Rant on.
i'm personally get very tired of the bad advice given by some folks here who obviously have no idea what they are talking about, and probably don't own a 914 or have never even seen one, much less driven one. You know who you are! I will not name names. Newbies, do a search before you post your questions, and take into consideration that not everyone here is a "guru", including me. I state only facts that I believe are true, recheck my facts before I do a final post, and delete the ones I think might be questionable or make me look like a complete dumbass! I give advice on the stuff I know to be fact, and request knowledge of things I don't know about from those I respect. Other than that, I try to keep my mouth shut and talk about Fat Tire, but you guys have tripped my trigger!!!!!!!! Bullshit artist beware! I'm gonna bust your balls every chance I get!!!! No Mercy!

Thank you Mark for understanding, but you put it in an open forum, so you were answered in an open forum.
Now back to the subject at hand........... Each of us has a different experience level and responds to questions based on that level. Most of us have enough common sense to know when advice is "bad".....use that common sense and follow your gut feeling. If this whole thread is about the "chopsticks" thingy....then the answer about just running the engine has some validity even though I have not personally experienced it. Since combustion temperature is around 1400 - 1600 degrees F, a cocktail stirrer nor chopstick would survive very long. A worst case scenerio would be a hardened depost in the combustion chamber and the phosgene gas emitted as the "plastic" burns. In turning an engine over, the plastic would be broken into small pieces that should pass out of the combustion chamber, with the worst case scenerio being a piece stuck between the valve and the seat. This could result in the piston hitting the valve, but at the low revolutions, it would serve to bust the plastic rather than bend the valve or crack the piston. I would, personally, fish it out or disassemble the engine......... I'm done....................... |
