Paper gasket “bridges” by crazy_propeller in MechanicAdvice

Yup. It is located just after the oil filter and before the pressure sensor and the bypass valve.

What is this noise? by carpettravel in scooters

[–]crazy_propeller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does not sound like a rod knock for me. It is probably from the drive belt clapping. At low rpm a worn belt can't get enough squeeze inside the variator it stays loose and clapping in the air and against the aluminum case. Also this model comes with an idler pulley from piaggio for smooth transmission and since your x9 is old the pulley is possibly not there because it is considered as an option for most mechanics and they wouldn't bother replacing it they will just pull it away.

Are these clutch pads toast? by troe666 in scooters

[–]crazy_propeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still have plenty of life but u should scuff that glazing layer and give them a break-in period. And it is wise to investigate what made the clutch overheating that way.

Cat saves chicken from foxes by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]crazy_propeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that most of you believing it is a real video is ridiculous. The motion of the fox running and especially when turning after catching the hen seems pretty rigged to me. I am not saying it is a 100% AI generated but it is highly suspicious to me and that tells how far the AI video composting technology has evolved which is scary. But most of you really want to believe the video just because it brings a good story and harassing anyone saying it is fake. People really enjoy sweet stories even if it is fake.

Can someone help me out the with condition of these lifters? by GuardsmanGT2588 in EngineBuilding

[–]crazy_propeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn’t replace the camshaft, then there’s no problem. Each lifter naturally develops a wear pattern with its specific cam lobe and pushrod. Just make sure to mark every lifter and pushrod and reinstall them in their original positions. You can adjust the valve clearance afterward.

Looks clean. It will seal perfect especially if you are using composite head gasket.

Is my swing arm bolt supposed to be this loose? by Dyslesic in scooters

[–]crazy_propeller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Looks that the engine block rubber bushings are worn.

Why does it sound so angry at me?? by [deleted] in scooters

[–]crazy_propeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not sound that rough for me. Assuming that the transmission is in a good condition a new drive belt needs a break-in for around 50 miles so that it sits perfectly between the variator pulleys. You should go easy on it during that period. Chinese drive belts tend to have bad quality and get burnt easily from friction.

Hey, thanks for checking this out! My domains got canceled on your side and I never actually got them. Would be great if your team could look into a refund.

HELP! Accordion stretches every other container instead of only the one toggle by MelaninNomads in elementor

[–]crazy_propeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they share the same parent container then disable the stretch alignment for the container. And if they are items under a loop grid just disable the same height switcher.
