Carburetor Rebuild Kit and Leaking Head Gasket

2008-11-19 – 9:27 下午

Question:

Hi, I was wondering why fuel is leaking out of my carburetor? When it is running it started as a drip at first and now it is leaking heavily. Would a carburetor kit fix that problem? And what comes in the kit?

Another question is, is it normal for oil to be in my radiator or is there a serious problem that needs attended to right away. i have a 1986 Ford Ranger pickup it has A 2.0 4 cylinder engine i barrel carburetor please help any help would be appreciated thanks.

Answer:

A rebuild kit may help, but the leak may be from a crack in the carb too. I would remove the carb, look for any broken or leaking gaskets. Sometimes there are plugs in the bottom of the carb which can come loose. Carb kits usually have gaskets, float, needle and seat. If you floats are leaking, or the seat is worn, it will cause a flooding condition and you will see fuel leaking.

Oil in the radiator, indicates a leaking head gasket. I would get it checked/fixed ASAP before it turns into more of a problem. A competent mechanic can do a compression test and check for a bad head gasket.

Exhaust Gasket

2008-11-17 – 9:06 下午

There are actually a total of FOUR Exhaust Gaskets on the Stock Exhaust Pipe, (Only three for a Staintune) however the most common ones that fail are the two at the Engine/Header pipe connection.

They are:

One on each (total of 2#) of the Exhaust manifold connections to the Cylinder Head, which look like this. This is a close-up of one of them. It is the Silver Ring, which is very soft (crushable) metal sandwiching a Gasket Material.
One (1#) where one of the Exhaust Manifold U-pipes meets the collector pipe (that goes to the other exhaust port in the cylinder head. This is a photo of where it goes Refer to Exhaust Pipe to Collector Gasket, below for details.
One (1) where the exhaust collector meets the exhaust pipe that goes to the muffler, just before the crossover pipe.

India look to seal series in Kotla

2008-11-02 – 7:38 下午

New Delhi (PTI): With the Australians stripped off their cloak of invincibility and squirming in an unfamiliar rut, a domineering India sniff an opportunity to seal the four-match series at their happy hunting ground when the third Test gets underway here on Wednesday.

India’s thumping 320-run win in Mohali was a rude jolt to the Aussies, for whom, winning so far was just a matter of habit. It was the manner, and not merely the margin, of defeat in Mohali which punctured Australia’s aura of invincibility and suddenly the world champions looked as fragile as any other team.

In contrast, India’s brusque openers and the middle order batsmen have blunted the Australian attack with disdain while their brash leather-flingers ran through the Australian batting order like knife through butter.

Rattled by the Mohali mauling, Australia decided to take a couple of days’ off, purportedly for an introspection, and even though they believe the grey areas have been addressed and the mistakes would not recur, Ferozeshah Kotla’s tremendous bias towards the hosts is the sort of statistics, which is least likely to amuse the Aussies.

India have won the last seven Tests here in a row and the only time Australia managed to win here was way back in 1959 when Richie Benaud used to skipper the side. Mark Taylor embarked on a similar mission in 1996 but was sent packing within four days before a seven-wicket defeat was shoved down the visitors’ throat.

Snack ‘n Seal Packaging for Junk Food

2008-10-29 – 10:16 下午

Nabisco is now offering their Oreo Cookies in this new “Snack ‘n Seal” packaging.
Once used largely for moist-towelettes, this type of resealable packaging is making its way into the snack food industry. It’ll probably work out great for junk stuff like Oreos that don’t have to be sealed and refrigerated.

Tribological properties of graphite -like and diamond-like ca

2008-09-15 – 9:25 下午

Two hard, carbon-based solid lubricant coatings, Graphit-iC2 and Dymon-iC2, have been developed which offer considerable benefits over traditional diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings. Both have extremely high wear resistance and load-bearing capa-bility, in contrast to many commercial DLCs which tend to be brittle, and very low friction characteristics.

The development of the coatings is described, and details of their tribological properties in air and water are given.

The structure of the coatings has been studied and related to the tribological properties, and the mechanism for the

low friction and wear rates is discussed. The coatings are proving successful in increasing the lifetime and efficiency

of many mechanical parts, including automotive fuel injec-tion components, gears, bearings, tappets, gudgeon pins, etc. They offer benefits for tooling, used for forming or

machining of soft materials, and are used on dies and moulds. Other application areas include surgical tools and implants

Gasket

2008-06-05 – 8:32 下午

A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two objects, generally to prevent leakage between the two objects while under compression. Gaskets save money by allowing less precise mating surfaces on machine parts which can use a gasket to fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, Neoprene, fiberglass, or a plastic polymer (such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene). Gaskets for specific applications may contain asbestos. It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a material that is to some degree compressible such that it tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularities.
