Reddit’s Just Rolled into the Shop is a veritable cornucopia of the many wonders and oddities of shop lyfe. You never know what’s gonna roll in. Here’s what caught my eye this week.

...Well, here we are. The new one is also defective. The ring gear is SUPER crooked on the flex plate. It’s a little hard to tell, but the ring gear sits further out on one side by about 1/2 an inch.

Oh it’s a thing. You will see in the near future where all the high efficiency engines will require it. I know that you can use it in all the Prius variants already. It’s basically the lowest viscosity you can go without over consumption.

Here’s my person entry (I don’t imgur, or Reddit) I took out my old radiator today, this is what my Fan switch sensor looked like. That’s what 27 years of sting in a copper basin will do.

Coolant has always liked fine. But I’ve only had the car a few years.

I remember that episode. As awful as it looks, I bet it’s ten times worse in real life.
