Bro I’m in AZ and failed all the tests for tornado/flood safety. We’re also a small store without any large equipment and failed all the compactor/heavy machinery tests :/ we don’t even have any of the stuff in the videos/tests
This would be my second car in a row this year with a head gasket issue :( I’ll do an oil change and radiator flush this weekend and see if I see any mixed fluids, so far, nothing on the dipstick or in the reservoir is mixed, but it would be my luck. I do have a tiny misfire on cylinder 6 that happens like once every 200 miles
If it’s not leaking, it’s burning. If it’s an automatic, it could be leaking internally through the radiator into the trans cooler. Only other place would be heater core. Check fluids for signs of coolant contamination.
Update: got it! It was the needle. It had some mild scoring on it. We swapped out my needle with the needle on a different bike and my bike was fine and the other bike did the same thing.
The torque convertor will give you the mechanical advantage of a variable ratio. This will allow lower gearing for take off and a higher gearing for speed. The clutch will offer a fixed ratio as determined by the sprocket sizes you choose. Basically the torque convertor is a bit more "forgiving" for the most part. If you have a specific ratio in mind that will provide the performance you require, the clutch might be the way to go. IMHO good luck.
Thank you! That makes sense. I’m definitely leaning more towards the torque converter with reading that. Would I lose top speed at all in comparison to a higher tooth clutch? Or is it actually better for too speed? Basically, I weigh 50lbs less than my bf and I’m currently on a 12t clutch and 60t sprocket but he’s on a 14t clutch and 70t clutch and he’s way faster than me in the high end but struggles to take off. I don’t struggle to take off at all on his cause I’m a lot lighter than him. So I want my bike to be faster but don’t know where to put my money in
It’s just funny because I go to that uhual often for other jobs and the manager and all the employees smoke/vape 😂 I should’ve lied on the application but I figured they only asked to arrange smoke breaks or whatever
Familial Mediterranean Fever. It’s a rare genetic disease that causes excess pyrin production. Honestly the extra endorphins may definitely be doing something. I also have wondered if maybe it’s an immune response. Definitely interesting development that I hope continues
I have probably about 40k in medical debt that I never paid. It’s been 3 years since I got the debt, nothing so far 🤷🏼♀️ I just don’t answer any of their calls or letters.
Lmao thank you 😂 yeah I only keep it cause it’s funny (and honestly really well-done) I’m hoping to put an LS engine in it too and make it an American muscle Miata so it’ll at least fit the part
Her head is lopsided and swollen, and the head-shaking is usually a neurological symptom. If her head wasn’t swollen, I’d suspect distemper. But that looks like possible hydrocephalus. Unfortunately, this is what happens from backyard breeders.
Yes, my PoTS was “triggered” by the vaccine. I have likely had PoTS my whole life, I have had symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, pre-syncope and syncope for years, however upon the vaccination these symptoms, along with 3 other conditions I already lived with became disabling. I have only had 2 vaccines and my life hasn’t been the same since the second one, it’s been over a year now. I’ve not had covid and I’ve repeatedly tested. My PoTS specialist said he’s had so many patients triggered or worsened by the vaccine, but that you’re not allowed to speak about it as you’re labelled “anti-vax”. I’ve never had a reaction to the annual flu jab, the covid vaccines were different however as they were synthetic rather than a live virus like the flu jab. There was a lack of research/trials on the vaccine for people with dysautonomia prior to rolling it out.
Just walk and quit it's not worth all that stress, i have left and I'm 1000 times happier
It just sucks cause I’m in a small rural town and this is the only job that’s less than an hour away :/

If you’re not seeing any coolant on the ground it could be the head gasket unfortunately. It’s not common but also not unheard of.

The heater core is making a lot of gurgling and sloshing noises so hopefully that’s it

Did it rain? The floor looks wet toward the back of the bike.
Oh yeah, that’s oil that I spilled. But no gas is leaking from the bowl or intake. It’s definitely getting gas, I tried that theory too 😪

You want a smaller combustion chamber (14cc reference) to help up compression and larger valves. Ports opened up regardless
Ahhhh gotcha. However with a larger chamber like the 22cc head I have now, would porting and polishing help or open the flow too much?
The fact that I made this joke last week when I saw this video for the first time 😶
Looks like a cocoon of some kind. Put it in a jar and keep an eye on it for a few months.
It’s 100% rock, we smacked it with a piece of quartz and it didn’t take any damage
That's interesting. You should track down someone that does micro CT imaging and see what it looks like inside.
Yeah I still haven’t even gotten any guesses for what it is so maybe that’s a sign that it’s something cool!
Come visit Az some time to take pics with Patriata!
They probably don’t want to cover the insurance costs for a smoker

Ha! You got tricked into exercising more :)
😂maybe if I stop being a pillow princess 99% of the time, I’ll get even better
What is FMF? I think there's something in this. I just wondered if endorpines trumped adrenaline rushes and maybe that's why you feel better haha.

I just did my head gasket. I went with OEM, personally

Wow. They really let it build up there.
Yeaahhh had a heart attack 😂 very expensive medical emergency to have. I had insurance too.
They look like a before pic at one of those charity TikTok barbers
Meh on the car... thats a bit too much 'Murica for me.. girls cute tho.
Lmao thank you 😂 yeah I only keep it cause it’s funny (and honestly really well-done) I’m hoping to put an LS engine in it too and make it an American muscle Miata so it’ll at least fit the part
If you don't mind my asking, how much did it cost you?
Unfortunately, I have no idea! The last owner was actually a painter and did it himself. I got the whole car for 3k 😂

Are you getting the bivalent vaccine? I’ve been on the fence because I’m in the same situation :/
