Bruce and Nick here are incredible sources of engine lore for those of us without all that experience; and I'm glad to here your opinions too. Welcome Davis! We all know there's lots of ways to get any job done, and your motors don't blow up due to just luck after 20 years. We need the diversity, it's good for everyone, and that means disagreement on technique. The rest of us reading this stuff aren't listening for "who will win X argument?" but "wow these are all interesting ideas to consider". I wish yall'd pipe up about AMC six issues like this and not just 8's. While I don't go for performance like that I DO go for longevity and I sometimes use my motors hard in the desert -- good oiling and build techniques matter! _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
