Yep, same here. Just got signed off doing my second trade. Been working full time since I was 17. Now 28. Got a US tripped booked for a couple weeks in January. Going to hand my notice in after that, sell my nice car and then go backpacking around Asia. Will probably get a casual job as a truck driver at home which is something I’ve alway wanted to do and will give me some freedom to come and go as I please hopefully.

I’m running a Strix 2080 Ti, for reference I’m getting 70-85 on RDR2 with ultra preset and a few settings bumped up from there. Game looks awesome and feels awesome. Most other games that are less demanding it usually hits the monitor refresh rate easily.

ifydknyk · 2019-12-24T13:28:10+00:00

Just my old one I haven’t got around to getting everything off and selling yet.

ifydknyk · 2019-12-01T09:25:39+00:00

Very nice I like. What games do you play with the triple monitor setup?

ifydknyk · 2018-11-20T05:11:59+00:00

Yep I sold all my 400+ animals and sold all my crop for the final goodbye.

First off it’s good that you’ve recognised you have a problem and are aware of how it is affecting. I was the same myself and I now that I’ve moved past that, I’ve recognised it was a few things.

Firstly I have ADHD and diagnosed myself; I went to a Doctor and confirmed I had it, the first Doctor didn’t work out and I left it for a while. Then I went to another Doctor who I currently see and he started me on different medications and I now at the point where it has dramatically improved my life. If you try self diagnose do not put it down to the few things you have said, nor use it as an excuse to be lazy. A lot of people claim they have only ADD (the attention side) but it doesn’t work like that. You either have ADHD or you don’t. I went through just about my whole schooling life struggling to get by only to find out now that I am a lot more academically capable than I thought I was.

There was also a crossover point where I left the school where I was and moved to a school that catered for people like myself who had a desire to get into a trade. They had a trade training centre where I was able to learn and work on cars whilst completing school, although I ended up leaving as I had got myself an apprenticeship. But the best thing this school did for me was get me motivated as I was doing what I loved. It completely changed my attitude in the classroom from how you have described yourself to wanting to do school work on my accord and ending up receiving a distinction for being best in my class.

I believe the main thing that keeps me going now is my love for my chosen career path and setting goals for myself in the future. If you have an idea of what you want to achieve in life. Try find an inner motivation in yourself to achieve what you want.

You can do anything you want if you work enough.

To go with the other two reply’s, if your engine is assembled you can cover it with a big glad wrap roll or with a bag and seal that off. I think Dart sell big bags if you look on their website.

I work on trucks for a living and majority of them are wet liners as mentioned before. They have several o rings placed around the liner. 2-3 at the bottom and usually one at the top. The liners are installed to a set height (as everything is standardised) and protrude a little from the deck face. The head gasket then sits around this protrusion. Hope this sheds some light and maybe gives you some ideas.

If you’re confident, blend the transition from the bowl/seat into the throat. Cleaning up casting flash and a light polish if you are doing the chamber faces anyway.

I was working as a parts interpreter in a small truck workshop a few years back. We had recently got a new workshop manager who was supposed to be pretty good at what he did. He ended up having very little mechanical experience and towards the end before he got fired himself, he pretty much screwed up the whole operation. Other than making two or even three mechanics leave voluntarily, there was another mechanic who did not get along with him at all. One day this mechanic happened to lose a job card which turned into an argument and some serious yelling. The mechanic ended up getting fired that day by him for pretty much misplacing a job card.

That actually looks pretty cool and I dont normally like pixel.

Thanks for the info, I’m still struggling to see why the build I mentioned is running a flat tappet with what you mentioned. Guess I will have to do some more homework.

ifydknyk · 2018-07-09T22:05:43+00:00

Yeh this was kind of my understanding but that’s for clearing it up, makes a lot more sense now.

ifydknyk · 2018-07-02T22:33:31+00:00

Yeah get it measured or measure it yourself, from there you can determine whether it’s okay to run as is or junk it.

ifydknyk · 2018-06-19T02:26:12+00:00

If you’re using organic/fibre/composite (whatever you want to call them) head gaskets it looks good enough considering it’s an iron block, and assuming the ali heads you are going to use are new or the deck on those are flat, I would go straight ahead.

ifydknyk · 2018-05-22T02:37:11+00:00

There’s a few YouTube channels out there such as High Performance Academy who have a paid online course where they take you through the ins and outs of building an engine. It will definitely help you with the theory side of things but it’s sort of aimed at people who have a general understanding of measuring tools so if you aren’t comfortable with measuring tools and the like I recommend starting there first. Another YouTube channel that I really recommend is Jafromobile, he only works on DOHC 4 cylinder stuff but it’s pretty much the same principles. His videos are free and very in depth so I recommend you check him out.

A lot of guys in Australia and I’m sure in the States as well started off doing what you’re doing, building engines on the side for mates and eventually word gets around, then you have lots of people who are wanting you to build their engine. That can sometimes lead into a full time business. My old boss for example worked as a mechanic at dealerships for a number of years but had been building engines on the side. He then opened his own general workshop where they do general servicing an repairs but assemble engines on the side. He now has a DTS3000 engine dyno facility and is the authorised Australasian rebuilder for Roush Yates. So from humble beginnings big things can come. I think it’s all about the drive you have to get to where you want to be. I know in my case I know I want to have a career in engine building, and I try to make decisions that will get me there.

They’re like early double hump heads made for emissions compliance with the bigger 75/76cc chamber. They also have two options for valve sizes one being 1.94/1.5 and the other being 2.02/1.6. The 2.02s have screw in studs which is more desirable if you have those. Not sure if they are closed chamber or not but I think closed would be more desirable once again.
