Skins are aluminum I assume? They come in what sizes?

You order them by part number specific to model.
Yes, thin aluminum.

Cool man. Didn't expect the structure to be that simplified--expected more ribs and stuff.

What is in that raggedy cardboard box?

They are clecos.
A spring loaded fastener to hold the metal together while your shooting rivets.
You stick them in all the holes and pull one out and shoot the rivet. This way nothing moves on you.

Before we had left last Thursday morning to go up to my dad's, my wife and I spent several hours building my gaming PC. Mainly because, we needed to get our Blink cameras to work. For whatever dumb reason, we just could not get the Blink Sync Module 2 to connect to WiFi. After we got the PC built, the stupid module decided it would connect to WiFi.

PC has the following:

Tower: Thermaltake CTE C700 ARGB
Power supply: Asus ROG STRIX Loki 850 watt modular
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X870E-H
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900x 12 core
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake TH420 V2 Ultra All-in-one EX ARGB
RAM: 64GB DDR5 6400mhz
Solid State Drives (storage): 1 Corsair MP700 M.2280 2Tb, 2 Corsair MP700 M.2280 1TB
Graphics Card: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX9700XT 16GB

Why do all performance computers have to have the glo-lites?

I liked the esthetics of lights. Thats how it looked last week. Monday, changed the light color and got the rear fans lit up properly.

Looks good.

Here's how those clecos work.





Ready for paint.

Any idea what's clunking guys?
Sounds like lower end, not valves.

any ideas?

Adjusted the clutch.
Starter chain was good.
Read that a bad voltage regulator can go hi and cause timing to advance and cause preigniton.
Voltage read 14 lights off and 13.5 lights on.
I never looked at the starter sprag. It worked as expected. Just fixed the slipping hootus.

Muffler bearing?

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Very disturbing sound. Clutch grabbing a little? What's the chain doing?

Very disturbing sound. Clutch grabbing a little? What's the chain doing?

What chain. The starter chain. Nothing, once running. Shaft driven drive train.

The auto clutch works just fine and shifts smooth.

Im thinking the clutch basket is sloppy.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Ok, well when it's idling like that, can you put a hand on the driveshaft and feel anything that corresponds with the noise? I'm just trying to help. If there was clutch "slop" wouldn't you feel the clunk in the drivetrain?

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

The way the auto clutch works is the crank shaft turns a CC. When that engages it gear drives the clutch basket. The shift lever works a mech that disengaged the basket and shifts the gearbox.
It only clunks at idle. Never notice it while driving. The clutch basket shouldn't be turning at idle, the CC isn't engaged.
Im stumped.
I tried a screwdriver to my ear stethoscope but could pinpoint the noise.
Im stumped.

This guy has a good video and shows the inner workings of that side of the case. If you want to see.

Got the landing gear shuttle valve installed on the plane. Bled the system and cycled the gear a few times.



Below the seats, in a hole, stand on your head and bend your third elbow. Can't swing a wrench. Gotta flip it to grab a half flat each time.
You know, the fun stuff.



Heres a few pics of the panel.

Imagine seeing that after a hard night of drinking!

You mean every night. 3D carpets, or three dimensional carpets are every carpet. What this is: trompe l'oeil

I don’t have to take this abuse, gentlemen…

Your not going anywhere.

Man the other day I was riding my Go-Kart at a park. My parents said it would probably be fine. I wasn't tearing up grass but a cop rolls up and drives straight over in his multi-ton Chevy Silverado. Made my mom leave work to drive it home instead of letting me bike lock it to a tree. Now I worry about getting a $1500 fine every time I want to test it in my alley because dude was known for being a old, strict cop.

I feel really stupid. It took me way too long to notice the sarcasm. That is the way the world is going though. I still busted out laughing and got the joke wrong.
