I know Jake suggests tossing these, but unfortunantly Im rebuilding a set of heads. Id like to keep them stock, but Im more concerned about longevity.
Is there anything that can be done to improve thier function? Cryo? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

My dad had access to his chemistry teacher's closet of stuff. He grabbed a sample of sodium (fist sized) and took it to a local lake....him and a buddy threw it in a lake and it floated down a little bit and he watched in horror as it floated nearby a bridge, and just before it got to the bridge BOOM! and a large column of water surged up from the lake! if you put potassium (small amount 1/4 dime size) in a coffee pot with water..it'll blow the coffee pot apart. b |
