I miss being able to get new music like that.. Some of those old bands are still making music, but it's not the same (or maybe it's too the same?).

Agreed. When I was in Texas, I saw a lot of the 80s bands that were making their re-reunion tours. I was surprised at the number of people that attended. There were even a lot of younger generations there. At work, most of the guys I work with either grew up in the 80s or really like the music of the 80s so it's always nice walking by the different offices and hearing all the 80s bands coming out of each one :lol:

Yeah, a few years back I went to a show like that... Poison, Warrant, Great White, Quiet Riot, and a few others... It was kind of cool, seeing all those guys play the music from "waaaay" back. I just wish it hadn't been part of the "outdoor summer concert series," in July.. in Texas..

I sure know that feeling. It's way too :lol: down there in San Antonio. Gald I'm in a cooler climate now. Daddy and Jeff must have had late nights because I have yet to see them in here. Figured they would come running as soon as word spread that :lol: posted something.

Your original "joke" post :

 

I forgot to add no this is not an April Fools joke..I wish it was Jeff...

Hrmmmmm....

 

Your current "joke" post :

 

And that was an April Fools joke. You know what a joke is you dumb shit? Heres the definition.

 

1. Something said or done to evoke laughter or amusement, especially an amusing story with a punch line.

2. A mischievous trick; a prank.

So... Basically, you're admitting to being a liar? You supposedly "made up" this big "joke" for April Fools and then said it wasn't a joke and then you get mad when people believe that it wasn't a joke, when you yourself said (let me scroll back up here... oh, yes!) "this is not an April Fools joke...I wish it was."

 

Quit wimpering, whining, pouting, and throwing tantrums. Man-up and admit you screwed up (and LIED about it either being or not being a joke) and maybe things can get back to more or less normal around here... OR, we could all just put you on ignore...? Whichever!

 

Take it easy!

 

 

PWNED!!!!

Hilarious. I have been building a garage in my spare time, and lately I got bored of some of the music in my ipod so I have been seeking out 80's metal stations, and dug out my Garage Days Revisited (appropriately enough). Man, some of that music is just timeless. Or, you can listen to a band like Fu Manchu that is just kind of stuck there...

 

What I tend to forget is that there is SO MUCH of it - you only ever get to hear the crap they recycle on the 80's stations, which was probably top40 for each year. Boy I miss that stuff sometimes - now that music has become mechanized/electronified even the metal sounds like techno-crap.

Silly String? We don't need no stinkin' silly string.

 

This is what we need:

 

 

 

And good morning to you too, Jeff. Remind me never to piss you off.

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...

      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.
