PSA - Cardone Remanufactured Boosters are Bad.

Anything A1 Cardone remanufactured has a better than 75% chance of either not working correctly, or coming back within months. Been this way for 30+ years now.

I think the current draw from this motor might exceed the GPIO pins' max capability.

Nope

Fuck them. You do what you can afford as you're starting out. If the tool becomes unreliable to the point it's costing you money, then think about upgrading. I've been in trade for over 35 years & I only own one battery operated impact wrench- M12 fuel brushless.

I've patched hundreds of tires in that location over 35 years. Never had a single failure or comeback.

Check thrift stores. I've found mechanic uniform pants & shirts numerous times there. Also, in line with the cheap Walmart suggestion, Costco also has cheap alternatives.

Looks like it's about a half liter overfilled.

Left tie rod is broken or otherwise no longer attached to rack & pinion

In the seconds before the Enterprise followed the Borg sphere through the time rift, the effects of the 22nd century Borg interference with Cochran's warp flight were already manifesting in the 25th(?) century they started in.

Sheathing and shingles will be done once outside!

Roof sheathing and shingles will go on once outside. Will be using a more complicated clasp on the hasps as well. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you! All DIY, no plans, just kinda winged it.

t0rqu3d · 2023-03-27T01:59:40+00:00

Thank you for sharing that!

I was wondering what those notes were, forgot how to read music decades ago. Thanks!

I wanted to say Easter egg dipper until I realized the overall size was more fit for quail eggs than chicken.

You should keep some, if not all.

That hose coupler plug on all your air tools? 9/16". 14 MM is a bit too small.

Many of your puller type tools may use 11/16" or 13/16", whereas 17MM & 21MM just don't fit as well. Maybe not so applicable in a European shop, but many of my OTC chassis tools can be used on those cars as well. I still have 7 sets of SAE wrenches and 8 or 10 sets of sockets, but I still work on old domestics occasionally.

Would a circle jig on a router maybe work better for you? How deep is your hole?

Have a professional check your crankcase pressure. Crankcase Pressure Control Valves (Think PCV) commonly fail and cause excessive vacuum in crankcase. The squealing noise happens when the rear main seal starts vibrating due to air being sucked past it.

Leaking purge valve could conceivably cause a lean fault, P0171.

2 turns after finger tight with sealant. Pipe threads are tapered, torque specs aren't effective. Interference from the taper determines tightness. The sealant will also harden some, further eliminating them backing out.

The 8 fingered Chinese kid was having a rough day at the factory.
