    Went against the HOA

    My HOA is really cliquish. And don't do what they said they would.

    First turbo vehicle for me....oil thoughts?

    It's not the same engine FWIW. The 2L T in the Gen Coupe is based on the NA 2.4L Sonata motor.

    Got a wood chipper

    The Kohler engine manual is not much good either. A good 3/4" thick but numerous languages. Only 10 pages in English. At least it's still in the front. No specific oil volume. Just says fill it to the max level on the stick. Two sticks and two drain plugs but to fill and drain neither...

    Heinz selling spaghetti carbonara in a can in the UK - Italians outraged

    The cheese usually starts out as real cheese anyway. You should see them make up a batch of Velveeta!

    Brake Flush Question

    If a bleeder does not come free easily just heat it up for about 30 seconds with a torch.

    Got a wood chipper

    My bank is very steep and has eroded from years of surface run off as well as the pond level too high. The bank face is basically no slope and 90 degrees. I've stopped that for the most part. The worst now is underground spring when the water table is high. The bank is all clay fill on top...

    Got a wood chipper

    Put a hour meter on it and was looking for the gear box drain but apparently the motor is of newer design that the parts illustration. The 2:1 gear reduction is intergraded into the motor and shares the engine oil. Took the belt guard off and got the info from them. The blades are reversible.

    Brake Flush Question

    Most vehicles reduce pressure to the rear somehow and this slows things down if you are pumping the pedal. Having the engine running and the power boost speeds this up quite a bit.

    Ever been late on a credit card?

    On three cards I had a low initial limit of under $3k. And on all of them I made a 80% charge which killed my credit score. But all were paid off in the next cycle with no interest charges. Nice big 5% kickbacks too. On all three I ask to double the limit and they did. This will keep the...

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    I still have the first microwave I ever bought back in the 80s. Sears I think, has the timer and power level switches. Never gave any problems other than one of the knobs broke. I'm on my third electronic one since.

    Ever been late on a credit card?

    Wat until you near max one out. You really take a hit at about 80%. If paid off in 30 days it takes 2 months to recover.

    What are some of the common issues that can cause knocking (rattling of the engine)?

    You can if you can see the timing with OBD. Find the knock sensor and tap on the block while it's running. It should reduce the timing. I'm sure there is some sort of electrical test too.

    What are some of the common issues that can cause knocking (rattling of the engine)?

    They sell E15 gas around here (85 they call it), cheaper than regular and I bet it would fix your knocking. I had a 1979 4 cyl Mustang that knocked bad under load on regular. That was the year they went to E10 gas in Illinois. Just using E10 fixed that issue.

    Brake Flush Question

    I've tried vacuum bleeding with the hand pump with some success, but never seems to work good on the Accent. It has the typical Hyundai calipers. I have a vacuum pump for AC work. Hmmm.......

    One of my first jobs was driving a truck for the company that made those chemistry boxes. They didn't fill them but bought the painted steel and then stamped it into shape. I picked up the steel and delivered the boxes.

    I use to have one of those metal fold out box chemistry sets. A little white phosphors for you to play with!!!!

    What are you working on today?

    Got my wood chipper yesterday and spent an hour unpacking it. Nice crate and I wanted to save it. Doesn't look difficult to assemble other than the weight of things. The chutes just hook and latch on. So only the axles, wheel and drawbar are in need of much assembly. Engine has two...
