hey guys
just a weird ocd/perfectionist question...
i'm looking for a small drying pad. a pad that would allow you to place an oil filter on it, and due to the holes on the pad, the oil filter will slowly drain out. im thinking something the size of a dish washing sponge, but looking for...
so i'm installing a hayden fan temp relay and had some questions.
first of all why do they have butt connectors already installed on every single wire? the red power wire wouldn't need a butt connector, cuz wouldnt someone usually just bolt it to the battery with a ring terminal? same goes for...
ok, so i was reading something and this guy says ""Changing the filter in my car to a version with both inlet and outlet anti drain valves made a difference on cold starts after sitting for 2 days, no light tapping for the second after starting."" is this a thing?! i know that some oil filters...
why do some manufacturers engineer their oil pans to require a rubber gasket and others require RTV. my two examples are the honda B-series engines that have the rubber gaskets compared to the nissan sr20det engines that call for RTV.
is it cost savings or is one a better design than the other?
yeah, i'm talking about the automotive stuff. i'll have to try the nozzle cap idea next time. mine only came with this cap.
i've had a problem where the cap cracks over time. and i've never dropped the thing. it cracks from just sitting on the shelf!! kinda weird
just curious to see if anyone has a clever way of keeping their RTV tubes from drying out as quickly. i don't use RTV that much, so i open up a tube for a job, then the rest usually sits and about the top 1" of it gets dry.
same with the small two part epoxy containers. their caps kinda suck...

it was bothering me that i was throwing away thick plastic jugs out in the trash...spent couple hours looking online and calling different places to see if they take plastic bottles/jugs that at one point had fresh OR used oil in them, and all of those places either sounded confused or said that...
so we have here...one picture with everything thrown together without any close detailed shots of the filter media, another shot with the surface of the magnets (like we dont know what magnets look like - maybe OP thought the particles were gonna attach to the actual magnet and not the inside of...
