Meh, it's fine

Probably clear up once you get it to temperature.

Drive that 10 or 15 minutes, get your engine up to 300°, and that oil will clarify no problem

Oh, well shit, customer only got it to 285° so that has to be the problem!

Looks like oil in the coolant over-flow tank.

Edited to add: I have never owned a Jeep, so what do I know?

Luckily this isn't just a Jeep thing

Naw...just pour some listerine in. It'll be fine.

Heading to CVS now lmao

I'm thinking this Jeep has a blown head gasket

Look’s like Nathan’s Schmoo. Highly recommended for knife sharpening. Engine lubrication….not so much !

Random thought: I need a half inch nipple

I'm running some airline and I'm just about good to go but I need a half inch NTP pipe nipple

And it occurs to me that, most of y'all have not heard the phrase "I need a half inch nipple" today. So. You're welcome.

How do I not have a half inch nipple?

Why do I have a 3/4-in nipple? Several in fact.

Where did these come from?

Are these my half inch nipples? Did they grow?

According to the internet, nipples can grow.

It also said something about blowing on them, but it's not working.

The temp must be just right.....

If too cold the half inch nipple can quickly become the 3/4 nipple (also known in the industry as the cigar nip)

I say find an aroused 3/4 nipple and give it the delta heat treat protocol... that should provide you the perfect nip for your needs......

I got one in my van Nate. But I’m kind of far away…

Guys, sharpening novice here...need help...

if I buy a convex blade but sharpen it on my work sharp precision adjust, will that simply turn it into a V edge or will it just ruin the knife's edge altogether?

It will turn it into a V. If it ruins it or not depends on you. Are you capable with the work sharp otherwise (able to raise a burr and remove it, progressively through the stones, etc.?). There are guys who will go back and forth between edge types on one knife, just to try it out, no problem. Guys put edges on CRK, for example, all the time. If you can use a Sharpie, and are competent with a guided system (able to fix mistakes because you know what you did) go for it.

I feel like I am somewhat competent but not completely. I can get a decent edge on my knives but could I completely fix a screwed edge...I am not sure. I kind of want to try a fallkniven f1. I dont mind the durability of anV edge so maybe i'll go for it. Thanks Tony

You should do it. For me, my enjoyment of the knife hobby took a whole new direction when I got into sharpening. I really enjoyed becoming proficient, 100% self taught to where I could hand sharpen to a hair-whittling edge. So what if an edge or two was trashed along the way. Now I have the confidence to sharpen any knife (CRK, CPK, Shirogorov). I enjoyed that learning process. The knife being ruined was part of the price of admission.

Unless you burn the edge, you pretty much can't ruin a knife sharpening it. You can screw up the aesthetics and make a real mess of the edge, but I've never seen a knife that couldn't be brought back into service, and I've seen some shit.

a few years ago we had to explain to HR, and IT why we felt the need to look up 3" black nipples on google at work.

*I think they were more embarrassed than we were, with the conversation.
