This forum is a great place to share ideas and get some feedback. Over the years we have built up a broad base of 'common knowledge'. The problem with common knowledge is that it can stifle creativity. For example, we just had a thread about large bore four cylinder motors, and it immediately received the standard response (myself included). It was also suggested that the place to talk about new and experimental ideas for these motors is another site.
I'm just worried that people are afraid to post about their new ideas, for fear of being told why it won't work, why they should have done something else, etc. In fact I know of one person who sent out a really cool email about some 914 work he did, but didn't post it here for exactly the reason above. What's the 914World like from your perspective? |

Hmmm, this forum "supports Jake".
I wouldn't say that....he simply posts and he gets comments yea or nay. No one that I know of extends him any more courtesy that anyone else gets. Frankly I think his stuff is very pricey and I've yet to see anyone with an engine with high (street) miles report back in. If that has happened please point it out to me. You may have noticed or didn't care that I took a 10 month break and missed some of the drivel...err advertising...errr, posts.... I'm getting older and I don't race anymore so I could care less about 4 cylinder race motors.....I'm a six kinda guy. As to the Rabbit rod and Chevy "piston" type IV motor...I built one of those and posted on it back on the old Renegade website....it ran in the Rocket just before I did the 3.0 six conversion. I think it was DDDD that said it wouldn't work. |
