    Oil cooled?

    Do you suppose oil would bake and varnish, at least in high temps like Las Vegas, or any hot desert?

    Higher Compression

    Compression readings, static such as what you'd be reading from a compression gauge during cranking, measures the cylinders ability to seal. It has nothing to do with compression ratio.

    Higher Compression

    My understanding of compression ratio is combustion chamber size - volume, compared to cylinder volume. Liquid is visible, so using liquid works for my imagination. Move the piston to btc and fill the cylinder volume with liquid. Lets say it took 10 parts to fill the volume. Move the piston to...

    In the news. Very sad.

    Very tragic loss for both families. I know I'd hate to have to go through this. It even saddens me to hear about others who have to live through something like this. https://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04 ... =obnetwork https://www.wsmv.com/story/21908501/woma ... 4-year-old...

    and now for something different...

    Almost forgot Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Wizard. The creator of Gumby, Art Clokey, lived a couple blocks over from me. And the pioneer of TV exercise, Jack LaLane, lived here too. All of these guys died just in the past 3-5 years.
