Then why do they continue to build too many new vehicles? Lots are full of new "junk"!

Its just simple logic. Inexpensive cars and trucks are just not allowed into the US. Why? Gotta keep all those high union wages, and super fancy factory's going some how. In the 50's and 60's, there was no fancy painted factory floors or what ever, those where the days of "KISS" manufacturing...

The tolerances are not much different than in the 1950's. A tolerance is a plus or minus from the Nominal dimension. What you are really asking about is are the CLEARANCES TIGHTER NOWADAYS. "Make them accept" seems many are in constant failure mode these days. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Never use red loctite on anything threaded that is coming apart again. That is what the Orange is for. Red is considered permanent. That color (red) should cost $500 for a small tube, I hate that stuff. But then if its not done correctly I suppose the red would be a small bit tighter than blue...

If it sat for a few months it would all be rusty, needs some of that gooey sludge to prevent rust. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Yes good idea if all is designed and built correctly. Nice compact engine.

Spending idle time, gas choice, some oil.

What a huge loss. I'd like to know what caused it. Feel for his family, kids lost their dad, just wow.

Is there anything to all that or just some good advertisement? It all sure looks good in those ad's.

I guess the snap on designers have never used a ratchet? Fat handles are a no no in some very restricted places and some times a small pipe is also needed in those areas. Must be the same idiots that design the engines and transmissions that are now offered. And really who the heck needs a...

I suppose a dog stink is about like cigarette stink as well, that takes for ever to get rid of. I wonder how well Pooph would work?

For the CVT only use the Honda fluid. I would not play dice with them. The failure on those is most always push belt bands breaking.

All depends on what stainless it is, stainless can gall real easy too. In this case edm won't do anything special a drill and boring end mill can't do. It just won't happen on a drill press.

A been there done that. Never use JB Weld under a paint job you care about. I think it has metal in it and can cause a small bit of corrosion. I used it on a motor cycle fairing and it blistered after a few months. Any holes in the body, its no big deal to weld a small patch in the holes but...

Data for what use? They have to pay for them some how just saying.
