Install question
A week ago Hughes did an install changing me over from DishNet. The modem and the antenna system were change over but the three year old in-ground cabling was not replaced. Should it have been? What are the chances that i will see system problems due to the cabling.

You mean you don't just "twist'em down" until the lock washer is flat ?
That method really raises havoc with the aim however.
Get the thing peaked real nice and the lose it when doing the "final tighten" :)
- AmandaModeratorI am sure Alan's guys are good about this, but he also seems to run a tight ship :)
Maybe they are intuitive and can sense the amount needed with their feelers??

Hi Amanda ! we thought you guys were all gone and off drinking green Beer
- AmandaModeratorHey Gwalk,
No, but I am pinching everyone who is not wearing green. Beware! - C0RR0SIVEAssociate ProfessorIf I could sense how tight bolts are when I am rebuilding an engine, I would be in heaven, and very rich. No more buying torque wrenches and angel gauges when they fail. Of course we are talking of two entirely different amounts of pressure.

I seem to remember when working in the dyno buildup room at Sealed Power that GM would get a little PO'd if you didn't use a torque wrench on their experimental engines.
(it was a real shame to have to take a sledge hammer to those new beauties at the end of an experimental run)
- C0RR0SIVEAssociate ProfessorGwalk900 you worked at SP???? I tend to always buy SP bearings for my rebuild projects, always had decent results from them.
