I'm going to install that S&B intake soon that is sitting in our spare bedroom but I also want to know how much oil has entered into the intake after 7500 miles.  I do run an oil catch can from JL but it only gets vapors from the left side of the engine.  I'm curious as to how much oil has entered the intake from the right side as well and will be finding out soon.  The imaging is amazing from it from what I've seen so far just playing around with it.  65 bucks from Amazon, hard to beat.  I can see now why it got 4.5 stars and rave reviews.  Anyhow @Pryme we will see.  And when I install the S&B intake I'm going to route the right valve cover vent to the catch catch can as well just for the hell of it.  I'll take pics along the way and post them when I actually do it.  Probably within the next couple of weeks.  I'm trying to let the pollen slow down before I install the intake.

Colonoscopy? No big deal. 

Try open heart surgery, brain surgery, cancer.

I haven't had either one but it's a walk in the park compared to the others. 

We have some friends, a married couple who are past due for a colonoscopy and refuse to do it.

I saw recently the odds of colon cancer change very little wether you do the procedure or not. Like everything in life you have to weigh the risks. The procedure itself carries risks. I went with someone to drive them home afterwards. It was like an assembly line. No one in my family has had colon cancer. I’ll pass.

I’ve never had one but I believe it’s to find it as early as possible if you do have it since it can fester for a long time sometimes undetected.

I’m a little biased even when the say it’s minimally invasive. My wife had a minimally invasive procedure 10 years ago. 5 years and 5 corrective surgeries later she is now 80 percent better. The by product of all those surgeries created other problems. Requiring us to travel 300 miles monthly to visit a physical therapist to keep her functional. Additionally forcing me to retire 8 years earlier than I wanted to helping with her recovery. Adding a friend who worked in medical billing at a hospital. Mention one day there’s a surprising amount of injury bumping or tearing. Requiring additional procedures to correct. After much research about medical procedures. Most people would be surprised that things may be done because there’s money in it.

It's to catch problems early giving the best survival rate. All medical procedures can go bad, roll of the dice. 

We have had quite a few of them, the wife the most due to history.

There’s a test now that determines risk for breast cancer. Even though there’s a procedure to detect lumps, people are now just cutting them off. If the gene is present. My mother had breast cancer twice detected through the yearly check up. She’s now 84. People have a hard time living life without fear. Our last pandemic proved that. My wife and I do what we want, without living in fear.

Had open heart surgery in 2021 and a lung surgery(thoracotomy) in 2003, but I crapped in the box last year instead of doing the colonoscopy.  Thankfully it came back clear. 

 

I have a cheap teslong borescope, it works ok for inspecting barrels, hadn't really thought about using it in a manifold, but sure it would work.

Ok, back to the right cover to catch can. When I was looking at stuff about catch cans. They were saying that the one going to the air intake was the clean side and the pcv side is the dirty side. I took it as air going in one side and sucked out the other side. Is this wrong thinking.

I can honestly say I don't know.  What I do know is the left side enters directly into the intake whereas the right side is ported into the air filter box.  The S&B intake ports the right side into the intake runner right before the throttle body.  That's a great question though that I honestly don't know the answer to.  Perhaps my endeavor of routing the right side vent to the catch can is futile at best.  I don't know.

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
