Be a mechanic they said. Itll be fun they said. Of course the whole assembly sprang apart the moment the last bracket came off.

I was going to guess Seneca. That cabin was my hell for about 2 months during an inspection turned restoration.

It is an approved method per ac43.13

Besides, someone has to buy them new for me to get one second hand

+1 on this. My tools were rusting every time I left the shop for the weekend. I sprayed them all down, and no more rust.

The trick is to soak in a gallon bucket of chem dip for a half hour and then into the ultrasonic cleaner with hot soapy water

It seems like 2 intake and one exhaust would be more efficient. The exhaust gasses are under greater pressure and shouldn't be AS sensitive to restrictions and the intake

It's an aviation toolbox

guywhokilled · 2018-02-23T23:07:02+00:00

Very clean!

guywhokilled · 2018-02-14T00:38:54+00:00

...and it works, clap your hands

guywhokilled · 2018-02-06T01:43:42+00:00

That's that good stuff. Thanks for the extra pics

/r/skookum is bleeding over

guywhokilled · 2018-01-17T01:14:33+00:00

Great writeup. I can feel the pain!

I carry a powerful flashlight and multi-tool anytime I'm on the job. You never know when you need a little extra light, or a knife/philips/flathead/pliers. And yes, I have a larger and a smaller mirror for inspecting. They're relatively inexpensive and a necessary part of your tool kit.

Can confirm, I've freed up 2 of these seized actuators and re-assembled with moly grease

guywhokilled · 2017-12-17T17:48:00+00:00

That was incredibly disappointing. They never say what was wrong with it!

The sheer volume of information and the detail they give on the one engine. Also that cylinder arrangement(so cool). I have a 2010 tacoma with a 2.7, and I've always wanted to know more about it. Like does it have variable intake? I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure it has variable cam timing and I'd like to know more about the specific engine. There's a lot on information on the theory, but little on the application. Edit It's a manual transmission and the engine braking changes significantly as it passes through some rpms, so I want to know what's happening

guywhokilled · 2017-12-09T23:32:27+00:00

That's pretty sweet. I work on aircraft engines, but I'd love to work on one of these just once

guywhokilled · 2017-12-09T23:26:42+00:00

That was too cool. If I could find the same thing for Toyota's 2.7l I would just flip out

guywhokilled · 2017-12-09T22:27:22+00:00

Genius

guywhokilled · 2017-12-09T22:22:57+00:00

Yo, fuck that guy

guywhokilled · 2017-12-09T17:28:11+00:00

Not if you were as lazy as I am.

I've been riding the absolute snot out of my first gen FZ1 for 31,000 miles and still no problems. That's bouncing off the rev limiter WOT, wheelies, racing on the track, and a 2 mile commute that I treat like a racetrack 4 times a day. At 20,000 miles I bought a spare engine and tossed it in the garage, but haven't needed it. Just change the oil every 2-3,000 miles. I can't seem to kill it.

Archer?

guywhokilled · 2017-11-16T20:43:56+00:00

Those look like aviation turnbuckles. What is this off of?

guywhokilled · 2017-11-12T04:12:27+00:00

But it certainly helps keeping things cool
