|maybe make friends with someone(or pay a local) to represent you at the shop?If it was a shop near me,I would say ship me the engine and I would drive down to the shop with the crate and stand there and watch.Im sure if they are a good shop they will help you to some degree.I know most shops dont warrant "race" engines
not blaming you but,if there is going to be a problem,its going to be right away most of the time.I hope the builder helps you out.I hope when you get it back in its home,you drive the car hard in the first few days.To make it easier on the builder and show good faith,you should offer to pay for an upgrade to a roller cam while it is apart.If its mild,use a hydraulic roller.Let him make a couple bucks on the cam and he will likely be ok with helping you out.
If its not to far,drive the engine down there and be there when they take it apart?Let him explain what happened while you are looking at it. a picture is worth a 1,000 words. example; if the oil pick up is sitting in the bottom of the pan,,,not a thing you did would cause that.It takes 15 minutes to take an engine apart,,,
|Well guys thanks for the advice! I've been pretty sick to my stomach. I've got the motor almost ready to pull. I was going to finish pulling it on my off day and then pull the pan and see what's going on, but I really started thinking about the whole thing which got me more angry. Yes, there is a 1yr warranty on the motor and I'm at exactly 1yr and 2 months, but other than the 4hr dyno time (Per shop statement) I may have driven a total of 500 miles max in that time frame. Always using oil with zddp since It has a flat tappet cam in it. Really no reason for it to be doing what its doing. Im curious to know what has happened. I decided to call the shop that built it and he was pretty cool about it and told me to pay the shipping there and back and they would break it down to see what happened and if it was there fault they would take care of the expense, but if it was my fault they would do the labor for free, but I would have to pay for the parts. Thats pretty good!!! But lets see how it goes!! Oe thing I'm worried about is I can't investigate for my self because I don't want it to look like I tampered with it by breaking things loose. Clearly I've done nothing to cause this. t could be very easy for them to say I have. Sounds like a straight up guy, but I don't know. I'm not sure what it is, but it definitly sounds like its coming from the crank area using my "Mechanics Stethescope". Sound was louder toward the middle of the pan. Anyway, guess the decision on who's fault it is lies in his hands. Thanks again for the replies and next time I will build it myself. Less Stress. Father passed years ago and the last motor I built with him was 20yrs ago, so I figured I'd pay someone else. Over the past 2 days I went back looking at my fathers manuals and some of it started coming back pretty quick! Sure wish the old man was still here to help me with this one.
|I would at least call the place you got the engine from, maybe if you ask nice they will still help you. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
If the motor is making metal the thing to do is to tear it down before you run it anymore and find out where it's coming from. A spun bearing will get worse fast. If caught early it might just need a rod resized or the block aligned honed along with a rering kit. Oil pressure will start dropping if a motor has spun a bearing. It may get harder to crank over as well.
There is really no limit how bad it can get if a spun bearing is allow to continue to run. If you're lucky it will just lock up. If you're not so lucky it could tear up a bearing bore passed the point of repairing or even break a rod and the broken piece of rod could punch a hole in the block.
When you tear it down don't forget to take a good look at the cam and lifters. You might be starting to loose a lobe off the cam.
pull it apart,measure everything,check crank for straight if its forged. If a bearing is spun,plan on resizing the rods. Now when you put it back together you will know every single detail.Aim for a perfect blue print.The learning experience,though expensive will be worth it.
remember,perfection is acceptable
Spun bearing?
Ok, short and to the point. I had a 496 built and shipped to 1yr 1 month ago which the warranty ended at 1 yr. Being this was a weekend cruiser I haven't driven it a whole lot, and I only took it to the track a twice shifting at 5,500 rpm. What I'm getting at is not much use in a year! Well I heared it rattling the other day when I first cranked it, but it went away after it warmed up. So I cranked it again yesterday same thing, but louder so I got my mechanic stethoscope out and I can hear it in the center of the pan. Drained the oil and the oil had metallic dust with a little metal in it ( I stuck a magnet in the oil and let it sit over night) I also cut the oil filter, but it was clean! I've always went concervative on motors, so if there was a problem with motor you had some metal left to work with (Bore it) 1st time going with a stroked motor. If its a bearing can the motor be repaired or is it shot and I need a new block? I'm not familiar with stroked motors. I can't believe it's spun a bearing already with no abuse! Unbelievable, but guess what I missed the warranty by 1 month thousands lost. Makes me sick! Gonna pull the pan once I pull it to see how bad it is.
Thank for your input?

