You've gotta love the forum 'professionals', like the guy that was trying to convince me the other day that you can adjust hydraulic lifters to stop tapping, re-use stretch head bolts, and that white smoke was caused by not having a CAT!!

LOL

hi karlos
as you can see by my profile i am a forum virgin
i had a little dig at austin just for a bit of fun hopefully he is not too mad whith me .
but i know what you meen i have been workng in engine development for over twenty years and i have worked for many of the so called best
engine builders in england and often i have helped them to progress
whith a little imput to whatever project they have given me .
often i have never received any gratitude often kept in the background
because of the egotistical attitude to grasp every secret they can and be the main man .
just human nature i guess,
i often see things on the net about engine work they have done and been quoted as gurus
when in actual fact it was mostly my work that i had done .
there are very few that are greatful and i can name many that are not
the only person who has actualy quoted me as been involved in his work
is ian howels thanks ian.
even though i have some talent for the job i do not profes to be an expert and i never will becouse i think if you have the blind attitude to call
yourself an expert you probably think you know it all and i have never yet met anyone who does no one does. ps the flow figures that were posted by austen some time ago for the cvh were totaly correct the cylinder bore size quoted was a mistake in the head specks menu in the program .
the reason i moved to switzerland was to get away from the moronic
attitude of 90 % of the brittish engine builders that act like spoiled kids
i am willing to speek to some extent to people that are interested
in my field of work but i cant tell all that i have lerned becouse that would be stupid and i cost me a lot of time and money to do so
hopfully we can all learn from each other.
