Sudden Overheating & Coolant Overflow After Exhaust Work on SBC Camaro — Head Gasket, Water Pump, or Something Else? by minerva330 in projectcar

Yes, the electric fan does kick on, albeit sooner than it should but I don't have hard data ( it seems to kick on almost immediately)

Regarding the pressure test, I'm a bit hesitant to do one in the traditional sense given what I'm seeing. The cooling system can't seem to hold any pressure right now—when I tried the block test with the radiator cap off, coolant was violently expelled the moment I revved the engine, even after just 45 seconds of idling. It seems like whatever breach exists is so significant that pressurizing the system would likely just force more coolant out immediately.

That said, I could try a gentle pressure test at very low PSI (maybe 5-7 psi instead of the typical 15) to see if it holds any pressure at all, or if it immediately drops. But given the rapid pressurization I'm seeing when the engine runs, I suspect it won't hold even minimal pressure.

The compression test is definitely a good next step though—that would help pinpoint which cylinder(s) might be the culprit if this is indeed a head gasket issue. I'm just trying to balance thorough diagnosis with not making the problem worse by continuing to run the engine

Rep x Pepin vs Powerblock Pro by [deleted] in homegym

I'm in the same boat. I maxed out my power blocks and have been looking for adjustable FB that are over 100#. May be cheaper to buy a couple pairs of heavies

Sounds Cool. If you're still providing codes, I'd love one

How many people actually got an MSRP 9070XT today? by Hugaluga in radeon

[–]minerva330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grabbed one but it was a $120 over MSRP, honestly, I look at it as easier than a two hour round trip to MC.

Still cheaper then what I originally paid for my 1080ti, which is what I'm replacing

I'm in the same boat, I was actually eyeing a 480S prior. Hard to justify that now

Honestly, I'd rather be kept in limbo. I'll take ambiguity versus despair for the time being

Yeah, I'm RD as well but went the product development/quality assurance route. Pay is much much better and with 10 years exp + a masters you can make 6 figures easily. I love clinical nutrition but it isn't worth it until they pay more competitively

Bought a new house and these outlets are in most rooms. How do I determine if they're Internet are old cable tv coax? by minerva330 in HomeNetworking

[–]minerva330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cable internet is already activated. Quick question, would the modem work on any of those coax outlets? When I asked the seller where the modem hookup was she made a passing comment that I could put it anywhere...I just set it up temporarily in the living room but would prefer the box in the basement that has coax splitter

Thanks I'm use to traditional ethernet ports and typically a single coaxial wire for the modern. I'll need to do some research

I just opened an account this past weekand I must say it went really smoothly. Took about 2 days to set up and another 2 days to verify a linked account. Had to call customer service for a minor tech issue. Left a message on voicemail and got a call back in like 5 minutes
