  1. I would first try to turn the broken screw out with a pick or anything else you can get on it. Many people have been able to tease the broken bolt out of there. If that does not work, then since the cap you are showing is the outside cap, I would first rotate the engine so the cam lobes are pointed up. This way there is no valve spring pressure trying to bend the camshaft or mess with your torque settings. You should be able to get to those bolts with a torque wrench.
  2. There are 2 "E" strings on a guitar. You need the High E string, which is the smaller diameter of the 2.
  3. And you look so happy in that pic, I may have to send you some more joy..............
  4. I sure hope 50mm is a typo......... I do not think that is possible without breaking the camshaft. The valve clearance should get tighter with use, if it got bigger I would be worried about a damaged valve or crud holding the valve open. Can you do a compression check on those cylinders? I believe that I have shipped a few valve tools into your general area. I don't remember who all got them. But I do have a few left. Last one I sent north over the border took 10 days to get to SK.

  6. Not here it aint after midnight. You were to quick by 21 minutes................................. I guess you were unaware that a tracker so small could be cast into the steel of a blade, or inserted into the nice soft rubber of a belt. Hows yer weather lookin?
  7. So you are saying that I am "special"? Sooooooooooo Thennnnn.................. If I say I am sending you some snow tonight and for the weekend, then it must be true........................? OR is it just a fool?
  8. Today at work I got a call from my local Yamaha dealer. He now has the 2016 Venture in stock on on the showroom floor. It is a 1700cc v4, EFI, ABS shaft drive water cooled Tons of luggage space. frame mounted fairing He has both red and blue in stock now. $22,495 out the door.
  9. There was a Darwin award issued for a red neck that used a 22 long as a fuse in his pickup. It got hot enough to fire and got his femoral artery. Then he crashed the truck..................
  10. So make your own slow blow fuses. Just need some copper tubing cut to length. That is actually how the maint guy at work got the fuses o the CNC machines to stop blowing.
  11. It is ok to drive her there in your pick up truck as long as you stay in the truck to wait for her to come back out after the concert. OR Deposit your man card into the slot in the top of your paper shredder. This is not a discussion, just a statement.
  12. Just ordered mine with the front camera option, really do not want to have to keep moving my head for foolish things like to see where I'm going. This will certainly help on my marshmallow butt runs.
  13. I miss my Rem Model 7 stainless in .243. Sold it to a friend for his kid to use to get into deer hunting. I still want it back. I have to put scopes on everything, my eyes are to bad to use irons. I do better from the hip than I do with irons.
  14. I am so glad that WI just got rid of the waiting period. I can now buy and head straight to the range the same day.
  15. I know that place. I'll have them pack something special in the box just for you. A very special miniaturized GPS nozzle tracking device to send you a special spring treat. Don't bother trying to find it, it is to small to be seen with the human eye, but works real well.
  16. Awesome news. Let the parties begin....... Erika was working for a cardiologist. So I had to go and end up needing one.
  17. using the above info. MCT has a circumference of 80.80 CT has a circumference of 84.51 That taller car tire will also roll about 3.7 inches farther per engine revolution. Most people that mess with gear ratios head in the opposite direction to get less distance per revolution.
  18. Speaking of Friday night for dinner. Is anyone handling the arrangements at the Steak and Lube? Looking back at last years MD there were 99 members that did RSVP, 43 of those did not RSVP until April or May, and the MD was held in May last year. So with it being 3 weeks later this year The rush will likely not start for another 3 weeks yet. Got to give the procrastinators time to wake up.
  19. 7mm-08 Handgun (for sale) Only one I have pic of at work. In the first pic is a 357 Mag for comparison to a round of 7mm-08
  20. I have had a pull to the left since I bought my bike. That pull has persisted thru 2 sets of brakes, 3 sets of tires, new front springs and oil checking and measuring everything looking for a tweaked frame. I even tried intentionally sitting off to both sides of the seat, and loading 20 lbs in just one side bag. Nothing could make it go away, and now I have learned to live with it, now if I get on a bike that does not pull it feels weird. But since your pull seems to come and go, that indicates an issue that needs to be found. With the bike on the center stand lift the front wheel off the ground and check the steering head bearings for any resistance or notchyness and for proper tightness.
  21. Oh you troublemakers, Now I have to check the balance of my rims the next time I get tires. Has anyone ever tried balancing the rim before mounting the tire? At this point you would know that any imbalance is in the tire, If a tire is way out of balance then you know that there is something wrong with that tire. Just thinking out loud here, That is always dangerous.
  22. Sounds like some nice finds. But you know the rules. Unfortunately my addiction is not limited to just rifles. I like hand guns just as much. There are a couple on my short list just waiting for me to find one so that I can break the bank. I do not get guns just for presentation, all of mine are regular shooters. If I find I am not using one enough it needs to have a new home. I have a couple in that boat right now. I have a couple of old Swedish Mauser's. One is very highly customized by me with zero help from any gunsmith (I love taking things apart and making them better than they were) it has a custom barrel that I bought a rifled blank and turned my own chamber threads and taper, bolt was reworked for scope clearance, completely different safety system, custom hardwood stock, a real trigger and accurizing work done everywhere I can find, and a weatherproof finish for deer hunting. This one started life as a gun that the owner hunted with in November in a pouring rain, put the wet gun into its case to go home, and when he got home the cased wet gun went up into the rafters in the garage, and stayed there until the next hunting season. The rust was so thick that you could not see any light at all thru the bore. By the time I got it cleaned out the rifling was barley visible as slightly rounded humps. It shot ~22 inch groups at 100 yds. On a good day, if I am doing my part (that does not seem to happen often anymore ) the gun will put 5 shots inside of a dime at 100 yards. There are a lot of deer that are not happy with that gun.
  23. At least it was an easy fix for a change.
