Aren't you forgetting that the losing side were using points ignitions too? Someone having won with points is hardly a selling point when the...
Well... He may have been back to read, without logging in.
As others say, check how thick the cylinder walls are, and go from there. (Even if there may be plenty of metal core shift during manufacturing...
True. At the same time, most engines weren't very well tuned, as long as they ran seemingly good people used them, not many spent the time for...
Just the right size for hobby use, small enough to fit anywhere, big enough to handle descent size pieces.
...and to add to confusion, old electronics capacitors sometimes were marked MF for microfarad. Normally, a big M is for mega = million. Anyway....
May I ask what capacitor you have been using, or would that be digging into your trade secrets?
I thought the same when I read the post. A test bench could put a component through more use in a week or two than years worth of actual driving....
Easy for the driver to get in through the big door, easy for backseat passengers to get in through the rear door. What's not to like?
Reduced hole size in head gaskets is common to force coolant to flow only where you want it to flow - sometimes a very small hole is there just to...
I believe there are special welting feet for that job. There's a good chance your machine uses a standard type of feet so they may be easily...
Well, that depends on how strict interpretation of "good" you mean. Burning gas mostly creates CO2 and water, for everyday street use you want...
May I ask why? Having a cheap, simple device to hold the engine at proper operating temperature all the time (except the first warm up minutes)...
A good idea, but not fool proof unfortunately. Core shift when the block was cast means the metal thickness will vary from block to block, and all...
I don't see anyone mention the detail that when you control ignition separately you can wait to activate it until you see you have oil pressure -...
Use wire clamps and you don't have to worry very much about exact dimensions. [MEDIA]
Not sure becoming a BMW driver is considered "good driving practice".
Survivorship bias. We think things were better quality 50 år 100 years ago because the 50 or 100 year old things we see are good quality. Nobody...
Most of the world is metric. Might be time to join in. ;)
If I remember it right, screw type blowers have far better efficiency and handle more boost than the common roots blowers do. If dragracing rules...
Depends. If you have a sensibly built multi carb setup where each cylinder draws air only from one carb you'll know which carb to adjust when you...
The coil getting hot enough to puke oil should only come from too much current running through it for too much time. How that happened when the...
Probably not an issue for old points ignitions, but electronic ignitions (and even more so electronic fuel injections etc.) can get "confused" by...
Yeah, that voltage reading is either a measuring error (digital meter confused by ignition interference for example) or an indication of a very...
Miles per gallon may be important, but smiles per gallon is importanter. :cool:
Loads of ingredients in oil. No surprise if a few show up in UV.
The problem about using the wrong oils is that it rarely punishes us right away, if at all. If we got a broken down engine the next day, the next...
The basic idea should work just fine, although I think you may want something that can move faster. Some sort of servo (look at the ones in radio...
That's still risky. Different additives affect each other, I think it's already been mentioned that the extra detergent in diesel oil reduces the...
You could always get rid of all the nitrogen. Not very practical, but effective!
