I've had drums so rusted to the hub that I've damaged the drum badly beating it with a BFH, but rust here is extraordinarily bad. I have used a couple of tricks, either a really big wheel puller or a combination of my strut compressors, a sleeve from my hub tamer, and a 2x4. A little heat from a...

My wife has what they think is a lipoma on her back, going in for a biopsy on the 18th. No messin' around with lumps. CT was the right thing to do IMHO.

In the second picture it looks like he's had a little bit too much Bud Light,

Like all hoses I just spit on them and wipe it around with my finger. Works great and it's free, haven't run out yet.

Simple answer, it's a beta, and all current users are beta testers. More of the same from Bill and friends.

Our EJ25 is quieter and uses less oil if I use something relatively thick. I just put some fresh RTS in last night, I use GC in the winter. If it isn't using any oil and it hasn't started piston slapping yet I don't think that it matters much which of those you use.

That's a nice report! Fe is high but I've quit caring on this engine, it's going to spit iron regardless of how nicely it's treated. The bearing wear is phenomenal. What air filter are you running? What coolant? Keep in mind that it doesn't take much coolant to make 50PPM of sodium in a UOA...

Try mounting your router up high on the wall in the room it's in, and try pointing the antenna in different directions. Using a d-link router I get GOOD or VERY GOOD in my garage and it's about 100' away, no fancy tricks. Mounting it high up on the wall made a huge difference. I also find that...

So I changed the filter and topped off, it still does it. The sender will be next, but I think it'll have to wait for a bit.

I like to prime the cylinders with a little 2-cycle gas to give it some UCL.

That's a good idea, and that would make quick work of diagnosing this problem. If I do buy one though I want a nice set that's made in the USA. I'll try the filter tomorrow night after work.

The cylinder head crack is still relatively small, here's my last UOA. http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB3&Number=805052 Terry detected the early signs of this crack over two years ago, and I've been keeping an eye on it until I thought that the time was right...
