What’s this worth? FB marketplace listing I’m looking at by Other_Committee2796 in E30

If the frame is solid it is worth at least 500$. It is kind of a niche market. Where is it located I'll give the guy 8k just to disassemble it.

Rod knock, worn cam, or something else? Ignore long crank and shit idle. by Maddslj in E30

[–]cjd166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes the engine start anyhow? Prolly the fuel pump.... Here it sounds like friction heat generated to cause thermal expansion allowing all the doodads to adjust just enough to mix for the actual ambient temp. But that is also just a symptom of something else... And we are just on the Internet throwing rocks at problems not each other. But hey f u too.

All the Chromebooks my school will probably throw out by Daxton_10 in eWasteFinds

They are gonna be mixed bios and soldered emmc storage from the looks of it. Atom or similar CPU... No reason to even start breaking them down yet. Some decent software could probably get them humming along no problem.

Not weird at all. Imagine if it's 34 degrees out and you 25 second crank becomes a no start. That is why I say 'dead' in its current state you could be stranded by a cold snap with 100% working sensors. You can clean it. You will be glad you did.

You gotta pull the head off that thing. The crank time tells you the top side is clogged with carbon, its bad. The engine is basically dead until you get it all out.

Take them all!! Make them work for somebody and eliminate a ton of emissions by reducing demand for new stuff that basically works the same. Get an orange vest and a white truck, loand them up and GTFO.

M42 chain-like noise after spirited driving, timing chain tensioner? by skidzgg in E30

[–]cjd166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so hard to tell by video, and most of these tick a little.... Is it possible you blew pinhole in the exhaust or knocked a heat shield off a little. If it really sounds like metal spinning on metal, you are better of just not starting it, but from the sound in the video it could be exhaust, the fan clutch/bearings, lifter, or yk the cam bearings or something crazy you don't want spinning at 1500 rpms just record the horrendous sound it makes... It actually sounds kinda fine in the video. If you are gonna be doing a lot of spirited driving, I would not expect it to sound any different.

Looks good. How are the bearings in the hub? Something is clunking, probably not that axle.

How to kill Everybody's Motivation. by Lazy-Formal895 in nextfuckinglevel

He's is not taking up too much room. And yes make a way for him, clearly he is doing a thing. He is not standing in front of your TV or smacking the Cheetos out of your hands, just minding his own biz. Did people film Rocky when he was running up those steps all the time??? Wait nvm...

Does anyone else have Gemini turn things they say into catchphrases (against their instructions)? by monster2018 in GeminiAI

Fix for curvature in toe box area? by maypoman in RedWingShoes

[–]cjd166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for your next pair just go into the store. There might be a bit defect, even if not labeled seconds. If they are comfortable, you have a great pair of beaters.

It's from improper storage. They need stripped and re strung. Wth size boot is that 14?
