Nice job. I'm looking at a pond that was a pool and is too much for my builtin sand filter system. Definitely going to give this a try
good luck keep us updated
I think you need to cure it first with CO2 before applying heat.
but how does it tasted compared to drinking from plastic bottles/aluminium/ceramic?
just like out of the bottle. but warms up quick as you hold it heat transfer and that changes the taste
Here's a video idea: Make a silver shot glass of Doc Holiday from Tombstone. A classic film will always get the fans to quickly tune into the video especially if you get the right thumbnail & video title (like Doc Holiday, Tombstone, Val Kilmer). Maybe you'll even get a fan to order that product afterwards. Also great work 👍
thanks for watching
Just an idea, during the editing, you could add some voice over about why you do certain things in between segments
you are correct i need to do that.. thank you

A jewelers lathe would be handy to replace all that hand filing. Amazon has one for less than $200.00 US Universal Mini Metal Lathe Machine Motorized Metalworking DIY Tool Benchtop Woodworking for Hobby Science Education Modelmaking W10003M AC100V~240V (24W Lathe). Subscribed - good luck Mike
i have been looking at lathes but bigger ones and the price has been stopping me. that looks like a great option... thank you
Very interesting. Nice work. Don’t know anything about silver casting
it has been a learning experience for me
Just found your channel and subscribed. Very nice work
So the cold start rattle from the VTC actuator does not cause any long term damage to the engine, it just annoying! Thank you for a great video!
will stretch timing chain over time
@@mikesproject4704 oh no… not so harmless after all😵💫
Best to replace with Emerson Sure Switch. Amazon has good prices.
great tip.. tahnks
I’m building something like this out of spare parts. What I can’t figure out, can you backwash it? How?
great idea. i had not thought of that.. just looked at mine . turn the valve to waste and remove the filter and hook up to the waste outlet. . a lot of work. it isnt hard to clean the filter but would work
@@mikesproject4704 oh, it’s a cartridge filter, right? I had it in my mind that it was a sand filter. Guess it’s easy enough to take the cartridge out and hose it off.
@@gregthorne4292 yes cartridge filter. works well for cleaning the pool. after winter green have to clean 4 times little bit of a pain
It might feel heavy but its still light compared to gas .
Thank you for uploading this video. I started to build one . Got a pump and a used cartridge filter. Only problem I'm having is the exit pipe. Went to local pool store and they couldn't figure how you make it bend when you cleaning and straight up when finished. Any advice on the fittings. Thanks
what brand
@@mikesproject4704 it is a VIVOHOME 2.0 HP 6800 GPH Powerful Self Primming Dual Voltage in/Above Ground Swimming Pool Pump with Strainer Basket UL Certified. I got of amazon
The screen on mine isn't displaying anything. I'm guessing it's a wire problem but i am also not knowledgeable on these machines. Any suggestions?
either the ribbon cable is loose or power wire is off. i have stopped using mine as the top of the crucible isnt hot enough causes problems with casting
@mikesproject4704 thanks to your video I figured out how to take it apart. Finding that info wasn't easy. The LCD wasn't plugged in. Simple fix. And yea I noticed that today using it. Once I poured some stuck to the upper part of the crucible
@@lilotc4175 they have made a new one with elements going higher up the crucible. i will try that one soon
Hello friend great work by the way . It turns out that calcium oxide converts back to calcium hydroxide , a deliquescent substance . I did not know this happens . When it converts from oxide to hydroxide it expands 75% . So it turns out its only good for a couple uses or maybe only a 1 time use heat shield . I have since bin suing zirconium oxide instead of lime . It makes a high emissivity paint that increases furnace performance . You can also make high temp glue with it
yes watched the video interesting comment by Forsythemein
What is the micron rating of the filter?
i dont know it is just a 70sqft of filter media .. haywood stanard.
Mike, The Honda service document shows torquing the cam and actuator out of the vehicle on the work bench. Given that, I don't see how the key pin on the end of the cam is out of the picture re: torque. I have not been able to get anyone to explain why it needs to be unlocked when torqued (especially if it is torqued out of the vehicle.
if you torque it with the pin in you are putting torque on the pin and will/ could miss shape the edge of the hole, or bend the pine.. unlocked the internal star evenly puts torque on it's respected stop.
Did you try sand lime and waterglass? I am at the start of my build and really want to get it right first go.
no i didnt that could be work i will try
Push the gas pedal down to the floor. This will shut off the fuel injectors and prevent your engine from starting. This will allow you to crank over your engine long enough to build up the oil pressure without your engine starting. Release your gas pedal after around 5-10 seconds or so (dependant on outside temp and engine condition) and your engine will start without the rattle or significantly less rattle because the oil pressure was given enough time has reached your VTC actuator.
5:26 That was one of the cleanest pours I've ever seen. Great video.
thanks for watching
"i was drinking beer while i was doing this" i had to laugh because i know this kind of unprecision 😀
thanks for watching
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video and explanation!!! I've been going crazy trying to determine the source of that rattle and have heard all of the speculation surrounding it. From: 1. It's the timing chain rattling against the guide, about to jump a tooth because it's stretched. 2. The oil level is low, or the type of oil is insufficient. (Although I do recognize that oil plays a part). 3. It's the chain tensioner failing. I have had Honda mechanics swear that it was the timing chain making this noise, but I was never convinced of it. Now I have what I was searching for, thanks again.
happy it helped
Helpful video - Thanks! I'm sure you have found a lot of new info since you posted, like oxy-acetelene flame is about 6000 deg F (no firebrick will handle that), but that what ilearning is all about, right?
correct.. the lime water glass might work for low temp applications. but not good for higher temp stuff.. the hard or heavy fire brick is the best
@@mikesproject4704Thanks - I'm doing a couple of experiments now (thanks for the inspiration), using a combo of Type S mortar (which has lime and portland cement) and Aluminum Oxide and Perlite (because I need it to be rigid but somewhat shapeable and to have very good insulating properties), and the with/without the sodium silicate -- to see what happens. We shall see what happens - I will test it up to 3000°F or so.
@@AerialLensVideo the lime mixture i made would get soft when hot and would run. with other elements might make a great bonding agent. i used a mortar like substance called satinite i think that would make a good bonding agent and filling gaps... sounds interesting what you are experimenting with let me know how it works out.
I simply need to learn how to weld now...
Please what size are those 5 point torx?

