Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Both!

 

I did the Mist Falls trail several years ago when there was a lot of water like there is now and it was a pretty cool. Other than that I haven't spent a whole lotta time there, but Id for sure go see the General Sherman and General Grant trees, both have a little hiking loop through their respective groves. Also check out Moro Rock.

Also Overland Bound did an early video where they went to Buck Rock Lookout, and Buck Rock Jeep Trail in Sequoia.

 

I had a giggle.

But on the bright side.. you’ll probably never do that again.

 

Good times! 7 trucks and not a single chainsaw. Much swinging of axes.

 

I know a guy who ran a rag or two through a diesel. Ran a little rough for a minute. Burned the rags then passed them through as ash. Or that was our best guess. It ran good after it stopped throwing little red rag bits from the exhaust lol.

Just saying you're not the only one. I've seen pros do the same thing. Probably worse because it was a fabric rag instead of a paper towel. Any damage?

 

I like that gif cuz she's hot and would like her to do that on a specific region of myself

It seems to be all okay now except that one towel stuck in Cylinder 3 that somehow made it through the valves. The damage is minimal because the engine never turned over, and one paper towel managed to fall backwards into the supercharger rotors causing it to bind.

If the supercharger rotors never seized I would’ve never taken the supercharger off and possibly caused far more damage.

Eight total towels, one per intake runner.

 

Light her off!

 

I’m waiting for the RTV to cure before I can fire it up. Still have to figure out how to get that sheet still inside cylinder 3.

 

Diesels would probably burn through them easier just because the compression and heat are so high is my guess.

Something like a rag would definitely bend the intake and/or exhaust valves.

Luckily these are just thin paper towels that are soaked in gas, any remains that are left inside the cylinder should be burned off.

However I still want to get the remains out anyway just because you’re obviously not supposed to have foreign objects inside your engine.

 

Can you pull the spark plug, roll it to TDC and reach in with, well sorry if its politically incorrect as I dont know what else to call them, Chinese fingers? Should be small enough to get through the spark plug hole

 

Yeah, that’s the plan actually. They make these little grabber tools meant for plumbers to get jeweler out of plumbing. I’ll go visit Home Depot later.

Funny thing is my Boroscope came with hook and pick tools designed for this exact purpose. However I tossed them citing “I’ll never use these.”

 

I love it when a plan falls apart!

 

I have this chainsaw. It's hard to get places but if extremely effective.
You don't want any to buy one of these for the back of your truck though.

 

Skinny enough but not long enough.

 

Wood.

 

I got that covered for sure!
