Some of you are worried that a little paint on the push rod tubes will cause the engine to overheat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Some of you are worried that a little paint on the push rod tubes will cause the engine to overheat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) If I was to add 40 holes in your house about 1 inch in diameter, it would be like leaving a window wide open. So every little tiny incremental improvement using new chemicals, new knowledge etc can allow us to add more horsepower and reduce heat. Things like paint versus zinc plating could add a few degrees and keep you from the full potential of the motor. So yes, we argue about it, but it's so we can all learn. |
