[Pithlet]

7. It looks like something my stepdad would sell

on ebay. He's always selling old parts to stuff. That doesn't look like any floor in my parents house, though.

I have no idea what that is. A hitch of some sort?

12. Pretty sure its a flobbernickit

but if you intend to bid on it, and expect it to work, make sure it comes with the original snuppleglopper attachment.

A flobbernickit is worthless without the snuppleglopper.

13. Part of a steam locomotive?

depending on its size. Maybe the pivot for the pilot wheels?

16. Looks Like the Center Part Rotates

rather than the outside. But that really doesn't look like a drill bit. Probably some intermediate part of a large drill.

21. What this does

When you run an engine, the cylinders will grow little ridges in them from normal wear and tear. When you overhaul said engine, you want to get these ridges out.

To use this, you screw it all the way out and stick it in the cylinder bore. Then you use a wrench to screw it back in. As it's being screwed in, it rotates in the bore and cleans up the walls. Then you use a hone to create a nice crosshatch pattern on the walls, and finally reassemble the engine with a new piston and rings.

Some guys just immediately bore the engine one oversize, but if the wear's not that bad you can get more life out of the block by simply reaming the ridges.

22. Hey, you're smart!.

:thumbsup:

[jmowreader]

25. I've had to use one!

Damn car quit running (about six years ago), no money for new cylinders...I just reamed and honed the jugs, put a new set of rings in it and ran it for the next two years.

24. Smaller reamers are also used on piston pin bushings

I.E the bushing that's in the connecting rod often has to be reamed out to hold the piston pin, which holds the piston on the connecting rod.
