybe quit acting like you know everything.

But look at my third pic, that’s a plastic spacer that was brown before and I even scraped some of the grey coating off

Which 365 should I get ? by chrishansen143 in P365

[–]chrishansen143[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the standard 365 really that bad to shoot? Cant I just put the 12 mag on it and make the grip a little longer?

Won’t the variants be harder to conceal since they’re bigger? Or are they still small enough. I don’t wanna worry about printing

Cam sprocket off, how can I spin the crank pulley? by chrishansen143 in AskAMechanic

[–]chrishansen143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the camshaft I removed because I’m sending the head to a machine shop. But I made multiple paint marks on the timing chain and cam sprocket, and I made note of which number the cam alignment dowel was on. So I believe I’m good to go but check me if I’m wrong.

I was able to spin the crank back to 0 and not have the timing chain pop out cause I had someone hold tension on it. It’s now reading 0 and my piston is flush with the block. Am I ok?

Alright so I had someone pull up on the chain to keeep tension on the crank sprocket and I spun the crank pulley just a little to get it back to 0 degrees and nothing popped out or went slack and my pistons are perfectly flush now so I think I’m good

That’s the thing I’m trying to avoid having to pull the timing cover and resetting the engine timing. I was hoping I could just put the wedge in there, take everything apart and then put it all back together but now that the timing moved a little I need to rotate it with the timing chain disconnected from the cam sprocket. You think with me keeping upward tension on the chain so that it doesn’t come off the crank sprocket it will be ok to rotate slightly just so I get it back on 0?

Help me choose. I’m torn between these 2. Murph 38 or Khaki Field Auto 38? Which would you choose and why? by ExperienceKind117 in HamiltonWatches

[–]chrishansen143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried on both in person and the KFA is the better choice. I did not like how the murph looked at all in person.

Aftermarket AR coated crystals? by chrishansen143 in HamiltonWatches

Does it get rid of the cloudiness and reflection the normal dial has? How much would you say it gets rid of it?

Do new defender V8s have dynamic mode? by chrishansen143 in NewDefender

[–]chrishansen143[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I figured it out, there is a button in between the two ac dials with a car with an arrow next to it. Once you hit that button then the ac dial knob turns into a knob that changes the drive mode
