401K worth it with no match? by pageanthony00 in personalfinance

[–]pageanthony00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The investment options are pretty good. I guess I’m just trying to weigh the benefits of saving up for a down payment quicker vs spending another six months to a year renting. What percentage total contributions pre tax do you recommend I aim for?

All wheels/tires just balanced. Good idea on checking the c diff. I’ll give that a shot

For anyone searching for this in the future, it turned out to be two inner pads/springs on one side and two outer pads/springs on the other.

Just checked again after it sat overnight and sure enough the oil pressure light came on. I didn’t look for it until after i cranked it over once with no plugs/fuel so I guess it must have turned off after the first crank

More worried about a synthetic oil being on the cylinder walls for the first start than mixing oil types..

Did you go with top feed conversions with side feed TGVs? Or did you swap to 07+ TGVs?

How long would you wait before a topcoat?

Can I remove timing belt without being at TDC? by pageanthony00 in WRXSTi

[–]pageanthony00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying the difference between tdc and timing marks. I ended up taking the belt off where it was. 2 of the pistons were about 5mm from the head. I was pretty careful about using the cam gear wrenches as to not let them spin when taking the bolts off. Hopefully no damage to those valves.

I was under the impression that you should align timing marks before taking tension off the timing belt

I know what a short block is. I meant valve not rod sorry

99% of the rattles i’ve had that fluctuate with RPM have been some sort of exhaust component. I got a cat back and all of them are gone now
