If the piston you are holding matches the damage on the exhaust port, I'm almost positive that piston was in backwards.

Just fixing shit, SEEMEFIRST hit it on the head, get a Lincoln or Miller MIG and weld away. You can get a book to help understand a bit better. Just have fun with it while you learn.

I agree, but where I work, we are the ones getting shit on. Prior to me, there was 2 IT managers over a 5 year period. On was here a year, then no manager for 1.5 years. The next one only made it 6 months, then another 1+ with no manager. I've been cleaning ... more »

Wow, LOVE it!!! Nicely done!

what about Savatgy?

Our local 2 year college has a welding certification. There is a basic welding class that briefly covers torch, mig, tig, and stick. If you have a local place that hires welders, stop in and ask them what you need to learn to get a job there. They may ... more »

College loan programs need a makeover. They need to cap them based on earning potential in the field you are studying! These garbage degrees will just go away then and kids won't rack up 6 figure loans. Granted, I graduated college in 1994, but came ... more »

WOW, nice save! Not sure how you would ever want to get over about 30 mph after that!

In my opinion, he needs help with one thing and one thing only - FOCUS. He seems to lose focus making one small mistake costing him either places, or injuring him. He is fast, no doubt. I think if his focus improves, his confidence goes up, he runs in ... more »

I'm with Harry, - FUGLY!

I think you are viewing it all wrong. Yup, the C-ship is over in the 450's, but now you can go and watch the action a bit farther back in the pack. Do you honestly think that Zack-O and Anderson are going lay up and coast? Roczen? Those guys aren't wired ... more »

IT Manager, Healthcare. Pays the bills, but Healthcare is pretty stressful with all of the diminishing reimbursements. What once was a stable industry is now a mess.

Keifer did a podcast that was sort of like this, but he bolted on the JGR kit. Basically, he said you could purchase a leftover RMZ and the JGR engine kit for close to the same amount you'd spend on most of the other bikes. The podcast focused solely ... more »

I'm in! I'm pretty sure I could line up one track for sure over in the SW side.

Wait, you guys buy a bike for it's riding traits???? I just buy the ones that look good to me! Maybe because I'm old and slow. "If you can't go fast, look fast!"

I'd pass on him. He seems to hit the ground way too often. You can't win, when you don't line up.

When did Tomac say he didn't want to go. Last I heard him say in an interview was that he wanted a bit of revenge for last year.

For the head, put it on a known flat surface. I've heard of people using glass. Use a feeler gauge and go around trying to fit it under the head. I don't know how to do it for the cylinder. If I had to check, I'd send it to someone reputable to check ... more »
