Shit!! Who knows the amount of torque needed to properly seat...

[LeftyFingerPop]

a .02555 inch titanium cone into a freshly bored Zilder frame at normal operating temperature?

[Pierre.Suave]

1. Not me, but...

I know how to read the directions...

:P

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. The directions caught fire when I....

foolishly tried to light my cigar with a propane torch. :)

[Pierre.Suave]

16. In that case...

torque it to 30 Ft/Lbs

trust me...

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. Trust me....

That's what that one guy told me when he sold me that....wait....nevermind :blush:

[Pierre.Suave]

31. LOL

yeah but, I am not that guy nor am I selling you anything!

:evilgrin:

[LeftyFingerPop]

36. Jason....

Young man....everyone is sellin' something. Now where are my goddamn bi-focals?

[Pierre.Suave]

41. I was out all evening selling...

no one was buying.


maybe I am not as attractive as I think...

:P

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Did you read the directions?

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. See post #3. n/t

[CreekDog]

4. I'm elitist

I hire people to know that stuff. :hide:

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. They want $100 per word of explanation. n/t

[CreekDog]

21. not in China

:hide:

6. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once

:7

[LeftyFingerPop]

11. I got drunk on a gallon of MD 50/50 once and slept on a bench...

in the parking lot of a Holiday Inn Express once. :)

[limit18]

43. That Mad Dog

is some BAD stuff ain't it!

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. MrG would have known how to answer that.

Whenever I even see the word titanium it kills me.

[LeftyFingerPop]

12. What did he do for a living MrsG? n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. He was a CNC programmer/engineer.

It appears it doesn't get any easier.

[LeftyFingerPop]

20. Thank you....

Don't you know anything? :dunce:

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. That answer does not even fall on the....

inflection curve for possible results, so it is mathematically impossible. You can't fool me. :)

[jobycom]

10. No sex threads.

Yeah, I know, so sue me.

[LeftyFingerPop]

15. Locking.

poster typed "sex". No sex threads.

[jobycom]

29. You don't even know the proper torgue to lock a thread.

[LeftyFingerPop]

32. ....

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[jobycom]

38. Oh please

[LeftyFingerPop]

39. Pretty please?

[jobycom]

40. It ain't working

[Ptah]

18. Locking. DU members are not a qualified source of engineering advice.

Please consult your nearest Professional Engineer.

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. Ptah, you cannot lock a thread that has been previously locked by a pretend mod.

That is against the rules. Locking.

[Ptah]

24. Bring it.

[LeftyFingerPop]

28. Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to admit...

I am not a real mod and cannot lock threads. :blush:

They took away my mod duties back in the day of the Tandy computer.

[HamstersFromHell]

25. Are you using the easy blue threadlocker...

or the good red stuff you gotta heat with a torch to budge?

[LeftyFingerPop]

30. I bought the cheap stuff that they had in the....

clearance bin near the Home Depot entrance. Whenever I work with Natural Gas, I always buy the cheap stuff. I won't let them rip me off.

[HamstersFromHell]

23. You'll know the answer once it's seated...

so take careful measurements! :)

[LeftyFingerPop]

26. "You'll know the answer once it's seated"....

hmmmmmm.....

"You'll know the answer once it's seated".

Locking!!

No sex threads.

[Ptah]

27. No double-locking, pretender.

:thumbsdown:

[Frank Cannon]

33. Look it up.

I don't know a single experienced engineer who actually does calculations like this. They just look it up in one of numerous huge books.

[LeftyFingerPop]

34. 'Looking things up" sounds hauntingly familiar to...

"Reading the directions". I'm a MAN. I don't read no stinkin' directions.

[HamstersFromHell]

35. Or use the German method...

torque it till it's "Gutentite"

[LeftyFingerPop]

37. Is that similar to a ....

"Guzunder"?

[Tyler Durden]

44. Second cousin to a ....

"Gozinta."

[Orsino]

42. I don't know -- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAggggggghhhhhh. n/t

[av8rdave]

45. Used to be somewhere around .79 inch-oz, but...

that was before they were using titanium.

Wish I could help...

[asteroid2003QQ47]