There are many different access bits required to open these gears. Spring-Start has new vtc actuator locking pin springs with the correct access bit included in each kit.
I like what u did buy when the folter fills up with water, can ypur cart support it ?
yes cart is rated at 400KG or 800lb. the filter holds about 14 liters or 4 gallons

thanks for watching!
5g tower right next to your brain when you sleep.😮
i ran a spectrum analyzer the signal is weak as i am below the donut neighbors 3 houses down will be in the wave form
@@mikesproject4704 VIVA LA LIBERTAD, CARAJO!
Thank you man. So what I have gathered is that it is annoying, but it doesn't cause any significant damage to the engine. The problem is, however, that the check engine light comes on in newer cars, which necessitates the changing of this ~$150 part (got a quote for over $700 at the honda dealership)
when the timing chain starts to get loose the chattering could cause it to jump a tooth. it will accelerate the stretch in the timing chain. how long will that happen. i dont know but i have heard people drive like that for years.. there is a company in Canada selling a spring replacement
@@mikesproject4704 thank you for responding. I definitely wouldn't take that risk. I ordered a new vvt sprocket for $150. I'm just going to put it in and see if I can get another 60k miles out of it.
very good and informative video , thank you very much. Now the question is Why Honda is allowing this to happen in almost every model
lasts long enough to be out of warranty
Use a barbed 1 1/2 pvc fitting on the front of the pump for easier prime with no duck tape
i will. thank you
The VTC controls the Intake Cam actuator angle.. whiles the Vtec Solenoid controls the engagement of the 3rd Cam lobes.. wanted to point that out its 2 different functions.
Hey uncle congrats on 300 subs i have 255 im catcging up
yes i noticed..very good
How is it working out for you, just purchased one
i am happy with it. water has good taste.
thats really cool. (the sodium silicate and sand) is it strong enough to build a cup out of to drink from or make a bowl?? or is it too water sensitive to hold water.
it is hard as sand stone will crumb when rubbed hard
thanks for the vids they are really cool. u r excellent man.
thanks for watching
I think that was the bottom just being a bit thin, or put it slightly higher temperature the mould as you pour it in, cause u could see it cracking a bit when u poured it in.
thanks for your comment
Bravo! Well done! Short and full of answers to questions we all had. Thank you.
thanks for watching
I think there was no vent for gases to escape.
yes correct
I got the same one does the same things. It’s crazy I couldn’t find any videos for my issue. Thank you for the help. Imma gonna try this asap 👍👍👍👍
i put in a bigger fuse holder and fuse AGC size and used 12 gauge wire.
Nice works the FOOT Pounds Please to tight?
torque all 7/16 inch hardware to 50 ft-lbs and all 10mm hardware to 48 ft-lbs.
We have a used 2012 Accord SE, exhibits a quick rattle(<5secs) from cold start. If we do religious oil changes with good quality oil, what would be the consequence if nothing is done and no CEL yet? Thx
the rattle is the actuator moving back and forth. you are putting strain and no strain on your timing chain. the rattle has come back on my Honda . i have bought a spring from a Canadian company and will try that soon will do a video. i think the VTC i bought on ebuy wasnt Honda part but a knock off made to look like one
@@mikesproject4704 if rattle has come back then the gear is not fixing the problem? Part of me tells me to leave it alone and see what happens.
was good for 3 winters. i bought VTC on ebuy and think might not be Genuine Honda. i still think you will shorten chain life how fast i dont know@@maverickperson5443
alot of these videos NONE show how to assemble the floor... hmm
And the dealers do not sell you the spring but the entire gear at exuberant price!
Just replaced the spring on my 2014 Crv. Your explanation is awesome, I knew it's the weak spring but didnt know what it is doing.
thanks for watching
Where did you get the spring? did you just remove the valve cover and the 4 bolts on the vtc to replace the spring and is there additional info. I'm planning on changing the spring on my crv 2012
Too much talk not enough information. So, question still remains How do you wire a T104 timer???
sorry first video. i miss spoke the phase rotation doesn't matter as there is a capacitor it is really single phase with two hots.. the timer runs off the two hots to connect L1 L2 outputs the same
Do you have the complete list of material on a link ?
posted to the description
AWESOME VIDEO!! This knowledge will save me hundreds of dollars. Thank you!!💪
Does anyone know what lbs./kg. spring it is ?
