I am not quite that fervent ... I did have a bunch of time while at work to do a bunch of them.
That was in the past. I don't have near the time at work now.
I try to stay away from the internet at work, actually. It becomes one big squirrel for me ... one which attacks and never lets go, the furry little beastie.

I have occasionally seen a user with a high network-wide rep (ie has a lot of positive interaction on other SE sites) cause a lot of friction on a site they have recently joined by insisting that "the site is doing it wrong." If this occurs here, and causes trouble with the easy g...
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Sorry Paulster, been chasing employment and off the grid. This is what i have for a '92 SVX, but I can't confirm this is appropriate for an EG33. I can't imagine it's that much different... they didn't even invent vacuum until 1982...
Just been surfing through some of the other betas and recently graduated sites which would be peers to mechanics.SE. It makes me feel so much at home here...
I am likely to be forced to use a Volvo V60 in its electric plug-in version for my daily commutes. This is a 2.4l diesel engine with an added plug-in electric motor whose batteries require ca. 8 hours to fully charge. Ideally one would do this at night or at work during the day.
The problem is ...
I've studied about 5 minutes for it. I plan on taking some time this afternoon to go over what I need to know. It's open book/note, so shouldn't be too bad.
I was replacing a brake caliper and wanted to replace the banjo bolt and associated washers. However, the washer was too narrow to allow the banjo bolt to come off. I tried to just reuse the banjo bolt but found that it leaked brake fluid. The conventional wisdom that you shouldn't try to re-u...
It was a stepping stone job for me. My dad made me get a trade to earn money with while I was in college, he didn't care what it was, it just needed to be a skill that I learned. So I picked motorcycle mechanic because I was club racing bikes.
So I got certified and worked in dealerships started college and went into IT.
He was engineer and felt a trade was important for anyone to know regardless of education.
I worked on a lot of Honda's in the late 80's and early 90's because I was at a dealership. All the rest of the manufacturers were a disaster then in terms of reliability Yamama was the pack leader in the shit show arena.
I can't look at it that way. If you ride a MC you have to be aware of your surroundings and own it. If you don't and get hit, then an excuse as to why is irrelevant if your dead.
I"m just trying to set myself up for success rather than failure.
Success = Not getting hit. Taking responsibility, even if I get hit from behind, forces me to consider everything more. That it's my responsibility to survive life, regardless of what I'm doing, not someone else's.
Whenever I've had an incident, I don't focus on what they did from a blame perspective. I focus on what I could have done differently as objectively as I can.
That way I become more focused on my actions and skills rather than being pissed off at all the crappy 4 wheel drivers that are texting, eating and putting on makeup as they drive.
It's good to know there's still at least one person who still thinks that way. :)
And please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that courts don't serve a purpose.
Just - they shouldn't be our first thought when something goes wrong.
Just my opinion, though.
Frankly, now I think of it, personal responsibility vastly increases a person's value in whatever situation, be it driving, moderating, getting a job, studying, or whatever.
I agree. We're a very litigious society. My mother died because of medical errors in a hospital and we didn't sue. We moved on. It wouldn't have changed anything and we would have lived in anger and resentment rather than healing. It wouldn't have punished anyone because of their irresponsibility and we would have received monetary gain, which.....doesn't amount to much when you lose someone you love.
@anonymous2 Totally agree. I ask questions re: personal responsibility when I interview.
What about all the American's that were conscripted to fight for the British in the Royal Navy before America declared war? They were essentially taken captive as slaves against their will.
@SteveRacer - I cannot see the diagram here at work, but I'll assume it's the same one I've seen. I'm pretty sure the EG33 is the only engine they used in the SVX (well, even a little bit more than "pretty sure" ... I'm positive it's the only engine they put in it). So I bet it's the right diagram. May even be the one I stuffed into the answer which was posted.
Alrighty! I'm off to study ... for a test I could care less about ... in a class I have no motivation to take. Argh ... I guess since work is paying for it.
The supposed issues for the war (maritime security, territorial disputes) were settled a few days before the war was declared, but the news arrived to late in America.
Do you have a perspective that the US, at the time, could have felt very threatened by impressment of the sailores who the Brits claimed were actually deserters. Boarding US ships and what not? They were violating sovereignty essentially. OR you see it another way.
The Americans didn't get more land. The "national honour" claims are very hard to verify, and the war didn't appear to do much in that respect in any case.
The Canadians on the other hand, succeeded in defending their land.
Against extreme odds, I might add.
All historians agree that the Indians lost the war.
I have a friend who is an architect that has all the good stuff. I goto his shop and use all his gear usually. Plus, he can help tune up my skills while I'm doing it.
I did a similar trip with him from Phoenix to Portland when he was 15 years and 10 months old. Got his learners permit, did some practice and off we went. 2 weeks camping off bikes.

@anonymous2 He's engineer and has all the cred with me.
I don't have enough data to make a call on whether the wear from cold startups is usually bad enough to contribute to a sizeable portion of piston ring wear or anything else.

There you have it. I've believed it to be true for most of my life but alas, I have no body of citations to really back it up. I still see the answer as 'good'.
That said, if this were a bad enough issue I'm pretty sure the world's leading engine manufacturers would be pioneering efforts to improve the situation
Listen, I'm just going to totally drop the question. I'll leave the answer there for reference, but unless I see something critical in the comments or in chat, I'm going to leave it exactly how it is.
