  1. It looks like the end of your crank has heated up to 250 to 300 degrees C in places. There is a ring there. Make sure that the loctite you are using is appropriate. Keep in mind that there are many visable gaps between your flywheel and crank that fastening fluid could flow into, now that the crank face is damaged. There may be thermal effects that act upon excess leaking fluid that could cause uneven pressure between the mating faces and in turn loosen bolts again. Imho if you install the flywheel with oil on the threads, torque it up and it has no runout then you "might" be okay to pull it off, clean it up and fit it with loctite. To ensure minimal leakage in this case, I would pull the flywheel in with a few dry bolts to minimise the gap and then fit sparingly loctited bolts (to reduce leakage into pitting) alternately to removing non sealed bolts. Imho this is still half assing it and I'd prefer mating surfaces to be 100% flush, especially close to threads. If there is a gap it provides room for the bolt to flex. You might get lucky by slapping it together again but I wouldn't recommend it. Good luck mate and hopefully this post helps you out with whatever you decide to do.
  2. Ha I tried shouting at the kids yesterday but it hurt my damn teeth too much. I made do with frowning extra hard lol. I reckon the neighbours think I'm nuts too but they can eat a fat salty D for breakfast.
  3. It looks like nbn wireless is being built near my area and should be available soon. It appears that my link speed will increase from 21 Mbit up and 1.05 Mbit down currently to 25 Mbit up and 5Mbit down. How disappointing.
  4. Ok I'm not going to complain too much but I forgot to take pain killers earlier and now all I can say is ouch. So......ouch my farken jaw. Roll on a few days when it's not sore anymore.
  5. Haha no need to rush back into it. You have enough on your plate atm without dealing with seediness or hangovers.
  6. My wife only took panadol as well. They must cut through some nerves I guess cos it doesn't hurt as much as I would have thought?
  7. The first thing my wife did was cook dinner when she came home. Of course she didn't have to but she said she was bored from staying in hospital for a week. Some of us get the good ones.
  8. Indeed. One of them regularly became inflamed and caused as much pain as getting them pulled. Living the dream ay! I think I'll just stick to my painkillers for a few days. Codeine, alcohol and high blood pressure aint a good mix. Thanks mate. We still have nearly 2 weeks so it should be all good by then.
  9. Holy farken crap that sucked. 4 wisdom teeth out in one hit.
  10. I buy 2 pairs a year. Have done for 20 years. Wore my first nappy in 1980, great time to be born.
  11. I don't know the specific wiring or I'd give you an answer straight up If everything is coming on then it seems that there is a common live wire and everything is switched by ground (or vice versa). Check from the start/power source/relay and find where it is earthing out. This is the simplest way to diagnose the issue but as I said I don't know how it is wired so there may be other things to take into consideration.
  12. Ok furry muff. Imho if you can't drive a multimeter and don't own a screwdriver you shouldn't be trying to fix electrical gremlins on your own. Certainly a plug in solution is easier but not my first port of call. Edit: Something about skinning cats?
  13. If it's just a matter of checking a switch wouldn't you just check with a $10 multimeter?...or your tongue?
  14. Wmmfg, my oldest son has finished his first year of preschool. I went to their little graduation ceremony this afternoon. Despite being the youngest kid there, he has excelled academically although he still gets beat in running races. He has 6 weeks holidays and then it's 5 days a week in reception. I still remember when I was that age lol. I'll make sure this kid (and the rest of them) has a well supported, stable journey through his education so he has the best possible start in life!
  15. Make sure you bring some samples next year!
  16. In all of my thong wearing glory I managed to secure (talk the missus into) a whole bunch of fuel money to go cruising through the hills next weekend. I might even switch to e85 but don't quote me on that. I'm looking forward to getting out the house and giving the car a decent flogging.
  17. My copper numbers are 22, 19, 1 most of the time. It's great as far as copper goes. When the nbn finally gets here I'll be switching.
  18. I just cooked myself a pizza omelet. Eggs, oregano, salt, pepper, bacon, pineapple, mozzarella. Gonna go eat it now and watch netflix.
  19. This was my search parameters.
  20. Holy crap there were some nsfw google results to find this pic. I wasn't sure whether to unzip or turn off my pc for the night. That would be 6:30pm here. Mine go down at 7:00pm.
  21. Boys boys boys, my father's name is William, my middle name is William, my first born son's middle name is William and I'm pretty sure I met a dude called William down the pub once. I'm sure young W Puff is doing just fine.
