I never get why people try to build motors with internet specs. Do you mean, not checking product? I'm not sure what you are getting at, maybe I'm having a dense moment.

Think of it as fine sandpaper. I've seen rather large increases and decreases with air cleaners on Dyno runs, and no difference, go figure.

Any car I've known will pass smog if you have a good/complete burn. A cat helps for full throttle applications and small problems in burn. I also have found that any car without a cat will get better gas mileage, if running correctly. So rest assured you are doing better for the environment if you have a good running car AND no cat.

R134a will not be as effective as r12. So if you can't get the r12 going good, chances are a 134a system will make things warmer. (since we are going into winter, maybe a good thing?! LOL)

You will sometimes fine wires that can be for another car, or, accessories that your car did not come with. By the way it is taped up, it seems to be an "extra" for your car.

Just for fun, build a h2 generator. Post results.

Arms being chucked usually comes from a pivot that works loose and lets em fly! FLY, FLY, be free little arm, be free!! LOL

Ahhh. I too would pull a head on upgrades, just a good idea.

The valve job will require the head to be removed. Cam can be done without removing head.

Yep, Paul is going to probably be your best bet.

Yea, thanks for the tip... it's really not all that, fun though....

Same here, sheild, that is;)!

Yes, bummer. Or you just can consider that I'm a unquantifiable genius and it may take years for people to understand the depths at which I use language. Naw............

Dose it matter or does it really matter? Some people don't like to talk about personal accomplishments or educational background in a public forum, this is one of the reasons why we have PM. __________________ Yep. Long winded but that is what I was making a point about, as well as, others.

Because, maybe he dose maybe he dose not. Some of the comments made in this tread and that other one speaks to your question by various angles. Quantifying education of a person by a school attended 20-30 years ago can actually be insulting. This is in part due to an overall preconceived notions of paperwork, not character. School is a stating point, I'm sure Tony could teach kids starting points on many subjects, not only because he went to Harvard, but because he has out grown it in so many ways. Funny thing is, it reminds me of those funny arguments of: I know (or have a X friend) so I can't be a X. If I said I came from a extremely wealthy and powerfully family, dose that make me. IT is what I done, do and are doing that defines me in my entirety. Done: screwed up Do: learning from screw up Doing: correcting screw up Repeat....However, hopefully a little wiser. Funny thing, isn't that what is expected from members? If I asked you how much did you know when you came on this board, would that be a good gage of who you are now?

No vid on that one, just sound. Way wicked!

Dangerous question to ask Challenger. Anyhooo, the Germans, who almost ruled the world, had hands on engineers. They would drive the race cars and even fly a V1 bomb (had guidance problems). America was built on the principals that Tony talks about, the current way of doing things is killing us. Kinda like the saying, you can give a man a fish to eat (formal education), or teach a man to fish and feed him for a life time, (hands on education). I don't know if I mentioned this before: A wise Jesuit who taught a GU, father Schoenberg (SP), bonified photographic memory, wrote many books, said once, "When I was young you could teach collage kids 80% of the the worlds knowledge in four years, now your lucky if they know 10%. It's not the teachers fault, nor the students, it is just the "data base" of the world is that BIG! In some ways, even somewhat specialized, you really will only know very little about a whole lot of stuff. Just wish the teachers would pass this along to there students, (NOT ALL) just most. Most teachers do spend alot of time making sure there "self esteem" is VERY healthy witch, subsequently, compounds the problems. No I'm not a english professor, however, I always loved it when they would marval at abusive use of grammer skills by some nut, I mean some poet. Well life gose on.....

Trust me, a good man will even have a hard time, "taking one for the team". Personal integrity is a good guild.

Happy Birthday:) This may explain why he was soooo nice in a "what tranny fits my car?" question. Teehee;)

Teehee.....

What head? What dose the other side look like and lash pads. Witch ones are like this, starting off on cly 1 back. Witch bolt came loose? Is the wipe patten an "optical" illusion? Meaning the wipe is not completely into the rocker arm? Or are the lines in the wipe diagonal?

I had a Honda impeller that would come loose from it's shaft randomly for about a year, drove me nuts. It was a stamped steal one.

I like your style RUZN. Your learning the cheap way and having fun! I suspect alot of high end HybridZ guys have a few memories like this;) BTW, BRAAP, that is the up sizing coupler for the larger tb LOLOLOL, ZX style.

Yes, however, you just take that sticky down to usps. Don't divalge any info, they are the experts, let them tell you what is up. If there is a problem, make sure you keep that sticky. Fretting with limited knowlage leads to heartburn,,,,,,don't ask me how I know.

Yes, just takes so long for it to catch up, sometimes a lifetime.
