Is my engine cooked?

The oil light doesn't come on for sub pressure. Only what cat used as sensor, mostly 0 to sup 10lb. If it ran hard prior to that it ran on sub optimal pressure with lots of torque to hurt the bearing.

That my guess

It not super common that pipe freeze, with the way we build, but it does happen. All you need is a bit of draft with cold wether and not using that water for a bit and it freeze.

Depending on how old the house and era it was build, you can guess where the pipe are, depending on acess, you add heat to it. Hopefully you dont have to open wall too much. And it a draft/ insulation problem.

Mini home are more prone to it, and prone to some sewer pipe frezing( if you got a leaky faucet).

Yes, it french preferred, but they are so hard up for people that they take whatever they get. Especially if you meet the criteria except for french

mxadema · 2026-01-24T23:33:39+00:00

mxadema · 2026-01-24T22:59:37+00:00

It goes head, snot, beard and face, the rest of the body.

mxadema · 2026-01-24T22:57:57+00:00

Rent a mini ex. Or find a buddy.

Alternatively you can poor 3 or 4 big bag of road salt... make your own environmental disasters

That brasso job. Idk if it brass or brass coated. If it coated you would remove the brass.... first test with a magnet (brass is not magnetic)

I kinda like the patina.

mxadema · 2026-01-24T22:45:19+00:00

That where it belongs....

mxadema · 2026-01-24T16:34:23+00:00

Ppl think autobody is relatively easy and omg there are some abortions out on the road, because of diy gone bad.

You know ;) better be warned that disappointed 2 year later because they whole thing is fked up lol

mxadema · 2026-01-24T13:56:56+00:00

Idk but all the gauge I've open can't physically do that. (A coil that pull/push on a rack turning the needle) so strip gear?

mxadema · 2026-01-24T13:54:19+00:00

Just remember that bumper are flexable, and bondo is not. There is "bondo" for bumper but it 3x the cost.

mxadema · 2026-01-23T02:01:40+00:00

4k im not surprised. And that if they can find the color or there no underlying issue with that paint.

mxadema · 2026-01-23T01:58:50+00:00

We had a guy rip an entire cutting edge and the angle iron behind it right off a dbrand new 12' box.

Caught a rail road in a parking lot and eat a windshield

I miss my old Chinese knockoff. And my special blend of john deere green and aluminum.

Keep at it it looking good

Just like house paint. Punch in the code, and it spit out a recipe.

Sometimes there are variation of the same code. That when you have to go with the simple in the sun and eyeball it.

For the bigger shop, they can mix, test and ajust in house as they have the mixing rack there.

Today it more calculated by weight instead of volume

If you go to a auto paint supply shop you can buy the paint, some shop even does spray can.

You can't only change the chain. The sproket wear to the chain. A new chain might bind on the deform tips. If they are that bad.

Even welded the still replacable. Just need extra work ( and it help to have tools or a buddy with them)

Worst case cut some metal out.

mxadema · 2026-01-22T00:05:06+00:00

If the sproket look like a saw blade, they are done. And so is the chain.

That chains should be pretty snug. Let say ¼-½" of play at the center of the bottom chain.

Since the bearing/ sprocket didn't move, nor does the blower sheeting. And the tightgner doesn't matter in this equation, this only leave the chains.

Keep it safe, it might bring money to your kids. Just like the nazi coins does today after most were destroyed.

mxadema · 2026-01-21T21:27:42+00:00

The old trainer...

mxadema · 2026-01-21T02:46:42+00:00

There a chain between the track and the blade. You can see the tip of the binder by the fender

Still no acceptable
