What kind? Before we moved I did tech at our local theatre which was pretty cool. I got to see some neat shows, I'm a particular fan of Little Shop of Horrors.

No sir it was actually empty, which I suspect was because my SIL didn't fill it up properly. We filled it and now waiting to see what happens. Pressure test looked okay; Im not an expert - I am still leaning leaking head gasket like someone mentioned so that may be a reseal job. It's got 212k KM or around 170-80k mi so I dunno if it is really worth it but I don't want to buy a new car till my wife is working again. We're comfortable but I'm also buying a LOT of materials and tools during my home renovation which is stretching into 1.5 years.

I heard it was only applied to new, not existing. But essentially if you have a good credit score (700-800+) you will end up paying more in fees or rate compared to someone with worse credit. Ditto if you can afford to put down more of a down payment. I did zero research, but that was my understanding from a NPR broadcast and some whatver internet article.

Overflowing reservoir can be a head gasket sign. There is a way to test for bubbles in the coolant by pressurizing the combustion chamber. Rotate engine so valves are closed, pressurize and look into the radiator is the general idea. I’m looking for a better explanation on another forum I’m a member of.

Oh, that's rad. I enjoy metal but don't really get out to live shows in general, but there's a couple bands I'd really like to see live. Bad Religion, NOFX, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, Propagandhi, and Iron Maiden are probably my top five. But Psychostick and Gwar also seem like they'd be super fun.

i see 'show' i think 'car show'

that'll prob be a little on sunday at dustoff.

then strippin enduro car time

I had someone refer to Autocross as a 'car show', I cringed so hard I nearly folded over myself. Similar to the reaction when a dealer (after requesting maximized camber using the factory provisions, Street class AX car) said 'we know you want your car to look a certain way, but we couldn't get much out of it without excessive toe'... I accept that she was just a service advisor and had no idea what we were up to, but it was unpleasant to say the least.

Still far from the worst dealership experiences I've had, and the service techs seem to do a pretty solid job on the occasions I need them to handle something and pricing isn't awful.

@mwoodski when are the wheels going on?

@clownish

This info is for a D17 Honda engine with a known head gasket issue that fails all standard head gasket tests. I’m sure it could be applied to other engines. I’m quoting one of our members.

“Half of the bad head gaskets I see on this engine will pass every test you guys have mentioned. These almost never leak externally. These almost always leak from the combustion chamber into the cooling system, and that's it. That's all.

My procedure:
Start with a hot engine, pull out plugs and rad cap:
Pressurize each cylinder (@tdc, one at a time) with shop air line pressure 150-170+ PSI. Watch for the coolant level to rise when you get to the bad one. (sometimes this is a slow process)
If no results, then wait for the engine to cool down and repeat this same procedure on each cylinder.

If it passes this test, then it's probably ok right now.”

That sounds rad, and I think I'm going to have to start hunting for more like it. We're not far from Harrisburg which seems to have a lot of neat cultural stuff available.
