and a wedding!

 

FUUUUUUUUUUU...there was a wedding?!?!??

 

Gawddammit, Jerry...why didn't you tell me you had a wedding with WD over the weekend?!?!?!??

I would've wanted to give away the bride.

 

there is no way this non asian guy knew about a wedding in hawaii that a personal friend of yours went to that you didn't know about.

duh.

 

Don't try to backtrack away from yours and WD's wedding. Dammit. Don't change the subject!


Spill it. Who was the maid of honor?

 

Justn is paying for photoshoots now



Who's doing them? Italiano?

 

WD, I posted something you may be interested in on the prior page.

 

 

 

 

Dude.. of course you clean the timing covers. It doesn't matter if you use dirty water and dish soap, or brake clean and a shop rag. Point is to clean it. And there's no reason to replace the noodle gasket unless it's torn or cracked. Check it.. looks fine, don't fux with it.

Then his comment about spark plugs.. shiet. Anyone who knows anything about these engines know there are two OE plugs for the J. Ones a plat the other's iridiums. The iridiums will last longer, both seat level and provide more than enough spark to ensure full combustion. Longer electrode bullshit is just that. The denso spec is the same as NGKs.. I'm guessing they chose denso because they put in a lower bid. You'll still find NGK's are listed as OEM from vendors because the spec is the same.

Then talking shit about fram and talking up the honda filter.. uh hello.. they're both made by fucking honeywell, hence they're the same fucking filter. Open them up.. guess what, it's the fucking same. "The filter density of the filter is much more.. the filter has more 'ravel'.. " fucking a.. only dense ravel is the twine between his ears.

Old Honda Filtech filter on the left, New honda filter and fram on the right.. the fram has less pleats but if you cut open a tough guard filter, it's the same. Filter media area is the same as well.



Then telling you to put anti-seize on the bolt.. There's a fucking reason why you don't put anti-seize on a crank pulley or any moving bolt, and why they say light coat of fresh oil. It's like.. why put a fastening lubricant on a bolt the bolt was designed to never un-fasten.

Then the talk about nitrous.. FFS. That guy can't be serious. There are at least 2 members here who have blown a rod out the block. One of them was a master tech at Acura. For him to say the J can handle it is asinine. It's only time before you blow your shit into next week.

Just way too much for me to correct.. and someone like that, they're not interested in learning or carrying out logical discussion. I mean seriously.. his fucking title says "electrical expert"

If I told my brosefs at work that I'm an electrical expert they'd fucking laugh. I work with some guys who have two PhD's in EE and Computer Engineering.. they wouldn't dare call themselves "experts".. they still consult others for help.

NGK and denso spec is the same. Electrode depth.. he obviously doesn't understand basic spark plug theory nor tested spark plug application. My buddy and I have tested many plugs to date, multiprong, platinum, fat copper electrodes.. even those bullshit E3 plugs. I haven't tested the denso's but I know he's talking out his ass..

Anti-seize for cp bolt.. stating it will aid in accurate torquing..
It fundamentally changes the torque spec.

@ RP filters.. Can't go wrong with Champ Labs..



She's at Palazio.. she used to be at Yellow Rose (more upscale). She's 100%.. a ho. She did this special showing her house here.. it was a model home. Not even her real place. Like we wouldn't notice, dumb ho. Btw.. Some guy got murdered at Palazio a year ago.. classy. A brosef of mine checked her out.. she loves the pole.

 

And Maj gets the ...

 

A ho you say?

 

Not a gardening tool, right?

 

You can use her to plant your broccoli into her cabbage patch

 

Oh...I get it now.

 

Yummy understands my writing! LoveCha.



Thanks for all of that info, Maj! I never make claims unless I see science. I hate all these people who claim that whatever they do to their own car is the best thing because "they've never had a problem".

Granted, his interpretation of the papers is subjective, there is no doubt that the RP filter is one of the best.

Unless you think his test method is shit?

Edit: I read a similar such study that was actually based on an ISO standard for air filters, where they found that an OEM air filter (it was also for GM) was the best and that K&N was complete shit. I wasn't running K&N but a few of my friends were and got really sad when I sent them that.

 

Does that mean I can speak the Ukrainian??!?

 

I have a thread or post here probably 4 years back.. I was one of the first guys to use / test the RP filter in the community. I even took it apart after 7-8k miles. It is a fucking outstanding filter. But so are VIVA paper towels and you know they're worth the money.



I still use M1 filters as well (usually because oil deals).. but definitely change them by 5k miles.

Talking about air filters. We had a member who was an engineer / research scientist for some government agency. We had this wicked conversation years back about filtration and different media. He schooled us big time in the use of foam and other assorted media for engine air filtration. They ran assorted tests and it pretty much came back that even an oiled foam filter is only good for keeping cats and large mice from getting into your engine.

 

^Really? Pretty sure the K&N lets elephants and planets through.

 

Shit Vlad, I tried finding my post and the post from that air filter nerd.. all I found were heated arguments and hurt buttholes.

 

Shit.. I think I only venture into filter and oil threads once a year now.. just for shits.

 

Speaking Ukrainian is judged only by how well you can curse and sing folks songs when intoxicated.

 

Hahaha :poop: yeah I've given up on that. Too many hurt buttholes and egotistical pricks.

 

Evening boys!

 

Damn, majofo went hard in the paint.
Yeah, I got all that, I mean I'm pretty good at spotting good advice.

My noodle fell out.
What do I do!?

 

I hate it when your noodle falls out.......

 

 

 

Justn, your noodle is always out..

 

also.. srs?

btw.. I just assumed but did the heads come with their own upper timing belt covers or will yours fit? I'm guessing they fit.

 

im hoping they fit! lol
i got frustrated with the covers last weekend again.

i'll noodle the noodle into place.



I'm sick today and the spark plug seals came in.
i'll work on that today

 

and an ASE mechanic chimed in saying i should have changed the pistons.

 

if the block goes, i'll just throw in another J32 or something.

J-engines are cheap!

 

Thanks, Yummy! I missed the post about it.

 

I took all the timing cover gaskets and lubed them with shin etsu. It also helped to kinda hold them in place and in all their tabs. Plus, it renewed the rubber again and gave them another 100K life!

 

^i'm off to get some shitzu grease

 

 

damn, I knew i should have changed the pistons!
