Re: [Amc-list] overheating, and Smokey Yunick

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Thinking about it.
Is there not a finite amount o ftime per revolution that the "heat" is useful?
Once that piston has descended past a certain point the push is gone.
  I guess that's where the diesel shine as it wants to keep building heat to light of the next charge.
Or is it the squeeze that ignites it?

   Oh, well, at least I'm thinking about something other than my stupid shoulder...oops..too late.
Rats.
