    The gun topic(not that gun buddy)

    It's like a 22 cause it is a 22, just with more powder, thats why in the civilian worlds is the.223 caliber...

    you can get automatic rifles in arizona, you just have to purchase a tax stamp to own it, and find it to buy it. Actually saw one for sale at a flea market once.

     

     

    Just stop by Scottsdale Gun Club one day and you can see a whole bunch. They have silencers for sale there too.

    I love to shoot don't get me wrong - but I fail to see why people need to buy silencers for their weapons.

    anyone see this, human powered car?

    Until you're behind it on a two-lane with a 7% uphill grade. Didn't Fred Flintstone come up with a similar vehicle a while ago?

    Tread Lightly

    in Off-Topic

    I don't think you're getting the whole concept of tread lightly. It's not just about hacking up trees and making trails and issues of that nature, it has a lot to do with the fact that there are a lot of diverse ecosystems that may be established and are only in that specific area of the world. Running a 4x4 thru them doesn't really do it a lot of good. That is the whole reason the Tread Lightly approach was even initiated really. From an environmental stand point, That was the main issue with ALL sports in an outside environment. They've adapted the same kind of tread lightly approach to many sports from Mountain biking, Rock Climbing, Hiking, etc, since many of these sports, like us, are suffering from closures of great places.

     

    And Obviously yes I support the Tread Lightly concept. I think Personally it should be a no brainer for anyone that it's critical for not only our sports Future but for all outdoor sports. Not only that, but since we may not know the full benefit of some of these ecosystems that could be destroyed, (remember that our medical system is based on plant/fungi species for treatment of our ailments) We could be destroying a system that could hold remedies and cures to things that we have not discovered cures for yet. Once gone, they could forever be out of our grasp.

     

     

    perhaps I should have just said. x3.

     

     

    Well said.

    Whats the best way to clean aluminum heads?

    in General Forums

    Posted

    Sunday I'm going to start bagging and tagging everything from the VG33 and get stuck into cleaning everything.

    The block is going to be hot-tanked eventually, but I was going to clean everything else myself. For most of the parts that's pretty straight forward, but I don't want to damage anything aluminum in the process - In particular the heads.

    I also am not sure if I am going to replace valve seats so a cleaning process that I can use without having to remove these would be great.

     

    Is there an efficient product that I can use in a parts cleaner which will get most of the grime etc off? Carb cleaner?

    Is it true I can throw them in the dishwasher for a cycle to clean them up really well? Would regular dishwasher powder be safe and would this damage the valve seats or anything else?
