I am glad I installed a catch can. It alerted me to my "fuel in the oil" issue.
I check the contents of the catch can every couple of weeks. My truck has 7,300 miles on it. Every time it was checked there was almost nothing in it. I was to the point of thinking I wasted my money. Then about...
I agree with AZScorpion. A safe is, well, much safer. Furniture is nice but in the world today one cannot be too careful with their firearms.
I know I would have a hard time replacing several of mine. Even with the insurance money many of mine just cannot be replaced. Even the modern firearms...
Back in June I suggested a good PDR guy might be able to fix it. Those professional PDR guys have all kinds of special, cool, and expensive tools. A good PDR guy is like a magician.
Good job! Especially considering the tools you had at your disposal.
You are certainly not alone. It's never too late. It is cyclical thing. When the good times come back around jump on it and plan for the bad times. Always buy more than you need. Even a little bit helps.
I cast my own bullets. And always bought lead when I ran across it. I think I have about...
I don’t know how some people can sleep at night.
I am fortunate to be able to reload for the 12 or so calibers I have guns for. Over the last few years if I needed a thousand primers I would by three thousand. Same with powder. I will be 68 in a short time and there is no way I’ll outlive what...
When the oil was changed the level was just below full. It has risen a little less than half an inch.
After driving 130 miles today there was about 3/4 ounce of liquid in my catch can. It ignited easily with a match and completely burned in about 20 seconds. The oil level appears to be about...
Update:
Service writer does not think oil level rising almost to the hole in the dip stick is an issue in light of not getting a warning light on the dash for a misfire. SMDH. He wants me to monitor it for two weeks. And monitor the contents of the catch can. Told him it was about a third full...
Thanks Chris. I decided to start the process before I have the oil analyzed. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to have it "looked at". Thank you for the phone numbers. I bet I will be calling them tomorrow afternoon.
I don't have a lot of experience with this dealership. The last new Ford I...
Here we go. I check the contents of my catch can every other week or so. It has had a little oil in it most times I've checked. Yesterday was different. It was about half full of what looked and smelled like gasoline. So I checked the dip stick for the oil level. Sure enough it is over full...
Thought I would share an oldie but goodie. This is my 1906 Smith and Wesson 32 S&W Top Break Revolver.
Still locks up tight and shoots well for a firearm that is 114 years old. Ammo is fairly scarce so I cast my own bullets and make all of my own ammo. Don't really shoot it much though.
I have...
Take a little time and read this. It will answer a lot of questions and take months off the learning curve for shooting cast bullets.
It doesn’t discuss Hi-Tek coating or Powder Coating but that stuff is really not difficult.
