Instead of an impact, perhaps a great big old drill with low speed and a lot of torque could be used?
Optional on Yugos?
Slightly radioactive Thorium is added to TIG electrodes, I wonder why no one has thought to market spark plugs of dubious advantage on that premise.
A bit of trivia, Marie Curie (discoverer of Radium fame, with husband Pierre) named Polonium in honour of her home country of Poland.
Might as well start a collection of all the elements touted in spark plugs. Let's see: Copper, Tungsten, Platinum, Polonium, Iridium,...
That's an old photo. I think it's real, but I guess that the forklift was backing up and the weight of its load made it tip. It's scraped the...
Did the "Brat" have lap belts, at least?
I think the engine is not in a vehicle though.
Neat, did you use some software to reverse it to post the "normal" picture above it?
The hats were made by their mom. They could only play with the cars in the hot sun if they promised to wear them.
If using a breaker bar and smacking it, I've learnt that a two foot piece of 2x4 works way better than a hammer which is likely to glance off the...
It's winter in the Pacific Northwest, I see brine and salt on the roads near me.
I was surprised that the rings were cast individually. I had thought that pipe like pieces would be cast, and the rings parted off from these...
I think it's this one. The caption says it's from 1956, but it's definitely earlier. I also found one from 1974(?) that I didn't watch. [MEDIA]...
Interesting. Thanks for that info.
Any idea of exactly why it is incompatible with anti-lock brake systems?
Depends on the vehicle. On my 36 year old import truck, yes. The in-tank pump failed and I simply put a stock mechanical pump on the engine,...
Yes, several times face value!
Okay Mister Smartypants, your FREE BEER link is broken, again!
That's why we were given opposable thumbs, for Pete's sake!
Yeah, the article stated that the dies were included in the sale, along with the obligatory "Certificate of Authenticity". Uncle Sam certainly...
I don't see what identifies it as a BMW tool, neither with the one in the ebay ad.
This was my Christmas present from the bank the other day, I bet there's some good ones in there! [ATTACH] The cent was demonetized some years...
Why were the hoods there? Were they from old jalopies that overheated, and the owners didn't care much about the cars so threw them away?
From that link posted above: "Bankrupt First Brands on Monday sued its former chief executive and founder Patrick James, accusing him of...

If the tanks pass hydro test, and an educated visual inspection, they should be fine. If we condemned them just because they're old, what would we...
That's good news that there's no water near the crack. It makes it a lot easier to save the block. So I guess it's not freeze damage.
It looks like the Lucid Autowerks one is still around, a bit different design from the Roundabout Tools unit. But the duckbill looks the same,...
Buddhist good luck symbol.
Separate names with a comma.
