So. I was playing with a new 2t engine combination by using a concrete saw cylinder/jug in the bench, and my pit bike was stolen this week....

Started a fire in the gut,...

I would stay away from Walbro. It's not even a brand anymore, just clones. I have had so many fail, I now use Aeromotive drop in or Bosch 044 in-line in client cars

The stock pump works fine...

Don't sweat the weld, that's just to keep the screw captive. I would take a tack weld over pressed in splines any day when wanting to captivate a nut/bolt.

Northern You hit every proverbial nail on the head with the 10 description lol. 10 is fine for emails, browsing, printing etc, but my lappy is a tool I use frequently to put food on my table.

I have been reselling for IE for some time. Last few times they were a few days getting my orders out vs the same day of the past, but nonetheless, they have always taken care of me.

As far...

I have a bunch. $12 paypal to John@m20guru.com with a note "cam seal carrier" and I will get one out to ya via USPS priority.

^^^that's just the thing with 10. Unless it's the OE OS, it sucks to get it working properly on older machines. My lappy is old and can only 8gb RAM, but it's still an i5 and is blazing fast with the...

I'm old. First PC was win 3.1

Win7 was the apex of MS. 8 and 8.1 was junk aside from the xp emulators and virtual machine ease. wino 10 is made for the "one button i-phantasm" crowd....

[ForcedFirebird]

Resource hogs. I realize I'm getting old. Kids are about gone, one is already a year grad from FSU, flipped over the handle bars of a bicycle when a poor lady almost ran me over in the hot pits at Daytona...

When I opened the shop, a customer offered to pay me in 100 BTC. I opted the cash, and when BTC hit $1k, I was kicking myself (and prolly would have sold).

So, I bought a bunch of Doge for...

[ForcedFirebird]

Yeah, but what would be the interference considering angular squish? I know when I take .002-.003" off a valve face, it only affects the stem height a few tenths of a thou.........but.........that's...

[ForcedFirebird]

It takes no time. Use a 1/4" 13mm short socket on a 1" long 1/4" extension and it will fit behind everything in situ. Loosen the bottom bolt a turn, and just loosen the top a smidge. The...

Man, I bought some of that Dogecoin on a whim because cheap and a few pennies and it went insane lol.

Also, I have come to the conclusion, I HATE Windows 10. Now that I'm forced to use it...

The above post says "series" and "shunt". Series is cut the wire and add in-line, shunt is cut both wires and bridge bare wires with resistor, but keeping them isolated from each other....

Hey Digger, crank hubs have been NLA fore a while. The client with the 12:1 m20b25 that exploded his damper two yr ago ('19) went with a modified ATI unit that was drilled for the m20 crank snout, then...

[ForcedFirebird]

Yup, exactly. Either way, I have built many of engines over the years that had a gasket slightly smaller than the bore. So long as the pistons don't hit the gasket at TDC, I'm not afraid to run it....

[ForcedFirebird]

Sorry, Fort Lauderdale area. A fair bit south of NY. :/...

[ForcedFirebird]

Correct. The valve relief bottom (the "blind hole" if you will) has the same plane on both pistons. In other words, if you stick either piston in an engine, you will have the same valve to piton...

[ForcedFirebird]

Maybe. The valve reliefs are deeper because the pistons are higher compression, and BMW left the valve pocket depth the same (in relation to the cylinder head).

Since you shaved the block,...

[ForcedFirebird]

The hood hinge hits because there's an r12 to r134a adapter on the high pressure schrader port. To remedy this, you will need to evacuate the gas, remove the schrader valve from the adapter and put it...
