Stupid Califunkian headers

If you grind 'em off you might have the Californian EPA on your case.

They can go fuck themselves.......

They did, that's why the whole state is broke  

Always good to go off at a tangent...

'Fiscal Cliff' is a term that is being bandied about by mainstream media on an almost daily basis lately.

I'm sure there are many who are not able to absorb the sheer enormity of the problems facing the world when media and governments talk in terms of Trillions of $$$$. After all what on earth does a Billion dollars look like let alone a trillion..

So here is an analogy of US revenue and debt changed into 'household figures' that we can hopefully all understand....

* U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

Now lets remove 8 zeros and pretend it?s a household budget:

* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts so far: $38.50

Got It ???


Another word de jour is Debt Ceiling:

Here?s a nice 'simplistic way'  of looking at it......

Let?s say, You come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighbourhood and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings or remove the sh^t?

Wow that is like the whole country's population is made up of my last tenants!

Back to the original question.  I have the same pipes.  Since the half rings are such a nuisance, I ground down the sensor pipe a little and ground a small groove in the new clamps just enough to slide the clamps on.  This saved a lot of fiddling.

Indeed, with the half rings gone, it's way easier to clean the oil filter now, not so much swearing
