I wouldn't be a good judge on the "hardcoreness" of music when it comes to metal. I can tell you what I like, though. Judas Priest is one of my favorite metal bands ever. I like Alice in Chains, too, as well as a tiny bit of Slipknot. I’m not sure. I wouldn’t be a good judge on the “hardcoreness” of music when it comes to metal.

]]> Comment on need engine diagram and schematics for 97 ford explorer esp. covering timing chain how to set correctly please? by MUSTANG_MAN http://chaintools.com/blog/need-engine-diagram-and-schematics-for-97-ford-explorer-esp-covering-timing-chain-how-to-set-correctly-please/comment-page-1/#comment-2422 MUSTANG_MAN Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:09:17 +0000 http://chaintools.com/blog/need-engine-diagram-and-schematics-for-97-ford-explorer-esp-covering-timing-chain-how-to-set-correctly-please/#comment-2422 This may help dealing with 4.0 timing chains is not a pleasurable experience, There are no timing marks on the cam pulley or cam, you need the special service tools from a ford dealership. One is a camshaft aligner, one is a pulley aligner, and one is a pulley bolt wrench that reaches through the holder. also, be sure to time both camshafts if one has been disturbed, or you'll have a lack of power at high rpm and a ticking sound at all speeds due to uneven cam timing. trust me on this one, the extra work the first time is worth not having to do it again. You will need check the cams if your tensioner and guides are broken, and you may or may not have to retime them, but even being slightly out of time can cause serious drivability problems. This may help

]]> Comment on what do i need to paint my bmx? by West Coast Flatlander http://chaintools.com/blog/what-do-i-need-to-paint-my-bmx/comment-page-1/#comment-2873 West Coast Flatlander Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:44:20 +0000 http://chaintools.com/blog/what-do-i-need-to-paint-my-bmx/#comment-2873 Doing it yourself requires a lot of preperation work. Sanding back the original paint, priming it, doing a few coats of paint, sanding each coat lightly. You would be bestoff taking all the parts to a local powdercoater and getting them to do it. It shouldnt cost you any more than US$70, I'd say, and all the hard work is done for you. I had mine painted at my dads panel shop. Sprocket, cranks, rims, stem, hubs, all done in yellow back end, black front end. Looks awesome..!! Doing it yourself requires a lot of preperation work.

]]> Comment on What tools do I need for a single speed bike back wheel? by I http://chaintools.com/blog/what-tools-do-i-need-for-a-single-speed-bike-back-wheel/comment-page-1/#comment-2268 I Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:30:34 +0000 http://chaintools.com/blog/what-tools-do-i-need-for-a-single-speed-bike-back-wheel/#comment-2268 That's a converted singlespeed, then. It has a cassette hub, with spacers and a single cog on the back. Were you the one who converted the bike in the first place? Anyways, you'll need a lockring remover, crescent wrench, 10 mm Allen, and some type of chainwhip to hold the cog still. 1. With the wheel off the bike, remove the quick-release skewer. Take your lockring remover, and insert it into the center of the lockring so that the splines on each line up with each other. 2. Using the chainwhip to hold the cog still, take the wrench and turn it counterclockwise, until the lockring unthreads from the interior of the hub body. Take all the spacers and cog off, but keep them in order. 3. Remove the axle from the hub body. Do this while the wheel is over some sort of pan; some bearings will likely fall out. Use something to get all the rest of the bearings out; there should be 18 total. 4. You can now access the drive-side flanges. That’s a converted singlespeed, then.
