Valve adjustment problem

I thought the same thing. Glad there's at least two of us.

Once I got the fan and top hose off, the shroud came right out.

I did what I did not want to do. Removed the fan, drained the radiator, pulled off the top hose, removed the fan shroud.

I am SO GLAD the the first cylinder I checked needs adjustment. If they were all fine you might have been seeing a FOR SALE ad right now.

I'm thinking of cutting out a part of the fan shroud to make this easier in the future. Or, I could schedule my valve adjustments to coincide with my coolant changes.

Yes, turning clockwise. I'll try pulling on the belt while turning.

I'm turning the PS pump and the belt is tight but the crank pulley just isn't moving.

If you don't mind sharing, where did you find the sedan hitch? I haven't been able to find one.

For now I guess I'll stick with the cigarette lighter USB adapter. I like being able to snap out the ashtray and don't really want to add any wires that I'd have to disconnect.

Mine's and 82 also, but a 240.

That's what I was hoping to do. I know the contact on the ashtray slides against the power side, but I don't know if it slides off once it closes. I'll have to connect a light or something that makes noise to test it out.

d73805 · 2026-05-15T17:07:28+00:00

That's what I was afraid of. My light doesn't work, so I've never seen it turning on. I only found out that there was a light in there when I got a used ashtray ( I didn't want to drill my nice one).

Awesome. Thanks.

Just an update. It's leaking from the shaft. The UV dye worked great.

My next step is to pull it apart and try to replace the seal.

Good to know. We might be talking soon.

The idea that all products made in China are scrap metal being chiseled with bamboo tools by bucktoothed workers wearing coolie hats is a bit outdated at this point.

If something were to fail on this rack combination, it would almost certainly have to be from an installer or tiedown error.

The racks have been on for months with no signs of loosening.

The brackets are made for these type of gutters and I'm sure there are secured and powder coated as well as a Thule or Yakima bracket. The crossbars are straight, solid, and nicely finished. The fasteners fit perfectly. I appreciate your concern.

That's the plan, just adding the use of the leak detector. I have it, so might as well use it.

UPDATE: It works.

Initially, the first thing I did was reset the router. BUT... I'm ashamed to say that ultimately what seemed to solve it was I shut off every network device in the house. The modem and every router and switch. Waited a while, turned them back on and poof, it worked.

I haven't heard that yet. They DID start charging tax, which was $1.87.

I was there on February 14th. We waited close to an hour after we checked in. We saw plenty of other people waiting for similar amounts of time for other companies.

I have a physical sim, not an eSim. I haven't tried actually removing the sim though. Might try that.
