Stopped reading when the author referred to the combustion in an engine as a detonation.

Another use: on my oldests bmx race bike, he has a disc brake setup. It is like 300% easier to work on. Pull the axle, and the wheel falls out. No futzing with the caliper to get the wheel off the frame, not concerns about getting the w

Me and the kids race BMX bikes, and you’re actually far more likely to take a bar end to your own self, rather than another rider. You typically bang elbows more than you’re hitting a bar on a competitor. I’ve actually seen a kid get impale

Yeah, but in the past two weeks his personal life’s reputation has taken a massive hit. I had assumed he was an asshole when it came to biz stuff, but now it’s clear he’s been hiding his personal assholishness pretty well.

So I’m supposed to show my engagement by wasting 1-2h per day commuting? And what is “engagement” anyway?

If they don’t use it, and refuse to license it, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

My plan with the mode y my wife just bought herself is to sell in 3-4 years. My 1T diesel pickup won’t be retired like this. I don’t like this approach, but it is what it is.

You won’t always have that option. In ‘02 I ended up taking a job as I had been out of work for 9 mos, it paid 1/2 of what I was earning previously, and that was just the start. But, I had no other options at the time. It took 2 years

I don’t mean to sound like an ass (but probably will), but the style of your writing here couple with the subject cracked me up.

I was wondering the same thing, re: dry (or not) air. I’ve spent a good bit of $ on a drying system for my setup. Also: I’ve seen water vapor in the compressor ruin an otherwise nice paint job.

So I’ve learned all sorts of things, readings bits and pieces over the years. Mark donohue’s unfair advantage has a chapter on the Ford gt program and his involvement. Has some detail about Walt hansgen and some technical details. Other stu

Ford v Ferrari comes to mind too. Great movie, kinda sorta got the events right, but forgot lots of people, assigned credit to other people than those actually responsible, and added a ton of drama crap. Examples: the Holman-moody team came

in my case, the .com was owned by a computer company in tijuana (no joke).

I’ve “owned” a .org since 1999. It’s never meant anything.

Is put it more like: there are multiple United States, some well off, some poor and rural, some urban and rural. Each comes with its own set of problems. Urban poor tends to be violent. Rural poor tends towards suicidal. If you break it apa

With the first kid, I wouldn’t have chosen his mom, I should have shopped around more. It’s cost me a ton of money, and my health dealing with her after the fact. Kid is 11 now, and doing pretty well all things considered, but it’s been a l

Mostly what i've seen is making the SBC take a symmetrical head. Saw some INSANE CFE pro stock heads at the machinist last year, he was building them in a large bore, short stroke deal setup for bonneville to run like 11krpm.

Huh? What do you mean "takes off". Do you mean do we build LS motors now instead of gen1/2 SBCs then yes. If you mean "do the LSx heads drop onto a gen1/2 SBC", then no, not at all. only thing common between

I really doubt the OP did the machine work himself, those tools are not affordable for just using once or twice. Buying bore gages and mics however is totally doable. And no, the LS motors have been in use since '97. Including the ge

17-18 thou here on my LS6 on the rods. 23-24 on the mains. I'd like to see tighter on the mains, but not sure if its worth ordering another set of bearings and using 1/2 of them to tighten up 1/2 a thou like i did on the ro