Hello all,
This is Alex here – I'm a new poster.
Myself and a friend are going over to either Thailand or Vietnam to do a tefl course (CELTA backed by Cambridge) using either the international house of Bangkok (in Bangkok or Chiang Mai) or Discover ELT Vietnam (in Ho chi minh city). Both providers look very good but I wanted anyones advice on employability once out there and any recommendations or feedback if anyone had first hand experience on the two providers of CELTA (websites below).

|MK1 Interior Mods & Upgrades The place to chat about performance gauges, shifter knobs, custom interior paint, car seats or any interior upgrades for the 2000-2007 Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|ahhh i thought i could just unscrew the plastic cap on the door pillar where it plugs in with the rubber piping that goes to the door take the door card off and take all the wire harness out of the door and replace it with a harness from a car the mirrors came off
Added to the archive. If you want to PM me your address I can send some decals your way. Thanks for the write-up.
|I'm gonna need this to do... my Mom's Egg Yolk Yellow '00: perfect!
|Very good and detailed write-up! This should be added to the how-to archive.
Part three: Questions/Troubleshooting
Q. How long did this take?
A. It took me about 2 hours (4, if you count the rain delays)
Q. Help! My mirror doesn't go <insert direction here>
A. Check your wiring - each wire is specific to two things: mirror side (driver/passenger) & direction (up/down, left/right)
If your driver side mirror doesn't go up/down, check the blue/red wire/connection.
If your driver side mirror doesn't go left/right, check the yellow/blue wire/connection
If your passenger side mirror doesn't go up/down, there are two possible areas to check: the blue/yellow wire, and the
white/red, white/green/solid white wire junction
If your passenger side mirror doesn't go left/right, there are two possible areas to check: the yellow/violet wire, and the
white/red, white/green/solid white wire junction
(I'm not entirely sure what purpose the solid white wire has. I DO know that it definitely needs to be tapped into
the white/red, white/green wire in order for both sides to function)
Q. Help! None of my mirrors work!
A. Again, check your wiring. Specifically, check the orange/blue & orange/yellow (your power wires) and make sure there's a
good connection. If that fails, check fuse #35 in your fuse panel (it's the fuse for the interior lights - if you look at the schematic, you'll see that that wire branches off into the interior lighting) If the fuse checks out fine, then go through your connections. It's possible that theres a bad connection, bad wire, bad switch, or heck, even a bad mirror.
Q. Hey... wait. I have two/four extra wires that aren't connected! What gives?
A. Depending on the color (Green/black, Green/orange, and 2 black) It seems that you bought/salvaged power mirrors that have the built in heater/de-fogger. The mirrors I salvaged from the junkyard didn't have the built in heaters/de-foggers.
Part two: Install
Step 1: Remove the corner piece that houses the manual mirror adjustment.
There are two metal pieces on the outer edge, and a bigger clip just above the bolt hole. You can use a small flathead
screwdriver to push the plastic tabs off the metal tangs, (chances are the plastic tabs will slide off fine, leaving the
metal tabs on the door) and then use gentle pressure to undo the bigger clip that's in the middle. (just above the bolt hole)
Danger Will Robinson, Danger! - the two metal tangs on the inner part of the bezel has 4 sharp corners - like needle
sharp - so be wary of them. I've marked them with a "1" in the picture below. I wouldn't say this if I didn't manage to stab
myself in the thumb while taking this piece off, LOL
Step 2: Unbolting/screwing the old mirror.
Using the 10mm socket & 6" extension, remove the bolt holding the mirror to the door (number 2 in the picture). Once that's
removed, use the T20 Torx bit to remove the Torx screw (immediately to the right of the mirror adjustment knob - see above
picture for reference)
Step 3: Removing the door panel cover
Using the T20 bit again, remove the paneling screws from around the edge of the door panel. If I remember right, there are 7
or 8: 2 along the outer edge of the door (by the door latch), 2 along the inner edge (by the door hinge) and 3-4 along the
Once that's done, using a butter knife, go ahead and pop out the door handle cover. You should see two bronze/gold colored
bolts - one at the top of the handle, and one at the bottom of the handle. Use the 7mm socket on the screwdriver thing (a
normal sized ratchet/extension wont fit in the hole, it's kinda small) and remove those two bolts.
Once that's taken care of, the panel will come off if you lift up & away at a 45 degree angle. If it doesn't come off easily,
