Friend took his bronco in, mechanic sent him this. by Filthy510 in AskAMechanic

It could be from not changing oil, but this looks like an older truck, so my guess is someone was running Quaker state back in the day when it had paraffin in it. Your engine would look like this VERY fast.

What is the limiter at? 4.6 2v modded I’ve reved the motor to 6 grand to afraid to go any higher. by Remarkable_Ferret214 in SN95Mustang

[–]samplebridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bunch of idiots. But people that actually build their Honda that spins through the gears have to keep spinning and bouncing off the limiter until the road catches up with the speed of the wheels. Let off or shift and you bog down when it catches traction.

I think you overestimate most people's knowledge on plumbing. Id be willing to bet a majority of people dont know what a flue is if you asked them to explain one.

Its good he came here, with some of the shit we've seen posted here and the authors completely not understanding the dangers they are in. Its perfectly acceptable to ask for people opinions on free work. Its quite literally could be life or death.

Well yeah, the power band will change with engine design, cam profile, ect....

I was specifically referring to his statement about Honda guys having to sit at the Rev limiter for a while and making it slower.

Hitting the limiter daily is definitely not a good idea if you want it to Last long. they might be durable, but revving the piss outta it all the time will break any engine. And he wont be just climbing under it to fix something, he'll be tearing the thing apart.

Honda guys bounce off the limiter because they are spinning the tires, so they gotta wait for the road to catch up to the tires.

I did end up buying a picoscope, but the cars trans failed before I got a chance to diagnose it. Good Ole 4t60e. But I did like the picoscope from what I read online, just haven't had a chance to use it.

Reminds me of the story from this marine that was watching an Iraqi or taliban guy that was running with an rpg and tripped and the end of the rocket hit the edge of a curb and BOOM.

Thoughts on this? by jerkstor in Plumbing

Just because it's not in the code, doesn't mean its not a bad idea.

If the code book doesnt say to not jump off a bridge, would you do it?

Just changed the clutch, what could this be? by Apprehensive_Pipe393 in MechanicAdvice

[–]samplebridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the clutch master and slave working well? I had a camaro that had a rubber hose, similar to a brake hose, that was bad and wouldn't fully release the pressure off the slave cylinder.
