oh thats an outstanding troll lfmao

I had an experience of a diesel spill on my er5, on a round about, back end went all over the place. Wibble wobble, kinda like a high side tank slapper... I managed to stay on although I had no idea wtf was going on...

Diesel is very hard to see and extremely slippery. What happens is you get a hol car drivers that lose or break their fuel cap so just drive without one. When they go round a corner the diesel rushes to one side then the other and squirts out of the filling cap... The major problem is its just so hard to see! Its not like a squased tin can on a corner or wet iron works on drains... Its practically invisable.

Keep the tractor, I will take the meat :D

Tractor?

that meat is already a tad too dark for my taste, i prefer bleu.
...I would also never touch a Brazilian, then again that's just me.

Yeah, you're right. Building a high performance engine from the ground up, fabricating anything from the intake to the plumbing, valve covers, fly cutting the pistons, and then of course, being able to tune it electronically.

Nah, I don't know anything about engine theory let alone a retarded question asking how efficient a combustion engine is.

Another hint for the hopeless: You kinda gotta know an engine's efficiency before you ever think you can some how tune it to run, let alone tune it for maximum safe horsepower.

I'm honestly starting to think you are a complete imbecile. I really do feel sorry for you. You just don't have the 1st clue and you prove it time and time again.

No. There's no point. It's just a matter of weak seat pressure and high rpm's that wouldn't allow the valves to close fast enough to clear the oncoming compression/exhaust stroke.

The good thing about that engine is the valve seat is parallel to the piston. So the only thing that happens when the piston hits it is it slammed back into the seat/guide.

Any other engine and all there would've been a catastrophe.

My family has been farming for generations. We're what you call the midwest corn/soybean producers.

I don't understand how you would hire a trucker to move your car though? I'm sure there's gotta be race teams in Europe that surely own their own tow equipment? It wouldn't exactly be cost effective to call up said trucker and say "load up all these tools, spare parts, get the car ready" and then drive (depending on where the race is) 200-2500mi and then have him sit there all weekend long while you qualify, race, possibly get tore down, etc.

Every single drag racer I know owns some sort of truck and trailer to haul to the race. Some guys have 18 wheelers. Some have enclosed trailers they pull with the diesels (what I do) and some guys have open trailers they pull with a lighter gas truck.

As far as electrical power, the majority of it is still being made by the burning of fossil fuels. It doesn't matter if it's in the form of a battery, capacitor, or alternate current. You're not saving much. Obviously the trains need the huge gear reduction motors or they couldn't pull themselves. There's many smaller applications for this on many modern cars today. Fly by wire throttle bodies have an electric reduction motor (direct current) and my diesel for instance has the VGT controlled by the same principle. But you're not going to get that setup in a car anytime soon. We're still in the maximize profits in the shortest amount of time stage.

I'm well aware we are going to run out of oil, but when you have businesses that fill tankers up with milk in china to ship it have way across the world just so that said business can undercut a dairy in the same country by 10c a gallon, in other words, wasting more fossil fuels in one trip than I could possible burn for 20 years, there's not much you or I is going to do about it.

I'm not about to stop my joy, because I extended the end of oil production by 0.00003 seconds.

sure. non interference engine they call it. thought I would point it out just in case changing springs wasn't enough. changing the cam profile to steeper slope will shorten the time the valve is held open. if you end up needing a valve job, well you'll know soon enough. good luck. ;)
