Sure. I got Hot Cams: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Hot-Cams-7-48mm-Valve-Shim-2-40mm-5PK748240-/142406061237 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Hot-Cams-7-48mm-Valve-Shim-2-35mm-5PK748235-/142406062138

Makes me wonder what they charge for the full job. But yeah, that was definitely the part-only price.

I called. They want $9.75 per shim. I was hoping for a reasonable price.

I'm doing my valve adjustment and need the following 7.48mm shims: 4x 2.40mm 2x 2.35mm Looking online it seems my best option is an entire kit, or ordering from the US (and paying 3x the cost of the shims for shipping). *update*: eBay to the rescue. Why is so damn hard/expensive to buy...

To be quite honest the ESA is pretty corrupt. The retired electrician I speak of was the lead for Pacific Mall way back when. He did the work in my old house and called the ESA agent to come and slap a sticker on the box...and the agent did just that. Didn't check a single outlet. Same goes...

@nobbie48 thanks for the info! I absolutely will not do more than .125"....for now. I would only be welding light-duty stuff, but I also don't like buying things twice. If it means I have to wait a year to get a more expensive (capable) tool, I will. I'm almost positive I have 100A service...

Thanks, that makes good sense to me. So really my best option would be have a subpanel installed in the garage to control when/how I want a 50A or 30A installed. Seems like a much better solution than running the plugs directly to the main panel inside the house. This gives me a lot to think...

Really no need for that. I'm here asking so it doesn't end up on YouTube. :cautious:

What thickness and type of metal did you try it on? I'm not looking to weld anything that would need super strength or anything. The idea of buying a welder came to mind when I saw a fork spring compressor listed for almost $300 on F9 (racetech?). The design is so basic I figured I could rig...

I'm reading about this an a little confused. If the welder supposed to be rated for 50A in order to be safely used on 50A rated wire and breaker? I'm reading that a welder rated for, say 30A, could potentially caused problems (fire) if run on a 50A breaker because the breaker won't trip when...

I'm thinking about getting a 120v welder to learn on. I've done some research and it seems a MIG welder is probably my best best, since I have no experience whatsoever. I would be using for hobbies and possibly minor repairs and small projects. I'm looking at the ones that run off a standard...

Yes, if it were 4-6 months ago when I really needed help with cement boards, bathrooms, tiles, kitchen cabinets, doors, etc. The hard stuff is done. Just painting now. I ******* hate doing doors (framing, hanging, etc)

We recently bought a 1M semi detached house in leslieville. We put about $100k into a complete gut/reno job. $50k of the $100k was paid to trades people for heavy work, and the other $50k was DIY by me. Hire your own trades people and save a ton of money. Learn the trades and save all your...

Wonder how they plan to ticket e-bikes/assisted bikes doing 50/60 in 30/40 zones.

Overpriced, but... https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/city-of-toronto/2016-triumph-street-triple-rx-for-sale/1502202486 Got my 2015 Rx at 1,200km for $9,500 in 2017. Good power, reliable, relatively comfortable, and it sounds really, really good. Someone mentioned the lack of windscreen, and...

Thanks for the explanation. I ended up switching insurance companies and saving a little over $1,100/year. I'm switching from All state to Desjardins. The rates with Desjardin were really good - worth me switching even though my policy recently renewed. I'm now paying $65/mth (from $120) for...

I have no idea what Family Protection Coverage is... I'm going to call the representative I'm dealing with shortly, but just want to gather some input/opinions before I do. I'm planning to move both my car and bike. Bike is a '15 Street Triple Rx, which gets ridden about 3,000 - 4,000 km a...

My insurance policy renewed in June, but I've decided the savings from switching may be worth cancelling with my current provider. I don't quite understand all the bells and whistles that come with various insurance packages, so I'm wondering if there is any opportunity to save some money but...

Just got my renewal notice in the mail (allstate). I have clean record. House: up $45 or so /mth. Now paying just under $120/mth for a 780sqft bungalow. no claims. ever. Car: this also makes no sense to me. Was paying $1,650 for the VW when I had two cars insured...then it increased when I...

sigh...should have read the rules
