Ok complaints are rolling in. At least one member needs to check himself on his posting and name calling of groups. Y'all are drifting away again from the topic and this thread is still on the chopping block just waiting.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

I can definitely understand staying on topic, I’m guilty on drifting. Especially if it interesting. What gives me a chuckle is there’s actually a complaint department? And people actually use it? How juvenile, just ignore it and move on. We are adults, aren’t we?

It’s one thing reporting an AHole but reporting someone stating the “actual truth” something that’s been on the news is no different than social media blocking conservative views but promoting socialist control. Its funny though, let the sheep do as they’re told, they’re happier being led.

Hey Karnut, this sound like a conspiracy theory or reality?

It’s definitely the Chinese trying to pull the wool over our heads, attempting to create chaos throughout worldwide economic sectors

Yep. When it comes to conspiracy theories I think of the made-up Russia collusion, not this.

 

We know China has lied from day one and the W.H.O. did too. Anything polluted by Chinese interests, including the Democrats and media in our own country, cannot be trusted when it comes to this bug.

 

China intentionally unleashing this man-made virus on the world is totally within the realm of what an evil communist superpower would do. And it will be proven eventually, just like so many other things I’ve said in this thread.

You forget what this site is for and it's not for this. This thread has been allowed to go on only because it calmed down several months ago. Now it's back to way over the line on breaking rules.

 

You do not have total freedom of speech here If you read the site rules. Rules state stay away from politics and religion. This thread was a special case, in my opinion, when it was allowed to exist 6 months ago, so Karnut and others could touch base with one another since there was basically nothing else to do during the strictest part of the lockdown.

 

These type of threads require too much oversight to keep everyone on the site happy

 

There are other members on this site that would like to start  their own threads on various subjects that aren't allowed.

 

There are members of all political persuasions on here, not just yours

 

This is a truck site not a political forum.

Not a religion discussion forum.

Not a forum to bash Republicans, Democrats, Liberal, Socialists, Communists, etc....

Not a forum to discuss ANTIFA, BLM or other assorted similar groups

 

 

 

You can carry on this discussion plenty of other places. do it on your Facebook pages or through PMs, Tweets or whatever.

 

Time for everybody to take a break from this stuff anyway. Let some time pass

 

The  "Covid spare time" thread will stay, but if it goes the way of this thread then it's gone too. So it's up to each of you to be on your best behavior and also self police in that thread.

Which is why these kinds of threads haven't been allowed. They cause problems.  Only your political name calling posts have been removed

It's called the "Report" button.

 

Or, I have been contacted through another truck facebook page complaining about the topic

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
