    PMA and cap with LED tail light

    Has anyone done this? I'm concerned that the lower voltage "flickering" at idle may be a problem for LEDS. I've read online that they will work down to 2vdc. Anyone know for sure?

    Valve Lapping Question

    Is it necessary to use a course and fine compound? I just did my first valve with the standard permatex stuff. Got a matte finish on the valve and seat. Also did the dykem check but with a sharpie, and that look good too. Will a courser finish be more suceptible to pitting later on?

    DIY Welder Cart

    Hey fellas, I recently picked up an Eastwood Mig 175 for my upcoming build, so I decided a welder cart would be a nice project to get used to the welders tendencies and traits. Also, I'm a straight up cheap ass! We've got one of those chincy bolt together carts for our little Miller 180 at...
