Copper Canyon Mica. Some say it doesn't even exist.

 

I think I've seen one in person. Ever

Lol

 

Closest I've come was a Marketplace ad, and it was still a few hundred miles away.

 

I think my press is a little small

 

2hrs of work and it all might be for nothing, sure hope this minimal rust pitting cleans up

 

is this work work or a side project? That is a huge bummer either way tho

 

ninety fuckin nine degrees

I should fix my swamp cooler lmao

 

It's a steering rack off an 02 tacoma I picked up from the junkyard. Mines still leaking like a sieve so I told myself "500 plus tax and shipping?! I can rebuild it for less"

 

Oof

 

Yea, I may have to take an L on this project.... what do you think of the stress marks I just uncovered after cleaning the grease off?

I don't think that's uncommon actually

 

Hmmm. Could put it back together and use it as a core exchange?

 

And ACTUALLY get rid of something?!?!?!


Imma reassemble it and run it till it fails. If I can make one turn before it dumps all its fluids, I'll feel justified all this work was worth something

 

That's good to know..

as far as the pitting is concerned, I learned a finger pad can feel about 13 nanometers. So I figured with my blue collar hands it's probably more like 30 nanometers which is about 1 thou. If I can't feel it it's gotta be okay

 

We always used our fingernails in the shop, if it catches a fingernail it's at least 5thou... If it doesn't, just polish it with scotchbrite red haha

 

Found an article about a failed oring on the Ford transmission filter causing intermittent neutrals and I'm really hoping that's the issue I have. Wouldn't surprise me if the shop that did the filter while I was moving botched the oring

 

Word

Glad red is universal across shops

 

Guys who rebuild Chevy transmissions do this sometimes and cause low line pressure by accidentally stacking the new and old ring (which gets stuck in the trans) for the filter feed tube

 

Especially since it only seems to missshift on inclines. Transmission shop couldn't reproduce it and said
