    Cat 623....fix or pitch?

    It's probably ruined. The metal bits have certainly damaged the other bearing as well as the connecting rods. You could replace all that if the crankshaft is still good, but it's going to be at least $300 in parts plus 3-4 hours of work. Keep the manifolds though.

    Proof that no one ever reads signs...

    Simple answer is no. I always run the foam brush with heavy flow because so many people start with it on a dry car. A few people have complained that there's too much soap. So far they all understand when I tell them the main reason why. I also run it rich to get them to spend a little more...

    POS, again

    Even if it was built well, I still wouldn't want a system that doesn't have a fully enclosed tank.

    Arimitsu 516 pump seals

    You'll be prying up/out against the edge of the piston rod, the shoulder that is exposed when you remove the ceramic plunger. Install by slipping the new seal over the well-oiled piston making sure the seal lip doesn't get inverted. Use a piece of PVC pipe or a socket to gently tap it all the...

    Arimitsu 516 pump seals

    To remove the oil seal, first remove the plunger. The best tool I've found is a very old and worn flathead screwdriver with no sharp edges left. Turn the pulley until the piston is as far down as it will go, push the screwdriver in at an angle only touching the shoulder of the piston, not the...

    Cryptopay and Etowah Valley

    I just set my LED7s to "RTRO" so no scrolling message, they just display the startup price static.

    Cryptopay and Etowah Valley

    I would too, I just don't think you can do it with the Etowah Valley timer. On the plus side, Dixmor timers aren't all that expensive. FWIW I would go with the LED7. The only advantage to the LED6 is that it can display the money spent counting up, but the dox matrix displays have a high...

    Just what is going on here?

    Someone created a site called Parler which advertised allowing more freedom of speech than Facebook and YouTube. It got shut down by Amazon since it was being supported by them. I doubt it matters where Trump and his supporters try to go, someone will censor or get it blocked.

    How so?

    Cryptopay and Etowah Valley

    Cryptopay will work with any timer in count-down mode, but I would assume Etowah Valley didn't provide the means to run count-up with their timers. You'd have to call to find out - just call every ten minutes and ask to speak to Jim. Don't bother leaving a message or voice mail, he won't...

    "Car wash bandits" caught

    That's what the police were calling them, three black males were robbing people at gunpoint at various car washes, sometimes beating them and taking their car. They've been caught. Someone posted video of the same thing a couple months ago, I think it was in San Antonio. Might be the same...

    Switching to count up.

    The pulse setting for CC is only used for count-down.

    Pay Station Removal Drunk Driver Style

    That was a Hamilton HTK. It's going to be more like $30,000 after a week or so of down time.

    Shampoo spot removers, brands.

    I ordered the Fragramatics spot remover from Kleen-Rite and they sent me their brand. It works okay but it smells like beer and feet.

    Can I swap out Blendco soaps and use Kleenrite instead?

    That's like going to a whore house and picking the hooker with the fewest visible cold sores.

    Can I swap out Blendco soaps and use Kleenrite instead?

    Not trying to be a dick, but if you think they work comparatively well, you're pretty clueless. There is truly no comparison in how well they work.

    Can I swap out Blendco soaps and use Kleenrite instead?

    Blendco is a good system. Some of Kleen-Rite's soaps are laughable. Their Purple Passion presoak will bead on a dirty car. Straight from their site: "Its neutral pH formula quickly removes tough dirt, grease, bugs, brake dust, and more." It's just scent, color, and a bit of foam. You should...
