I'll be rooting extremely hard for A-Rod to break Bonds' record.

 

GO A-ROD!!!!!!

I like 'ol Barry. He reacts to the press the same way I would if they kept shoving cameras in my face.

 

Even though he's been roided up for years.

Yeah well, Babe Ruth played in a segregated league, so his record shouldn't count either.

 

I've known several professional athletes. Heck I hung out with Trevor Hoffman and several other Padre's a few times when I lived in San Diego (I had a very well connected g/f at the time), and I knew a couple of of the Denver Broncos as well....And I'd say that there are more of them using some sort of performance enhancers than aren't. A LOT more. Barry just catches more flack for it because he's gruff with the press. Mark McGuire was using too, nobody rips on him. He got parades. That's because he was an affable guy to interview. Sosa corked his bats, and it was forgiven because he seems like a nice guy.

 

Of course, that's just my take on it...I'm not that big of a sports fan.

The phrase "Quality over Quantity" comes to mind.

 

I remember recently at a game a group of fans had a banner, which read something to the effect of:

 

Hank did it with class.

Babe did it with liqour (or something like that)

How did you do it, Barry?

 

 

Made me smile.

That too. Steroids don't improve hand/eye coordination as far as I know, just muscle mass and endurance.

 

I worked out for years and I never made it far in baseball because that ball got to the catcher WAY TOO FREAKIN' FAST for me to react, much less hit it.

If anything bulking up hurts you in baseball makes you less flexibly and mobile to swing. I have seen some bulky guys try and play softball they looked mean but couldnt hit the ball past the pitcher because there arms didnt bend.

 

To add some humor to the topic thought I would show this rookie card of barry (no disrespect meant to barry)

OUCH! :loser:

 

Actually it doesn't really tick me off that Bonds made it to the top. I could care less cause I dislike Baseball.

 

And besides, I'll take a steroid abuser making it to the top of the most prestigeous list in baseball anyday over a pro NFL Quarterback who runs a dogfighting ring. :cool:

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is: First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees

      OCI, not when but why?

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?

      One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.

      Pushing $4.00 a gallon in most places, still $3.75 in town but it's going to spike tomorrow for sure.   Diesel back up to $4.60-5.00.
