RUNAMUCK

So, i know a guy who makes things from aluminium. My radiator was getting a wee bit dozey in the fins. I pulled it out, and dropped it off to his house. This was the result.

Im not sure her indoors will be overly chuffed about randoms showing up while im in another town, getting OTP with OS's crown prince of sex pesting?

If you buy rego at the cheaper rate, and then transfer it to the proper one, you have to pay the difference.

Ive seen cunts daily-ing dereg cars. No wof, no reg, no worries.

Its because they want everyone to cycle/ride the loser cruiser. You wont need a car to live in your 15 minute city. Live in your pod, and eat ze bugs.......

Fuck this is gonna be lit!

150(ish) Days!!

This is a most disadventagous choice of dates. That weekend im scheduled to be pesting in another part of the mighty Te Waiponamu. Ill be sharning up a storm and sinking wanker beers with one of spam threads more notorious OS 1337 GCs. Please get offensively drunk, and someone spin an impossibly protracted and convaluted sharn in my absence. And know that although the rear window of a 1996 toyota surf is unlikely to rate a mention, that ill be there in spirit........

Brother, be forewarned! You are teetering of the precipice of the ultimate Barry rabbithole. But its okay, ive been down there, so you dont have to. Some years ago, i repowered my childhood go kart with a 5hp briggs. In my research, i discovered a forum, dedicated to these engines. The Wisconsin Karting federation have a class just for them. I did some reading, and learned a lot. Firstly, mine had a thread in the exhaust port. Reportedly they go better with the pipe screwed in. (The ex port diameter is too large for optimal performance) naturally the shape where the pipe ends (inside the block) is also critical. They were all about a threaded sleeve that screwed into the ex port to narrow it down. (This may, or may not be "class legal" for the stock engine class. Theres also an optimum length for the pipe too. (Seeing as its just a straight pipe, its not hard to make) my memory isnt what it once was, but it was 12" or 14". There are two types of 5hp blocks. The cast iron sleeve ( industrial motor) and the full alloy "cool bore" block. The alloy bore motor needs a piston which has been hard chromed. Otherwise the two soft metals gall each other. Theres also two varieties of side cover. one has a bearing, and th other the crank shaft just runs on the aluminium casting. The greatest weakness is the lubrication system. Theyre splash fed. Theres a sheet metal "dipper" bolted to the conrod cap bolts. This splashes the oil up to where its needed. Reportedly at apporox 4000rpms, this breaks off. And shortly there after the conrod snaps in two. And you get a window in the front of the block. (They say you can change the parts, and use pop rivits and RTV to make the block go another roound) Better parts have the dipper cast into the rod cap. Believe it or not, there is (or at least was) untold aftermarket parts available. Wiesco pistons, carrillo rods, brand name camshafts. You can even get aftermarket billet blocks. (I think theyre called blockzilla 3?) Now im sure youre only interested is the basic stuff to begin with. Firstly that pipe is a negligable cost improvement. And as tempting as it might be, dont shave the head. The air speed is highest up near the roof of the chamber. Skimming the head to try bump compression will hurt the flow. Looking at the block with the head off, youll see an "eyebrow" between the valves and the cylinder. You can grind with down the cylinder wall, almost to where the top ring sits at TDC. Again the air speed is low down here, but its a free mod for moar power.

I use Nic and Christchurch automotive services. He lives just around the corner from me. Works from a workshop in his back yard. Super nice bloke, and dies good honest work at a fair price. Hes who I pay to do all the cunty jobs I cbf with. (Most jobs on modern cars, bar oil changes and brake pads basically)

Rotary counterweights. I have a counterweight from an N/A 13b. Which part of the engine is this matched to? The rotors? I also have the flywheel off the same motor. That has some pretty significant counterweight machined into it too. Would I sell these parts together?

I'd just give them a wee straighten a burst up and a paint.

In what context? Wof? Cert? Revin?

Hi @Rhubarb77 I have a question. You've fitted after market rods, but still running Cast pistons? Surely the pistons will disinterested/migrate into the sump for for the rods exit the chat?

How close can a fuel line (hard line) be to an exhaust pipe? Is a heat sheild/header wrap an acceptable solution?

^this is what we wanted to do with the old boys car. The whole point of an electric pump is not having to crank it for 20 seconds to refill the carb bowls.

Does this thing go Zutututu yet?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000151271784.html Must have bought the 5 pin one?

I bought some relays off aliexpress. They had two "power out" wires. (Could be an earth trigger if so desired) one was live when the relay was energized, and one was live when the relay was not energized. We're going to fit one to dads Car, run a 12v+ feed off the key to the switching side, and a 12v ground off the oil pressure sensor. So the fuel pump wont pump gas until the motor gets oil pressure. Conversely if the vehicle suffers a series upset/crash/etc, and the driver is unable to manually turn off the key. Then the power supply to the fuel pump will stop as soon as the engine oil light comes on. Not as fast as a modern vehicle with EFi. But if the driver has injuries preventing them from exiting the vehicle under 5heir own power, it prevents a small fire becoming a very very big one.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

I say send it. I've always liked flares. Even 5hough the ones on my old tanga were the shitty generic TE27 Levin flares.

Looks perfect for displaying a dead person for a state funeral

^actually I think Tony once said he was the man too. (Which is high praise, cos Tony is a good cunt)

I dont know if they still "make" clutches as such. By Tony at clutch systems NZ in chch is the fucking man with clutches.
