Not necessarily... the fun part is, if you have the same displacement but a longer stroke, the air has further to move to fill the cylinder because the distance to the farthest reaches of the chamber are longer. This means that the velocity past the valve has to be higher, which changes the way the ...

Hi, it's Pete... remember me? My motorsports aspirations have outgrown the shop access I've had at work. I'm looking for leads on renting a small commercial site or sharing an existing one with fellow gearheads. Also willing to help fab/repair/crew for road racers as is practical. (Have crewed for s...

Somewhat unhappy with the way this video was edited. He did go on to finish second place.

I remember reading about this somewhere... The story at the time was that one corner had a failure, and the additional loading on the other corner caused it to fail as well. Things like that make me laugh when people talk about "FORMULA ONE TECHNOLOGY!". They design everything to be just s...

The most fun roads locally follow rivers. Twisty, curvy, and hilly. The truckers like to fly through at 60mph (posted 45-55) and deer kind of hang out near rivers.

I was in high school as well. Oddly enough hearing the music on MTV inspired me to buy the first three albums. Then I stopped liking the "new" stuff 8) The problem, of course, is that Cliff up and died. He was responsible for a lot of the "polish" on their second and third albums...

Black Album is not REAL Metallica, man...

Ah, didn't realize you were not new to Saturn ownership.

Just got an SL2 in today. No oil leaks and there was 3/4 quart of oil in the engine, including oil filter. For some reason the oil light kept coming on We're going to do the run-rite to it and see how it does for oil consumption.
