Hatchet wound? You got to tell the rest of that story, if there is one.

Pretty sure it was the valves. Especially, if this engine was in a dirt-track car. Even with good filtering, it seems that fine dust particles always find a way in. Also something to consider is that if the cam timing was altered for more duration (intake valve open longer), I believe that would effect the compression numbers (slightly lower), since a compression test is normally done with the starter (slow-turning). Some of the air gets pushed back through the intake.

What if it's unnecessary? Remember Ritalin? Lot's of parents unnecessarily medicating their kids, because they felt they couldn't handle their high energy, and claiming ADD. Maybe what they couldn't handle was discipline. Wimps. I hardly hear anyone talk about ADD or ADHD anymore. Did we cure it, suppress it, or is it just no longer trendy? When criteria for autism diagnosis is so severely relaxed, (1 in 10K to 1 in 31) you have to ask the questions: 1. Was it really that big of an under-diagnosis problem, or is it just now becoming an epidemic? Why? 2. Are they now over-diagnosing? 3. Who is benefiting most from the avalanche of autism diagnoses? The patient? The doctors? The drug companies? (Probably, not the insurance companies) I don't really know the answers to any of these questions, but I do know they should be asked when such a drastic change is documented.

I wasn't speaking to severe cases where it's obvious, and needs professional attention. What you described sounds more like bi-polar disorder than autism, but I'm not an expert.

Not a pharmacist, so I can't. However, that doesn't mean they, or doctors, won't try to sell you something for symptoms. If not them, the "supplement" industry will be all over it (with outlandish claims).

Don't forget lot's of pharmaceutical companies just itching to sell you medication.

It's just a by-product of your aversion to the cold. Enjoy.

Not a fan of chrome, so my first thought was to have the chrome removed and powder-coat the whole thing. No corrosion problems after that.

That includes installing it on the multi-tool.

Don't know how much I would use it, but I want one. https://www.harborfreight.com/collections/new-tools/electrical-box-cut-out-saw-for-oscillating-multi-tools-70305.html

New tariff? Where is that stick-poking emoticon?

I'll own it this time, but that's extremely hard to tell with this bunch, and changes with every subject.

Business trip? I have never traveled far for what I would consider "medical reasons". Just vacation or business. Even then, I've only left the USA one time (Canada, 2003 I think). Never owned a passport, yet.

An F-150 crew with the rear seats removed would make for awesome indoor storage (or if you travel with big dogs). The 2012 FX-2 I had was always taken on vacation, because the back seat was so big. Just as much room as in the front seat. I miss that truck.

LOL. FTFY.

LOL. No hate here, but those names don't come to mind when thinking about SUV's. Yes, I know they make them. I remember a time when the word "sport-bike" would never make me think of BMW. Still working a little bit on that one.

Never heard it called tourism before. I certainly wouldn't have called it that.

Now who's not being happy with anything? I thought you loved the Cruz? Of course, with your money I would have went straight for the Lexus (or Infinity, Acura). Would never have considered Hyundai.

Medical tourism?? WTF is that, beyond going to Mexico for a cheaper procedure that isn't covered by insurance?

Still have to have the right amount of stroke on the new jack (or at least close), but I like your thinking.

So, it's an "undocumented cure"? 🤭

Same place the green goes when it gets super cold. Just takes a little longer to get there.

Carlos, after reading this entire thread, I'm convinced your only option is to go to a Star Trek convention and start asking around. 🤓

LOL. Even mine looks better than that, but it's one fourth the size. Wait, I have two. One is mounted on the wall, and the holes are drilled at an angle.

Not together. If I was going to mix up something horrifying, I'd make a peanut butter and bologna sandwich. And, no, I didn't just pull that combo out of thin air. I ate that as a kid, more than once. Not sure why, but don't remember it tasting bad. Nutritionally, I could have done much, much worse.