double & triple check to make sure you didn't miss a bolt (door handle) or screw (along the edge of the door panel).
After all is said and done, you should be greeted with the following:
(Don't ask what's up with the duct tape holding the styrofoam - I didn't know what specifically was used to adhere the foam
to the door, so, I improvised, LOL)
Step 4: Test fitting the power mirror
Pretty self explanatory - there's a few posts that fit into the holes (including the post where the torx screw was) make sure
it all fits together nicely, then go ahead and bolt the mirror to the door (10mm socket) and tighten down that Torx screw
Step 5a: Directional Wiring
Once the mirror is bolted/screwed down, you can go ahead and re-clip the bezel into the corner. But, before you do that, go
ahead and plug in the black clip into the back of the switch - it's keyed, so it'll only fit one way.
After that, go ahead and plug the mirror connector into the mirror, then tuck the wires leading into the connector (to the
mirror) into the bezel, then clip it into place.
Double check to make sure that you're not pinching the wires with the tab/slot
There should be 6 extra wires dangling off the pig tail that aren't connected to anything:
Control wires:
Yellow/Violet: (yellow wire, with a strip of violet - this controls Left/Right motions for the passenger mirror)
Blue/Yellow: (blue wire, with a strip of yellow - this controls Up/Down motions for the passenger mirror)
White/Red: (white wire, with a strip of red)
Power wires:
Orange/Yellow: (orange wire, with a strip of yellow - this is your hot/powered wire)
Black: (Ground)
Solid white: (not sure what it's purpose is, but it eventually needs to be connected to the white/red & white/green wires)
These six wires can get routed through the rubber grommet that's below the mirror (see picture for reference)
Now, here's where it gets a bit confusing...
Coming off the drivers side pig tail, you have yellow/violet, blue/yellow, and white/red.
Coming off the passenger side pigtail, you'll have yellow/violet, blue/yellow, and white/green
At this point, I extended the yellow/violet, blue/yellow, and white/red wires, and ran them under my dash to connect to the
pig tail on the other side.
You essentially match the colors up, with the exception of the white/red wire, which gets connected to the white/green wire.
You can verify this by looking at the schematic in the first part of this guide.
On the drivers side door, you're going to have to use the crimp connector to connect the white/red wire, to the
white/red extension (which will go to the white/green wire on the passenger side), and then, use a vampire tap on the
white/red wire and splice in the solid white wire.
Your connection/splice will ultimately look like this:
(Apologies, lol... I never claimed to be Picasso )
The way I did it, was I extended the wires first, then ran them through the rubber boots that connected my speakers to my
stereo (I did NOT splice INTO the speaker wires, I just used the protection of the rubber hose that was there) Then, I snaked
it to the rubber grommet below it, to bring the extended wires into the cabin.
Once they were in the cabin, I ran them under the dash, behind the stereo (and glove box). Once I reached the passenger side,
I ran it through the way I did on the driver side (rubber grommet, then the rubber hose, and into the door) then used the
crimp connectors to connect to the pigtail.
Step 5a: Power/ground Wiring
On the driver side floor well, there's a panel on the left side. (Below the fuse panel). There are two large plastic screws &
a tab holding it into place.
(I had my cell phone tilted weird, lol)
Remove the screws, and gently pry the tab out to unclip it.
Next, remove the vertical trim piece, which will help expose the grounding bolt you will use to ground your wiring, and tap
into the power supply.
Once that's done, you'll see a bundle of wires. Gently spread them apart, and look for a orange/blue wire (solid orange, blue
Now, on the drivers side pigtail, look for the orange/yellow (orange wire, yellow stripe). You're going to need to extend the
orange/yellow wire so you can use a vampire tap to splice into that orange/blue wire.
The solid black wire, will be your ground - you'll probably need to extend it (unless you found a closer ground point), crimp
a U connector on it, (the piece with a little bit of yellow on it) then ground that wire. (See pic below)
Now, according to the schematic, the orange/blue wire will be constantly hot (have power). You shouldn't have to turn the
ignition on in order to use the mirrors.
After that, go ahead and test the mirrors to make sure they move in all directions.
If everything works like it should, go ahead and button up your doors, and you'll be good to go!

