I'm not sure what "traditional riviting" is, though.

Every time a friend posts pictures of steam engines at fairs and such I scan the background carefully looking for Grim...

You should knock some together Grim... Doesn't your dad have access to steam engines and classic cars? You could make some belters.

Yeah I think we would not even get the engines started, which would probably be for the best. So it depends on the mission. We could have fun until all the food ran out I reckon. That's what I was wondering. If we could even get it going, get ...

My tongue was firmly in my cheek ;) I do think however that all the crap they have to lob into and around diesel engines and exhaust systems to make them work in an 'acceptable manner' is somewhat OTT though. There's not much difference. Turbo to improve power and economy, same ...

... tuners like to block off and map out of use. Unfortunately using this far more heavily than it was originally designed for is definitely causing engines to run badly and is killing EGRs in quick succession.

Closing 10 fire stations, cutting firefighters by 552, losing 14 fire engines and cutting minimum staffing levels from 5 to 4. By the time he steps down as Mayor of London he inflicts a further £100m in cuts to £130m total ...

... It's not anything to worry about per se, once your car's 'loss rate' has been established it'll stay the same and not get any worse, and the engines are now routinely getting up to 100-150K without issues, just make sure you've got a steady supply of oil available. It's not even just the ...

Oh yeah. Start your engines!

Sure. Engines have littles fires in them.

... and I seem to have been trying to move some branches from a small tree that were on the ground. I have no idea why. I heard the sound of jet engines and when I looked up, three jet fighters were flying overhead. Then I saw another aircraft, that I firstly thought was another jet fighter, ...

... gauge on capillary pipe, electric oil temp gauge and a bright oil pressure light on a pressure switch with a buzzer. The buzzer is oc when the engines off by way of a voltage sensitive relay. And a nice ping noise when you open the door with the side lights on.

... drained the sump, filled the petrol tanks and ran them at full throttle or 10k+rpm in a garage until the fuel ran out. They then took the engines apart and there was some wear but not catastrophic levels of damage. But, it could have all been a weird dream. I knew i wasn't dreaming. Ha ...

That's incredible - Jap engines are just unreal.
If you tried that kind of caper on the Harley - despite making a fraction of the specific power output and redlining at a mere 5500RPM, it would probably implode on you, not least 'cause it's air cooled (as much as I dearly love Hogs)

Modern engines probably reply on a whole host of sensors to prevent them damaging themselves anyway. The Porsche has an oil pressure gauge, which I (anally) ...

Arguably rather harsh in terms of oil use, although apparently some of the other Audi engines of this generation can use up to a litre per 1000 miles.

Title.

With three engines, black smoke, and a strong chance of not making it to its destination

Christ, a 996 is less than a year's nursery. I wouldn't mate - self destruct engines, hideously expensive to sort (a new engine, basically). Porsche has long since stopped paying out for these. Sadly, the only safe choice is an old aircooled one (993 or earlier, ...

Yup! That's me!

I take solace from my de-catted Harley. Gotta love the smell of unburnt hydrocarbons and "cooking hot" aircooled engines, right? That evocative aroma.... so reminiscent of mis-spent youth. I'll love it 'til I die.

... I'm not talking about manufacturers moving out of Vietnam sweatshops, I'm talking about high-end, high tech manufacturing such as cars, jet engines and suchlike. We always talk our manufacturing sector down in this country, but did you know that, under this Tory govt. and despite the shadow ...

... usage? Day to day transportation or a fun track day car or something else? In many regards it's a 'lot of car' for £3500 (and those Duratec engines are really good), but it depends what you're planning to do with it.

Yeah that Rover 200 diesel I had was appalling... the Perkins 2.0 was more agricultural than one of Grim's bloody traction engines an absolute boat anchor of a lump in a tinny, shitty, badly sorted can with no ABS even in 1999 made for a nose heavy skiddy shiteheap that didn't stop ...

To celebrate my 1℅ pay rise, I've been typing stuff into insurance quote engines. Here's what I found, only variable is the bike:

ER5 (500cc, 50bhp) fully comp £82
CBR600F (600cc, 85bhp) fully comp £86
GSXR600 (600cc, 93bhp) £246
CBR900RR (929cc, 123bhp) £646

Quite the jump, adding 50℅ more power.

I'd definitely get one with fewer engines next.

... was no issue. Now they written to me twice (the fist letter was unopened as I thought it was just Spam about new car models etc) saying I have 189 engines and that they are working on something and will be in touch soon. Not sure what the fix is or how I'm affected really. I have no issues with ...

Also, engines have fuel filters to get rid of the muck and sediment.

... most of it, anyway.

Man alive, am I gladI wasn't going to the cottage today. M1, closed at J 16 northbound with lots of flashing blue lights. M25 down to one lane with copious police cars and even more fire engines. just after J10 clockwise.

Makes thw 20 minute delay I had on the way back today seem almost non-existant.

Spewing time. Engines dead. Advice please.

I was always taught not to lug engines so I get quite upset if someone's changing up too quickly. I also get really quite agitated if I'm in a car and we're stopped on a slope waiting for the lights to change and the person driving is holding ...

Great place I found he enjoyed climbing all over the Steam Engines in the sheds that were not Thomas branded than anything else.

... can run about. They have Thomas days every now and again so I took him to one. Good day out, aside from the Thomas stuff there are loads of steam engines kids can climb on. Also we had to take 2 trains to get there so double fun for him! Then there is this place https://www.draytonmanor.co.uk/thomas-land ...
