Rob just called me. Engine let go this morning in Stockton, on the way to the autocross. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Sounds like a piston skirt broke off and trapped itself between the crank and case, and then blew its way out. Now he's got to wait for a tow truck. Ooooooh man. Poor Rob. I'm sure he'll have some pictures (with garbage cans) when he get's it back to his place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

Whats wrong with a personal attack?? Is their any other type?? If an attack doesn't hit home and piss someone off, then why make it??? Right JP?
For the better part of two years I have gone above and beyond to hold my temper with a few people, just because I don't have the time to deal with "it"... But there comes a time when I really don't give a damn and that time has come. Glad to hear that you built your car JP, because there is no way anyone else could please you.. and why don't you buy a tail dragger to put that engine in, so you can fit in with the rest of the crowd that shares your attitude. You've built one car... I built a dozen before I was 18 years old, by myself in an old shop on top of a Mountain in Georgia... One day we'll meet and I'll ensure that you won't know when or where and it may be sooner than you think. My work has been attacked by JP for the better part of this Millennium. I value this work as much as any family member... Speaking of bad gas... Today we tore into a 996, 3.6 Vario Cam + engine that had cylinder liner failure.. It seems that the fuel in RUSSIA has attacked the cylinder liners and delaminated them with only 30K on the engine... Fuel can impact lots of aspects of an engine.. Just look at BMW with the Alusil issues of the past, attributed to the US fuel blend.. Ever had someone ship you an engine from Russia, JP???
