I don't need no stinkin' access door. then customers could fix them at home. at work(gas station), I have a small shop too but no lift, which is funny cause I do trannies among other things.Originally posted by Willy View PostFuel pump?
Like putting in an access door to get at the pump or one to access a heater core would be a selling feature. I suppose if they leave them out it is good incentive to trade up to a new/newer car. Most new car buyers only keep their current ride for 3-5 years max so I suppose those folks won't be interested in paying for an "ease of service" feature they'll never need.
Oh well it's good for ramping up the labor portion of the bill come fix-it time.

Chasing what I thought was a coil/ spark issue on the oc3. It turned out to be a radiator leak that was soaking the coi with fan blow by. I’m a bit surprised the coil is so sensitive to moisture.

still working on my daughter's bike rack, just a couple of brackets to make before I can JB Weld it together.
Cleaned the cassette and swapped the chain on my bike. Once I get back from a ride with my youngest I'll swap out the disks and pads on my commuter. I don't think 16,000 miles on the disks and 9000 miles on the pads is bad. Could have run them for longer but I'm tired of playing Jingle Bells with the brakes at every red light.Comment

Took my Father and FIL to an antique tool show and picked up a couple odds and ends. Some morse tapers adapters 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4, some sharpening stones, a center finding square, and a Pi tape and a couple slipjoint and linesman pliers to modify for other purposes. Could have spent a pile of money there, but reined myself in. Both had a good time, and want to go back to the fall show again.Comment

If it wasn't done the hard way, I didn't do it.

Started binge watching Game of Thrones this weekend. I never really got into it before so I never bothered with it but I decided to give it another try and after episode 4 or 5, it started to click and noticed I was craving more and more...
So far I've polished off season 1 and a few episodes from season 2.Comment

I think one of our cats knows summer is coming, or at least the white stuff on the ground is gone and little animals are running and flying around outside. I wanted to capture all of the chattering he was doing with his mouth but I missed it. I did get a little but of tail excitement through.

Started resurrecting an old cast iron Briggs motor.
Got it to run, but found that it turns over stiffly. Crankshaft turns free near TDC and BDC, stiffest at half stroke (which is where the leverage is worst). Seems like piston is tight. Bore is perfect, no scuffing, lots of oil (most of which I squirted in to free it up). No ridge, so it is either low hours or has been re-worked and ridge cut out. Compression seems good, not measured.
I'm starting to wonder if someone put an up-size piston in without boring to size. Piston will not move radially, which mostly they do. Rings might be stuck, I suppose. Will have to pull out the piston and look.CNC machines only go through the motions.

It's often difficult to follow with so many characters and several kingdoms, but it gets easier half way through season 1. For those curious, here is a really good season 1 overview which gives you a good idea what Games of Thrones is all about.Originally posted by 3 Phase Lightbulb View Post

I may have to watch that GOT wrap up on youtube. Just to reacquaint myself with all the names if nothing else. Thanks Adrian.
