ESE's works engine tuner

[Flettner]

I do some manual machining for my projects and I am wondering how were the outer radiuses on engine mounts made on this Jamathi engine?
I have some ideas, but want to know how it was made back in a day?

Cast them.

Neels still has no access to this forum - has anything happened yet ?

I'm not on here much but am trying to get an answer on this issue.

Go all Bert Munro and use a file.
note these conrods

later ones were caterpillar axels heated up power hammered into a fillet holes machined and roughed out but then finished with handtools
i think he could knock out one in a weekend.
Early ones were i think from ford truck axles.

I've spoken directly with the site admin and there is nothing at our end that appears to be the cause of the issue. He will possibly need to have his IP changed, the suggestion was to reset his router.

Its really wierd.

I assume its an IP Ban (I have the same issue and have had it for over 6 months, currently posting using TOR), but I decided to do some poking around.

I have not been able to access Kiwibiker from my HOME INTERNET for like 6 months.

If I use ANY OTHER IP address, I can gain access.

I can gain access using a SIM card 4g wifi modem and I can cain access using TOR. When using TOR I share an IP address with anyone else using TOR who is also "exiting" the TOR network back into the public routing table at the same TOR exit node that I am using. The TOR exit nodes change all the time, and I have never failed to have access for the last 6 months using TOR. Sometimes its rather slow.... but, such is life.

If I it on my home internet and PING kiwibiker.co.nz I get an IP address back from the DNS loockup on the domain, so I am getting a domain name hit for kiwibiker.co.nz from the DNS servers.

kiwibiker.co.nz IP address that I am seeing right now from the DNS lookup table is:

125.236.203.172

Can someone please check that???

Its entirely possible there is a corrupted or deprecated entry for "kiwibiker.co.nz" within the DNS tables for some registrars..... maybe I will try a few different DNS servers....

**EDIT** I tried a few New Zealand based public DNS servers, all gave the same (125.236.203.172) IP address for kiwibiker.co.nz; so thats likely the right address.

So, I get the IP back from the DNS lookup, but, usuprisingly the ping times out with no returns of any kind (server at 125.236.203.172 is dead or my ping isnt reaching it)

So I run a trace-route.

Image attached.

As you can see, it doesnt get very far, I live in the United States, California. The trace makes it out of my ISP (Frontier), into Level3 Edge router in SanJose California, and dies right there.

As soon as I get out of my ISP the packets are blocked or dropped on their way to kiwibiker.co.nz (125.236.203.172).

That IS consistent with an IP ban for my IP at the kiwibiker.co.nz domain....

Confirm ip address from within NZ but timeout

Thanks for the information. All of this is above what we as moderators can access, I have asked the site admin to look into it and there is no IP ban on Neels. I will try to bring it to the attention of the site owner to see if he can shed some light on it. Thanks.

Its really wierd.....

I block many non NZ IPs to stop the server from being overwhelmed from literally tens of thousands of bots

[wobbly]

So is the answer to make this site accessible to confirmed members only - we did this on the EngMod 2T Users FB page to keep the wankers ( and bots ) out.

SM Would it be possible to only auto block ips from non members without posts?
