    Pull to tighten belts / sewn in pads

    Minimum diameter and wall thickness harness mount tube

    Which CV grease to use?

    Is that why I can’t touch anything on the ass end of my buggy without getting greasy?

    Minimum diameter and wall thickness harness mount tube

    0.120 to 0.095 is 0.35lbs/foot difference. On a typical buggy, that's ~1.5lbs difference.

    Tariffs

    Should just be: any/all tariffs imposed on us are reflected back on all goods coming in. Have a 75% tariff on maple syrup? All goods coming from your country have a 75% tariff unless there's a really good reason for it.

    Got a Broken Piston, This Might Help In the Future

    Yeah, still has somewhere around 3-4x the ZDDP that regular oils have. Most of the ZDDP cuts are in the newer grades of gasoline oils.

    Got a Broken Piston, This Might Help In the Future

    While I think using the right oil for the job is key, and you should especially listen to the guy who built it (tolerances are based on expected oil/weight after all), for those of us running stock engines it's not necessarily a bad choice if you pick the right one, especially for how cheap it...

    Alternative is Chinese Uyghur slaves. If they can do it, so can our snowflakes. Bonus is there would be a lot less bullshit rioting, etc. Our parents' generation did it. The above is just participation and doesn't count towards unemployment. If you were unemployed in the 60s, there was...

    FIFY. We have the manpower, we're just competing with the free shit parade: Labor participation isn't exactly stellar. And a little more than 1 in 10 men in prime working age aren't participating now.
