Red? That's an interesting color for a gun. Have any examples of the color?

Hmm interesting color. Once I purchase or build a .308 I think I'm going with burnt bronze or FDE.

I looked at burnt bronze. Since there will be carbon fiber parts, I want something to offset that and make them look good

Will be a while. This isn't going to be a cheap build. Rather do the gun than finish my bumper. But I have a couple trips to take in the next 2 months so that is taking the money. The carbon fiber stuff is about $350-400. Trigger is $250, $350 for barrel, and gas system

I completely understand! I'm saving to buy a house in a couple months, plus I need to finish my 10/22 and Mossberg 500 builds. For the 10/22 I need the Volquartsen competition trigger assembly $700, internally surprised barrel $700 + plus stamp and scope rings $40. For the mossberg I'm not even sure how much all the goodies will cost on that guy.

I decided on a fluted barrel, carbon fiber stuff, and a Geissele 2 stage trigger. Those are going to cost me

I'm on a Corsair H100(the first gen). I'm thinking of upgrading because the socket will also interchanges with coolers on the 1151, so that's one less thing to buy.

 

OCing is easy with modern BIOS's, I was running a lower clock until that using some custom settings, but now I'm just using the built in OC program. It's a little erratic, it even "crashed" on lower clocks during the auto tune, but is running this just fine so far.

I need to start looking for a job. Thinking of something like CNC, but have no experience. Anyone know how physical it is? With my arthritis problems my work possibilities are narrowed.

I need to start looking for a job. Thinking of something like CNC, but have no experience. Anyone know how physical it is? From what I've read it seems to vary per workplace. With my arthritis problems my work possibilities are narrowed, so trying to figure something out.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