How-To: Power Mirror Conversion (56K warning!)
I've been looking for a guide on how to do a power mirror conversion. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find one...at least, one for the Focus. So, I figured that when I was ready to take the plunge, I'd document the steps I took in order to do this conversion.
With that said, here is a list of everything I used (some items are optional - those will be marked with an **)
Part one: Materials, hardware, and tools - oh my!
Silcone sealant ** ( You can use this to seal the end of the crimp connectors from water, where the wire goes in the connector. Also, this will add some strain relief on the wires.)
Heat shrink tubing ** (This can be used in place of the silicone sealant, to help prevent moisture from working it's way down into the crimp connectors)
Wiring diagram (see image below - Note: This wiring diagram is for a 2002 Ford Focus )
22-18 gauge crimp connectors: I bought these ones: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=600833_0_0_
They come 10 to a pack (5 male, 5 female). You'll probably need 2 packs. One for connecting the wires, the other for extending the mirror wires. (A third pack might be wise, to have extras just in case)
18 gauge wire: You can buy a 3 pack of 15 foot rolls from Rat...erm.. Radio Shack for about 7.99 (plus tax) The Radio Shack part number is 278-1226
"Vampire" taps: (for those that are unaware, a vampire tap allows you to splice into a line without making a permanent cut.) The ones I used for this project are these: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...questid=711072
Drivers side & passenger side mirror, mirror switch, and corner/face plates (no clue what it's really called) (visit your local scrapyard, or alternatively, you can get them for about 50-60 bucks brand new from a store like AutoZone/Advanced Auto Parts - the ones listed below are your ordinary, garden variety power mirror. Ie: They are NOT heated)
Drivers side & passenger side pig tail, including the block connector to the switch (This is the drivers side. The passenger side will have just the red/black piece thats towards the top of the picture) (see pic below)
Wire strippers/crimpers
10mm & 7mm sockets
Ratchet w/ extension
screwdriver/ratchet (no clue what its called - it has a ridged handle like a screw driver, but the tip has a squared end for putting a socket on it)
T20 Torx screwdriver (For some reason, the passenger side mirror I pulled had this screw in the lower left corner. The other one didn't.

From what I've read mamma will be booting those chicks soon. I think it's best to let nature take her course there. It won't be long now, usually between six and eight weeks old.
Twb. Has your question been answered well enough? I just noticed this thread now.
Twb, just throw them all together, I know two pens can be a bummer and they can keep warmer with the numbers.
I can get layer crumbles, and I've stuck with that form. I mistakenly bought a bag of pellets, they hated them. They ate them, because they'd starve if they didn't, but they really didn't like them. Back to crumbles and they're happy.
Brian, mine are the same. I think it's what they are used to. I don't use the crumbles cause of the waste. I keep trying to have a compost pile but the chix eat everything!! The pigeons eat the popcorn type corn like yours do but leave the wheat...I toss it on the ground for the feral bunny & chix. J
Oooh, another question. What about the bones after one cooks turkey soup. Does anyone give those leftover cooked bones, skin and mucky stuff to the chickens? Comments....have a wonderful and great life, day, health. Cindi
I really don't want to ever fall where they can find me! :shock: Took em about an hour for the thanksgiving turkey,(21lbs) looked like the bones in a museum..they are like pirhana or TRex!!

After helping the Canisius College women's lacrosse team to a 2-0 week, both sophomore Tori Quinn and senior Morgan Leonard were honored by the MAAC on Monday. Quinn collected the conference's Offensive Player of the Week award, while Leonard was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Week.
Quinn led the Canisius attack to the wins over LIU Brooklyn and Duquesne, totaling 12 points, 10 goals and two assists. In Tuesday's win against the Blackbirds, Quinn set a career high with six points on four goals and two assists. She then duplicated her feat with another six points in Sunday's 11-9 overtime victory against the Dukes, scoring six of the team's 11 tallies, including the game-winning goal in the extra session.

