Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

Guess I should have looked in the Off-Topic area.
There is a thread there on it.
(try to stay out of the gutter down there)

Is this a replacement for the Engine Masters competition?

Saw it on Engine Builder: Amsoil Masters of Motors

Thanks, tuffxf!

Thanks, Kevin!

Tuffxf, is there another passage from the main to the rod journals? (must be, just not seen?)

Thanks for that explanation, not exactly what I thought it would mean. That would be like watching the last yellow, except you'd be watching the other car. So, I'd be doing things to make my car 'look' like it's not moving when it is moving. (by the time the other guy notices the car is 'leaving' yo...
