kyteler Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 If it's anything like my old R30, the pulley will come off at 100km/h of its own accord and then you'll have easy access to the seal. I guess the problem there is the 3Y might not make it to 100km/h? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I got a car inspected by incar automotive today and he had this computer thing he connected to the + & - on the battery and another clamped round the + lead, the tool could test the engines compression through the battery, I didn't think that was possible but he used the old style compression tester and it came up with the same readings. Â it can pick up through the alternators out put the cylinder pressure. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015  It was nothing like that, it was way more high tec than the one in the video, it was done with the engine running 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Edit you might be right, I saw the play back on the laptop wile the engine was running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I do that all the time at work. All it does is measure the current draw of the starter motor during cranking. Higher current draw = higher compression,. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Anyone tried a 40" UHD / 4k TV as a monitor? Apparently the LG is OK, but I've been unable to look at one in the flesh. Samsung so far seems a bit dithery in fine line rendering. Thoughts please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So I was thinking the same thing and a buddy made a good point of putting some text files as .jpg onto a usb stick and walk around the shop plugging it in to have a geez, he was a tv repairman that geeked out on them and also recommended LG. A mate also brought a 40" panasonic cinema screen that looked pretty good to use as a screen but for the price of the thing...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I found the Philips BDM4065UC, 40", nice 1 pixel lines. Many shops couldn't plug things in / be bothered, PBtech guy was setting up an LG for me when I spotted the Philips, which also has displayport to play nice with my hp laptop. (no sound, but not a problem for my application). At first it looked laggy as hell (~200ms), but that turned out to be the trackpad drivers on a new high end Asus laptop! Worked nice with a corded mouse. Will report when set up tomorrow, but good value instore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Might have been better with a GIF / TIFF, jpg can be compressed / blurry. good call, maybe generate some text in photoshop at the same resolution/size as the screen for 1:1 reproduction? or by now is it easier to just walk around with an hdmi cable in the laptop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Monitor is good. I thought curved screens were a gimmick, but at arms length in 40" class it could actually be a thing. I'm seeing a little colour shift, and I've got full res, but down to 30fps at 4k because of nvs510m. It's supposed to do 60fps at 24bit colour or lower, but I haven't found that magic button yet. Thank KThulu we don't have to reboot windows for video drivers like the bad old days. Â Conclusion. Getting a big monitor on appro for your actual desk is probably a great idea. Â Edit. The display is BGR, and windows only knows RGB for sub-pixel hinting, and can't change per monitor. Can you get X11 from 1995 running on new windows?

M Night Shamalayan Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm rebuilding the hydraulic system that makes my clutch work on my Hillman hunter. I've bought all the new seal kits to recondition my master cylinder and slave cylinder. The Haynes manual (lol) says i should hone the bores before putting new seals in. Where as I've now heard stories that honing the bores on such old pieces of shit can often remove too much metal and make them leak under pressure. The comparison was made between honing the bore for an engine (which obviously doesn't use a rubber seal and tolerances need to be spot on) versus a hydraulic system. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Would you make the effort to get it honed? Or would you just bang it together with fresh seals?

Spencer Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Depends on the condition of the bores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have a hone for this purpose if you want a hoon on my hone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Night Shamalayan Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 So if they aren't scored or frigged you'd just leave them? I guess I'll find out how good/bad they are when i dismantle. Beaver, ill be in touch xo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
