  1. Yeah, I figured you wanted the combustion chamber of the head, but what I gave was from memory, and I don't know the combustion chamber cc's. I'll have to look that up. I'll go look for it now.
  2. I'll try a little: L24: 83mm X 73.3mm 2393cc Head = 42.4cc L26: 83mm X 79mm 2565cc Head = 44.7cc L28: 86mm X 79mm 2753cc Head = 44.6cc LD28: 84.5mm X 83mm 2792cc Head = ??? That's all I can remember. Although someone may want to double check my numbers. Edit: added head cc's.
  3. Ok... Let me think... A guy walks into a bar and later dies of brain hemeridging. Oh wait, that's not funny. That's sad. Let me try again... Two peanuts were walking down the street, one was assaulted. Or... Two cannibals were eating a clown, one says to the other, "does this taste funny to you?" BWAHAHAHAHA! I know, I'm hilarious. Or not...
  4. I didn't laugh at all. It's not that it's not funny, because it is, it's just that you can go to any automotive forum on the internet and get those jokes.
  5. About two month ago, I was buidling an engine in my auto tech class. The engine was a Ford 289. Well, I had apparently gotten the wrong torque specs for the main caps, because they said 80 FT/LB. So, I set the torque wrench to 80 FT/LB and started tightening the main cap bolt, when SNAP, the bolt broke! So, I checked the sheet again, checked the wrench, lowered the wrench to 70 FT/LB. Went to the next bolt, started tightening it, then SNAP, that bolt broke too! So, this time I went and got a different torque wrench thinking maybe the wrench I had needed to be calibrated. I lowered the new wrench to 60 FT/LB, started tightening the next bolt, when SNAP, that bolt broke too! I was dumbfounded, so I lowered the wrench to 50 FT/LB, then went to the next bolt, and what do you know? SNAP! Finally, I said screw this and set it to 25 FT/LB and the bolt finally didn't break. Luckily, that engine wasn't going to be used in a car (it had two fist sized holes in the block from rods blowing out) so I didn't have to take the time to pull the broken bolts out. I felt like an idiot after breaking off four bolts. The other guys in the class seemed to get a kick out of it. lol. Although it wasn't as bad as the guy next to me who was torquing a plastic valve cover and din't read the specs right. He tried torquing it to 30 FT/LB instead of 30 IN/LB!
  6. That's nice. But to be honest, it tries too hard to rhyme. Some of it doesn't make much sense. Like since when did Santa ever smoke? Wouldn't he have to be a smoker to quit smoking? Also, why would the main character "fly like a snail" if he was in such a hurry? Sorry to pick apart the poem like that. But, anyway, it's nice that someone tried to make an auto-related christmas poem. So, yeah, Merry Christmas all.
  7. Oh my... that's gross. It kind of reminds me of that episode of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" where Carlton and Hilary hooked up by mistake. I couldn't imagine if that happened to me. ::shudders::
  8. Alright, my folks have asked me what I want for Christmas, and one thing I want is a DMM. But, there are alot of DMMs out there. One I will most likely get is a Craftsman model because they're relatively inexpensive, fairly good quality, and Sears is only a 15min. drive from my house. So, I would like some guidence and which one I should ask for. Here is a link to Sear's DMM page. It will mostly be used for automotive applications (volts, resistance, continuity, etc.). It will have to cost $100 or less. Thanks for the help!
  9. I need to get me a friend like that! Very nice collection!
  10. Well, those poepl aren't going to like my new project. A '68 mustang with a 3-cylinder from a Geo. Darn. I guess I won't tell them about it. (BTW, the above is a joke. I AM going to tell them about it.)
  11. I was browsing on ebay and noticed a guy selling the choke mechanism, but it was one with a cruise control mechanism also. When I saw this, I was kind of surpirsed because I had no idea the 240Z's had a cruise control option. (I'm assuming it's an option because I've never seen, nor heard of, cruise control in a 240Z until then.) Well, I was wondering if there is anyone here that has cruise control in their 240Z and what all is involved with it. I'm not asking because I want to try and put cruise in a 240Z or anything, I was just intrigued by what I saw and wanted to know more. Does anyone have any pictures of the cruise control? How does it work? What are all of the pieces that are involved in the mechanical cruise control in a Z? Thanks tor anyone that can give a little info! BTW, here's a link to the auction that I'm reffering too: Cruise Control
  12. OUCH! That looks like it must've hurt! You're very lucky you don't have some permanent damage. I hope you heal alright!
  13. I can't watch the video. It freezes 8 sec. into loading it every time. It sounds really cool from the your guys' comments too.
  14. That flash is totally degrading to both men and women. I find that flash highly offensive and I have contacted the creator and requested that it be removed from the internet. HAHAHA! J/K! That is very funny! Stupid women! :shakes fist: J/K again. That is seriously funny though.
  15. Nice! That thing is a beast, and very clean! You must be so proud!
  16. ROLFMAO! I love the people that say "It's worth $XXX but I'll let it go for only $XXX."
  17. You're so lucky! I've wanted a Titan ever since they came out! But, with no money and no job, it doesn't look like I'll be getting one aytime soon. lol.
  18. That thing is cool! A true hybrid! Corvette suspension, rear-end, and transmission with a chrysler engine!
  19. You should see my truck when I overload the bed. lol.
