here they use wooden logs for electric poles

the wooden poles are stronger than all other steel poles.
results from cars crashing in to them: steel poles bent and fall but the hardwood ones only get scratches and the car totaled.

if you use that type of wood of sufficient size you’re safe.

but jackstands are much lighter and smaller in size making them easier to work with.
I do agree that I don’t feel completely safe when using jackstands.
But i don’t have time to make my own jackstands.
I have a design for a pair of 6 ton ones.

engine:
K24A1

Found in:
2002-2006 Honda CR-V
Displacement: 2,354 cc (143.6 cu in)
Bore and Stroke: 87 mm x 99 mm (3.43×3.90 inches)
Compression: 9.6:1
Power: 160 hp (120 kW) @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 162 lb·ft (220 N·m) @ 5200 rpm
Rev limit: 7000 rpm

Already changed the oil twice in 2 weeks but still there is some sludge left.
Since the car is not mine but part of the project i can’t work on it on my own.
So I can’t bring it home to drain the transmission.
Everything has to be done with permission from the project manager.
And finding Honda ATF here is going to be a pain in the ***.
I already know how VTEC, VTC, VVTI and stuff like that work.
But i have never taken apart an engine yet.

I do suspect it being a transmission problem since it feels like the transmission disconnects the wheels the moment it is about to shift into 4th

On the Dynocom we can see a rapid drop in power when it goes into “over rev”.
