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!

You get what you pay for, and free advice is just that.
While I don't totally disagree with you Curt, it is an open forum, so bad advice is just a freely given as good, and unfortunately the bad advice has the same right to be posted as good. It falls upon the solicitor of any technical advice to consider the source, and the basis for whatever opinion is given. If you take bad advice and lunch your engine, it's your own fault. We've all done dumb stuff with wrenches in our hand (or nearby). It's what you do after you make a dumb mistake. Ok, you stepped in it, do you clean it up or smear it around everywhere?? If this thread is in reference to what we can all now call "The Chopstick Incident", I recieved a PM more or less blasting me for posting my opinion, regardless of my own technical experience. Good for him! I'm a grown up and I can stand behind my opinions just as much as someone can feel justified helping someone ruin an engine. This is just my opinion though, and I've been wrong before. Go ahead fire that puppy up and see what happens (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
