That's interesting but I don't know what problem it solves.

That's cool. I came close to buying a nicely done, cutaway three speed GM transmission at a swap meet that was supposedly done by GM for one of the Motoramas in the '50s. At the time I was a bit tight on both cash and places to display such a thing. I still kind of regret passing on that.

Very cool!

It's hard to tell from pictures but it looks like you could get that 90% by tweaking it with a big adjustable wrench.

There's no factory engine from an '89 F-350 that has adjustable valves.

I've been turning wrenches for 40 years and I've never had a problem that I thought would be solved by a locking extension.

If you're going to be working in that garage I recommend against flakes. I had them in my last shop floor and I loved the way they looked but anything I dropped just disappeared.

I'm enjoying this thread. I've been watching 3d Scanners. The ease of use is a little to low and/or the price is a little to high for it to be worth it for me to take the plunge but at the rate things are going they'll converge in my happy spot in about five years.

I have a pair of 9" Heritage scissors that I really like.

Thanks for the awesome update! I'm so glad that things are settling down and going well for you and the kids. I'm also happy about the bikes in the dining room.

A typical GM starter solenoid can have up to a 30 Amp inrush current and draws 8 to 10 amps while engaged.

It's unlikely that the switch can handle the current needed for the starter circuit. You'll need a relay to feed the push button that's energized when the key is turned on.

As others have indicated there's not enough information given to really make a call on that. There's nothing in the picture that indicates that wall is load bearing. You need to consider what loads are being transferred from above. If there's a wall or roof structure that's loading that wall...

My question would be "do the shop lights emit enough light on the appropriate wave length to charge the flakes?" I'm guessing that most don't.

My oil cans have specific uses so they have specific oils in them. Spindle oil for oiling the appropriate spots on the lathe and milling machine, engine assembly lube for engine assembly and gear oil for manual transmission assembly.

Congratulations on your anniversary. My wife and I just celebrated out 31st yesterday. I really wanted to make it to your open house but that darn working for a living thing once again interfered with what I'd really like to be doing. Sometimes it ***** to be a responsible adult.

I don't think your needs are compatible with the cheap aluminum jack concept.

I have one of these 1.5 Ton American Forge Jack in my race trailer. I bought it because it's low enough to fit under the race cars but I've used it to jack an end of an axle on the trailer to change a flat tire. I've been happy with it and I bought this one to replace the exact same one that had...

That should be good.
