Hmm, mayonnaised, never heard it called that but the water to oil inter-cooler in my Porsche blew an o-ring, the oil and water were literally like mayo but the engine survived quite well. It's often found (less so with modern oils and engine design) in the cooler parts of the motor, such as rocker covers. In an engine that is seriously underused, for example making sub-one-mile journeys for a year or so, it can start to fill (float on the top of the oil) the sump. If said engine is subsequently used normally the emulsion of oil and water can be drawn into the lubrication system where its very poor lubrication qualities can be brought to the front with the expected results, especially as, in that scenario, the water can be boiled off to some extent. In your case, I suspect that the higher oil than water pressure kept the majority of the water out of the oil. Small amounts of water in the sump, running around at the bottom of the pan with some slight emulsifying, is normal in even heavily used motors - I have never known that be removed by the apochryphal Italian tune-up. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The sand was a little burnt out, maybe I should have used the RAW files instead of just being lazy and resorting to the in-camera produced jpgs as my source files ;-) The next one down is also really good. I can't decide if the lens flare detracts or adds character to the shot. :) I don't mind it so much, I just wish the loss of contrast wasn't so great, I guess I could mask it with a gradient and then apply USM with a very large radius to restore some contrast? The third one down isn't anything special and the blown-out highlights in the clouds are really obvious. It's quite impressive at full res, and again the source files are only jpeg but in my defence the day was particularly bring and if I had held the exposure to maintain the detail in the clouds I would have lost a lot of detail at ground level. Unfortunately it was grabbed quite quickly during a site visit and I couldn't even think of shooting HDR due to time and equipment constraints.

Re: Pentax Optio I-10 sure looks cute
Pentax hasn't really come out that good in comparison tests when it comes to their recent PS models, at least not in the tests I've read, and my own personal experience with the 750Z, which is also a model that sold somewhat on it's looks, was not too impressive. On the W80 (a model I was curious about) the dpreview reads, in part: With the W80 Pentax has managed to improve performance in some areas while losing speed in others, resulting in a middle-of-the-pack overall result. It was one of the slowest focusing cameras in this group, taking 1.3 seconds to achieve focus lock (only the Olympus Tough 6000 was slower). What do you get when you take a small sensor set behind a wide-range zoom lens and increase the resolution? The answer in this case appears to be that you take a camera that produced quite good image quality and turn it into one of the worst in this group test. With the increase in resolution has come increased noise levels, the overall results from the W80 were not as successful as the W60. There are ISO 3200 and 6400 settings, but with the increase in high ISO noise they are even less useful than on the W60. The W80 performed much like the W60 in the water where it was not the best but certainly not the worst performer in terms of image quality, with the sometimes clunky menu system proving to be an obstacle to efficient picture taking. Pentax wouldn't be my first choice for a PS, unless the given model stood above it's peers. Tom C. On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 7:31 PM, P. J.

Bored, I picked up a Ricoh KR-10M with a modest Rikonen zoom (both long since stolen). Landing on the weekend, I went for a drive down PCH to adjust my body clock, with a plan to visit the Getty museum.

Not understanding the honourable history of street photography, I begged her to let me take a photo, which she did, to my gratitude.

The emulsified water in the bottom of the pan isn't substantially reduced at high temperature, but condensation that forms inside the engine when it's shut down will evaporate if the engine comes up to full operating temperature and remains there for a while. Repeated short trips that never get the temperature up will cause more water to accumulate. I've seen huge amounts of oil pan water accumulation in vehicles that were operated without a thermostat in the cooling system.

They shouldn't overwrite them if that's what you're afraid of. The
behavior best as I can figure out is that the camera will number the
next image in a folder with either the number after the number or it's
last exposure, or if there's a higher numbered file on it;s card the
number after that. Sort of mindless but it doesn't clobber an existing
file. If you're counter is about to turn over , the camera will
create a new folder, and put 0001 in there and record in that folder
from there on...

Once you reach a certain point in power output, you simply can't remove heat effectively enough with air. The more complex and more powerful engines become, the greater the advantages of liquid cooling. Eventually the engineers at Porsche were faced with a decision: Go to liquid cooling or get left behind by the competition. You can take the latter path and sell on the basis of styling/tradition/mystique for a while, but when the performance gap gets too big you run out of options. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Reminds me when i had my first bout of trouble with my then new D2H.
The AF board was/is prone to crapping out leaving the camera useless.
A number of Nikon boards were talking about the problem.
I drove the camera to Nikon here in Toronto. I had to as no one would
call me back, sound familiar.???
I mentioned this stuff to the assistant manager of the service
department and he told me this is very rare and lies spread on the
Internet.
About 2 weeks later a recall on Nikons web site for the D2H and this
exact problem.
Internet hysteria, i think now.

I tend to believe you are both right - although I hate to accept it as much as the water pumper 911. to this day they still come to me as great performance cars but I cant seem to accept them as Porsches - love change but not when it comes to perceived legends. But I am happy for anyone fortunate enough to have the means to own one.

Didn't the EU enact exhaust emissions standards even stricter than the US when they finally got around to it? Emissions laws were certainly part of it, but probably could have been met simply with computerized fuel injection and ignition if it were not for the ever-increasing expectations for power per cubic centimeter of engine displacement: This inevitably leads to more heat to dissipate for any given engine size.
