I'm more worried about the block. More specifically, the "spray on" cylinder liners. If you get a detonation event, bad enough to snap a ring land, then the bore liner is toast (and by extension the block). However, if there's enough meat between the water jackets and the bore, we might be able...
Good video @Guff. You did a great job of packing a lot of good info into the time that you used.
Hopefully you won't get flooded with the typical "Buh buh... ITH NOT A THOOPRA!!!!!!" comments.
I agree with you on Chris Harris. However, even if I were on fire, I wouldn't care about Matt Farah's opinion, even it was about where the nearest fire extinguisher was at.
I've spent a portion of my career in the manufacturing sector. Since then I have been fascinated by the way things are...
Nice piece of backyard psychoanalysis but... no. I've simply spent long enough following cars from concept to showroom to know what survives and what doesn't.
The funny thing for me is that I did a 180 against the grain. I didn't like the FT-1 but I fancy the MKV a bit. I remember when a co-worker first showed me the FT-1, breathlessly exclaiming about how he was in love. I took one look and said "Whatever... nobody's gonna build that!" I then...
*I only quote you for posterity, since you have a tendency of going back and deleting your long-winded rants screeds posts...
Anyway, doesn't sound like you're much of a fan... guess you'll be moving along now. Take care. :wave:

These days most vendors only photograph the car in 1-3 colors and use image editing software to produce the other colors. This works OK for every color except blue. Blue has a significantly different index of refraction and light emissions rate than other colors in the visible spectrum. What...
Yep.
There's an old expression in the military (and the space industry) that I'll paraphrase as: "...ounces add up to pounds, and pounds add up to a motherf*cker". This basically translates to: unless you're willing to save weight along every single step of the process, there's not much to be...
I just miss the days when you actually had interior color options to choose from. My '71 Datsun 510 came in 12 paint colors and 9 different interior colors. And that was for an entry level econobox.
