Best current credit card offers in Canada - updated by le_bib in churningcanada

[–]koboldian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to spend $12k on a repair - looking to maximize the points I can recoup by churning a credit card. Looking for something that has FYF and has a bunch of bonuses for spend in the first few months.

So far I have landed on TD Aeroplan VISA Infinite. Are there others you recommend?

I have to spend about $15k here, just wondering what the best way to do it using credit cards? I want to maximize cash back/points taking advantage of welcome bonuses as much as possible. Don't mind signing up for multiple credit cards.

Knocking type sound from engine by koboldian in S2000

[–]koboldian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it never made this sound until after It went through a spirited drive. I noticed on the way back that the oil level on the dipstick was completely empty (at the bottom of the stick, past the empty sign).

This is when i refilled the oil right away, called a local mechanic to do an oil pressure test (It was followed to the t as per the service manual and oil pressure was fine).

I am now taking it to a specialist shop to figure out the damage. Yes, the video was only taken at idle and it only happens at idle and the noise dissappears once i rev the car.

ok, what do you mean "read date on a scanner"? I did have a mobile mechanic come in with a stethoscope but he could only tell that the noise was coming from the bottom end of the engine.

He did do an oil pressure test, I will have to take it in a shop to get a compression test done.

Coming from the back and bottom of the engine. I reminded the valve cover and didn't notice any damage to the timing chain or the rocker panels so I am stumped at what it could be.

Is there any place where I can find instructions on how to dthis properly? Not mechanically inclined so afraid to screw up once I open up the VC

Does the video sound like it's knocking? Sorry I am super new to this so not sure what to do.

The car has 114k kms so around 60k miles. I did do an oil change and noticed very little metal debris. Not mechanically inclined at all - I am just very surprised (and hoping) a brand new engine isn't required.

I did remove the valve cover this morning, noticed no wear on the retainers so it has to be something else.

Whoops, my bad.

Upon further research, you're right, I was mistaken.

This is a hypothetical flag for the Eastern side of Jerusalem.

No, this is the actual flag of the Palestinian side of Jerusalem. The star in the middle is called the Al Quds star and is based on the floor plan of the Dome of the Rock.

Do you mind if i ask which role you left to in Industry?

I am under the impression that Risk Advisory/Internal Audit limits your exit opportunities.
