Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

So that howl noise I talked about yesterday... Heard it again today. 

 

Vacuum leak perhaps? 

 

It it goes away when warmed up a bit so I'm wondering if a hose is kinda old or something somewhere and gets hard and doesn't seal when the temp drops.

 

i say I think it's that because I remember hearing the same sound when I took the oil cap off while it was running one day (which was a bad idea because of the cam lobe underneath but that's another topic lol)

 

Also as you can tell I missed a spot in that corner while wiping off the wax lol

Shove a smoke machine in the intake, and youll see smoke coming out of the leak. 

 

Sounds mind of like it. Could be a PCV leak too

Yeah because I have a smoke machine just lying around...

NV Auto's shop is in Hamilton, Ontario, at the bottom of the Golden Horseshoe (GTHA). An hour or so north west of Buffalo.

god damn it, i was on my bike, and since it was still slick from last night's downpour, with leaves everywhere, i took a turn a bit too fast and ended up sliding and crashing off my bike. i ended up tearing the palms of my hands, and it was basically a bitch since it hurt so much and it was bleeding like crazy. it just HAD to happen the weekend before finals.

If there's anything I've learned about finals week; whatever can go wrong will go wrong before or during it.

 

last semester I got in a car accident on finals week, this semester it was pouring down and my miata's window seal was leaking onto my arm lol

Interesting how big the Meijer brand is, yeah I always thought it was just a Indiana / Michigan thing, same with Kroger for the longest time
