• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Ready to race

I saved that shot of the engine mock up....when I try to explain for folks how those "corn cobs" were configured they just stare at me.

These things are a maintenance nightmare, and you can see why, but I think they are also the apogee of the piston world in terms of power. So, you trade complexity for power.

The owners of that mock up have a bunch of strange stories on what that engine is that they feed to the inquisitive. They do have fun with it.
