Hope you don't mind. I'm new here. And I just finished reading I think 70 posts.
I have to tell you the smilies I saw didn't equal the laughing I've done while reading.
a couple of guys are talking about performance and precision machining. one even likens his new engine to a swiss watch.
And the you have one guy who likes overgrown glowplug designed gassers. reminds me of the history channel and the extinction of dinosaurs. man how archaic.
And then there is one dude that really is sharp with the swiss watch being broken. Probably can't tell time anyway.
A couple of you really sound as though you have put a lot of time and effort into what makes a "good" engine. And you should be applauded for it. As for the snipers and cavemen Oh well no matter what anyone has to say about anything there always will be someone that knows more. And be careful what you wish for you might get it to regret. I just might come back for a good laugh again sometime.
