Ontopic The new car-seching thread

[Domon]

I had posted about these here, a while back. You guys were "non-commentary". They're not magic, the "weld" is just a braze. But cool for some projects. Probably best for aesthetics vs. strength. Unless you want to stress test every piece.

easier than actually brazing. I watched that video way back though, and some of them were absolute shit. Brand definitely mattered.

Brand definitely mattered.

True - tiny mix changes make huge differences in metals. The shit companies apparently don't experiment and tweak in hopes of being known as "the good shit". Its good people do these tests. You could/can get the wrong impression just because you got a shit brand.

Tractor parts are here. WOOP WOOP

Just gotta go get some 10W-30

 

[Valve1138]

Dumb question.

I've got an unopened 2 year old quart of 10W-30 on the shelf.

Still fine to use?

Check the expiration date.
Dummy - average tractor has older oil than that in the crankcase. It's fine.

Yes, it's fine.

Considering it spent 10 bajillion years below ground, I'm sure it's fine for 2 years in a bottle aboveground.

@Valve1138 probably can relate to that one...

 

[Valve1138]

Just wanted to ask.

I wanted avoid a @Jehannum and have to change the oil 3 more times because of a fuck up.

I should change the break-in oil in the Datsun, thanks for reminding me.

 

[HipHugHer]

Just filter it through a cheesecloth.

I hope the chunks aren't that big, lol.

 

[Jehannum]

Printing up a bracket (in Taulman 910) for the necessary relays and fuses to get the new distributor in the GTO. Then I'll mount that to a plate and run wiring for the damned things.

Running a magnet through it might be interesting.

 

[Jehannum]

I hope not. The things that break in are the bearings, which shouldn't be worn down to the steel shells for a good long while.

Hopefully the pieces of camshaft are all flushed out by now.
