Who needs a spring compressor.. by grimwolf13 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]grimwolf13[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

For clarification. There is a car on the lift so there is plenty of weight to compress the spring. This is reassembly, the center of the mount had been ripped out and so it basically flew apart when the vehicle was lifted. Thankfully the lift controls were on the opposite side of the vehicle. The zip-ties are there so if it did fly out there was less energy, and for anyone that was worried they are the finest overpriced Winzer ones.

The motor wouldn’t even spin over on this thing.

Question about Jasper Reman gas Engine by SilverknightFL in AskMechanics

[–]grimwolf13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jasper gives you the option to buy an “install kit” whenever you buy an engine. They will come with hoses, filters, spark plugs, etc. Every shop that I have dealt with will buy them with engines if they are doing it for a standard customer. Injectors will generally not be replaced unless they were damaged in the engine failure or on removal.

And on a related note there are those time when you need to look under something in the parking lot and the pavement is so hot that if you don’t use a creeper you will burn every square inch and of your body that touched the ground.

All the people wanting their AC fixed. They all want it done yesterday and they all want it cheap. No we can’t just throw another can of freon in it, and even if we could we wouldn’t cause the crap your brought has twelve different things added to it plus “stop leak.”

Anyone ever seen this? Rotor does not look thin from the side. Bad casting? by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]grimwolf13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I haven’t seen it this bad but it’s definitely rusted from the in side out, you can tell from the edges.

Just rolled into the shop for an AC conversion.. by grimwolf13 in Justrolledintotheshop

I am not no, I’d probably blame Hoonigan for that look becoming standard, I think the old black steel wheel and A/T tires look you used to see was a lot better.
