    Splitting off a line for RO water filter from washing machine inlet?

    Is there any concern about the hydraulic shock in the water line - that washing machines tend to create, so close to the RO membrane?

    *Investors Blog*

    Will there be a surprise ROI in the near enough future to stop the Doomsday clock? What is your guess to the last question? My uneducated guess would be Amazon, based solely on their real world footprint size. There are far fewer players than there were in 2001 to pick from. Also if it happens...

    Two-cycle oil Formulations

    The information posted is from a patent that was held up here as proof. I believe the "inlet valve" that the patent is referring to is indeed the reed valve that some 2 cycles have. Would you consider a reed valve as a part of the crankcase?

    Two-cycle oil Formulations

    The thing I'm not getting is how the description of a "mist" entering the crankcase is opposed - to what either party is presenting. The definition of a mist is "Fine drops of a liquid, such as water, perfume, or medication, sprayed into the air". A mist is not a fully evaporated liquid. The...

    Could you elaborate on what the "mist theory" is?

    Two-cycle oil Formulations

    Your first post in this thread was #63, there you replied to Molakule - " The viscosity of the the oil once inside the motor is the viscosity of the oil prior to mixing with gasoline minus the effect of any solvents added for miscability. On other words fairly thick." Tell me how this isn't...

    Two-cycle oil Formulations

    As I recall the disagreement began over the viscosity of the oil when it arrives at it's destination, vs. the original viscosity. Anther thick vs. thin I'm afraid.

    Repairing damaged manifold stud and smoothing surface

    I've seen guide bushings - but not bolts that could be used directly on the stud if there's threads left. Drilling a bolt freehand is a talent that few have, it's like like drawing a straight line freehand. I've known people with the knack, but not many.

    LOVE the drill guides. Can those be purchased, or are they custom made?

    Two-cycle oil Formulations

    Contending that little to no evaporation takes place after the venturi, down the intake runner in low pressure (no matter how short that may be on a two cycle) and that all fuel remains in a liquid droplet state until it enters the crankcase, is a tough position to defend. But you tried.

    Repairing damaged manifold stud and smoothing surface

    Induction heating the studs is not going to be the best route. The stud grows in size with heat, you want to heat the hole that it's in to grow. You're not trying to save the studs, so just a pair of properly sized vice grips should suffice. Once you get the flange around the stud cherry red.
