This is interesting:

Still interesting.

My theory is an unfinished ball valve trunion made from Stellite, fired from an improvised home-built cannon decades ago into a tree, where the tree then grew over it, and eventually the lumber was split.

Think about it. If there's a nearby valve factory, and I had access to these blanks of badass metal roughly in the shape of a ball, I'd totally steal some and shoot them at stuff.

Also, Stellite fits the material properties perfectly. It's a superhard, non-magnetic, non-ferrous, Cobalt alloy that doesn't do anything with a grinder test and has excellent properties as far as absorbing heat.

The funny thing is, that theory has now been picked up a few times throughout the thread...

Just woke up to stomach pains and bad gas.

I have a feeling a monster dump will follow shortly.

Hateeee mornings and school. Why do they both have to be at the same time?! I just want to weld crap to the Jeep and make it cooler so I can never wheel.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

anybody on here from the foxborough area? dad bought some tires tonight from a mid 20's kid with a lifted xj. Just curious if he was a forums lingerer

:dunno: This is my town!!! I cant really think of any other lifted/modded XJ's here other then mine. Well, there is that guy Steve, but thats a different story. There is a red 4dr near the high school that might have a BB on like 30/31's.

was it a red XJ and a red headed bull of a kid?

That retard jokemon and the rest of the retards in that thread made my head hurt.

I also agree on the "if an angle grinder didn't do shit to it, how the hell did a 60 year old sawmill blade cut right through it and leave a centering punch mark?" Comment. And I want whatever made that centering punch mark, too.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

So am I dumb for not running a ZDDP additive? Am I missing something?
Heck, I ran three plus year old (changed before the build) oil (this) up until the last run.

I don't get that whole myth. I understand you want it during break-in...but even then I'm not sure as I don't think my uncle and father used anything other than straight weight on the 440.

We never used anything other than on-sale oil at autozone either. Even fram filters.

Yeah, if it weren't for him, that thread would be rockin'.

Someone did make a good point that maybe it wasn't the flat part that was exposed...if the blade contacted the outer edge of the sphere, I could see how it'd maybe flex around it. Still a one in a million shot though. If a sawmill blade tried to go straight through that thing it'd probably ruin some millworker's day.

I love weird stuff like this, where you come across something uncommon with a strange chain of events behind it. Years ago I made a few unsuccessful attempts at keeping a 'blog' going, and here's one entry that I liked:

You might be one of the few people on earth who'd appreciate what I was trying to get at there.

Yep. He'll take 'em for $50.

That means we can now get the ball rolling on putting a 60 under that truck. Just what we needed...another fawkin project.

I ran "break in oil" during break in. After that it was one run with Mobil 1, then the other two changes after that have been that Marine & Diesel Amsoil oil. The motor only has ~11K on it. Since it'll only get changed once a year now, I think I can spring for the $45 change.

Even fram filters.

[large debate] I wouldn't ever do this. [/large debate]

It would probably work ok until you got to about half the operating temp then the sugars would start to caramelize and you'd be done.

might be a bit early for this, but whatever.

A bit early? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Man you guys are jumping the gun on this and the "To-Do Lists".
