    Did the thermocouple burn up yet? The 3kg crucible rubs on the thermocouple and leaves graphite behind on the tip. That will eventually burn though. I'd recommend using the 2gk crucible. As far as I'm concerned, vevor furnaces are garbage. I've purchased two of them before breaking down and spending 3 times the money for another furnace that heats up 3 times faster. The vivor also uses WAY MORE POWER then the higher quality furnaces. I run with a tabletop quickmelt furnace now and I can pour copper in 25 minutes from cold. If you're going to stick with the hobby, I'd highly recommend using a higher quality furnace.

      @@mikesproject4704 I love my tabletop quick melt but I still use my vevor from time to time. I wont melt copper because it brings it a bit to close to maxing the machine out but I still use it for my silver pours. I like to make my own silver art. I dont know what temps you tried pouring silver but I bring it up to 1063c. I had the same problem you had with my quick melt but I got confused with the conversion from C to F. And if you still dont plan on using it, you should consider using it as a give a way to grow your channel.

    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

    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.

    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.