Federal disaster aid is on its way to help Washington County recover from its severe flooding, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Saturday.
On Sept. 11, heavy rains breached an earthen dike above Santa Clara, flooding dozens of homes and businesses and causing more than $3 million in public property damage. The costs exceeded the county's ability to pay for the repairs on its own.
After county leaders declared a state of emergency, President Barack Obama signed his own declaration Saturday to open up federal funds on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the storms.
"There's been a lot going on with the campaign and Sandy, we were worried we were going to be buried," said Santa Clara City Manager Ed Dickie. But after much hoping and waiting, he said he was "very happy" when word of the funds came down Saturday morning.
Federal funds are also available for hazard-mitigation measures across the state.
The city has been able to repair some infrastructure and sidewalks and created temporary water channels, but the 40-foot dike still needs to be repaired, Dickie said.
"It's a huge project, and we [had] no money for it," he said.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service also promised $70,000 in federal funds for Santa Clara, though Dickie said it has yet to arrive.

30 Day Ride Out Guarantee With this Surfboard - Don't like it? swap it
Slater Designs Sci-Fi surfboard 6ft 2 Futures - White
Product Details
The entire surf community has been counting down to the official launch of the Slater Designs surfboards.
The first board in the line-up is the Sci-Fi, shaped by Daniel 'Tomo' Thomson and produced using Firewire's LFT (Linear Flex Technology) with the addition of a carbon fibre strip down the centre of the board for added strength and flex.
The Sci-Fi is designed to perform in anything from waist to just over head high waves, but like some of the other Tomo shapes will probably be comfortably surfed in bigger and better waves than it was originally intended.
The overall look is pretty space-age with a flat low entry rocker and a wide bat-tail to help carry speed and prevent bogging down through the flats and fat sections of the wave. Paddling is the key to catching weaker waves, and the flatter rocker will assist in that department.
Kelly says; "The Sci-Fi is a board that has an inverted round tail curve. If you take those lines, cut and invert them, they form this bat tail of sorts. It's a throwback to a board I had as a kid in that way. This tail has tons of area and a relatively flat rocker that helps with lift and planing. The tail and bottom curves give a nice lift and bite but also allow a very manoeuvrable board with good control. I like the quad version for such a large area but the Thruster has a great feel here also. Maybe I'll try it as a twin fin. Any other reasons you picked this board? When Tomo and I started surfing his boards together, this one really stuck out to me and so we tuned it in for what seemed unique and performed well. It looks like a novelty idea but once you ride a wave it's clear it's anything but that".
The Sci-Fi is the shortboard Kelly road on the now famous unveiling of his wave-pool, yes it's a perfect wave but you can definitely see the potential.
Firewire's Linear Flex Technology (LFT) has proven itself over the last couple of years to be the go-to construction for the perfect blend of durability and flex. LFT features an 18mm wide composite Springer HD Suspension System that runs the length of the board (in effect a space age stringer) and is overlaid with a top-deck sheet to improve the boards resistance to 'ridging' often seen on traditional PU boards with a wooden stringer. LFT produces a feel somewhat akin to a brand-new PU board, but with a huge hike in durability, this will last for the lifespan of the board! Enjoy the lively sensation of a brand new board with the added durability of modern sandwich construction.

Overall Customer Rating
Fred H. (reviewed 15/03/2017)
So the Sci Fi was my big bet, a performance shortboard, shorter than any board I've ever owned but with equivalent volume. Looks like a board for young ultra fit super light Groms... At 83 kg with a 6'1 in hand I started wondering if I was completely off target. This thing takes off on anything, its insane. My best session of the trip was on a nice powerful and hollow beach break with overhead and a half sets with a very fast very radical take off. The Sci Fi is so fast and so nimble it fulfilled all my wishes of what a short board should be. Its like I wasted 10 years of surfing with my 6'6... I was carving backside and it felt like I was on a rail, completed bottom turns practically lying down in front of the wave. I was flying through sections, paddling around the whole line up catching everything in sight and driving guys crazy (it was a first in my surfing career and felt pretty damn good!).
The cons of this board is that it is extremely reactive so doesn't forgive small mistakes and it doesn't like choppy conditions. I hit a couple chops on some waves and literally flew over the handle bars. I don't even dare imagine how this board is going to perform in super glassy offshore conditions.
Ian's advice on size and volume was perfect despite my endless doubts and questions. Service at boardshop is really perfect.

Super drivey, loads of grip but loose and really easy to surf! It's so drivey on rail but if you go into the lip it releases and pushes the fins out easily! Such fun 2 surfs yesterday which is rare on a new board Glad I went up the litre as I think the 5'6 would have been too loose and would have sacrificed drive Thanks for sorting it out
