Yet, the machine shop mic'd all my parts and they are well within tolerance including the pistons. (which I assumed would be throw-away). Everyone criticizes what they dont know. Just because you do things a certain way, doesn't mean we all have to do it the same. If any problem occurred from what I have been doing, I would pay a huge price in early engine failures, more money at the machine shop, etc. Yet no, been doing it this way for over 15 years and probably 7-8 engines.

People who are not trained in the conventional way, have no idea how to do anything, self taught individuals, often come up with unique ways to solve a problem. They also come up with questions that have never been asked. Its just the way it is for some of us. This is a badge of honor because inventiveness, ingenuity, and precision should be honored, not ridiculed. I find it amazing sometimes the crap I have to go through here from people who don't understand that. I am truly embarrassed for them.

Remember the HEI thread Carl? Everyone? What I had to go through was a very similar ridicule because nobody wanted to let go of their information and wanted to belittle the guy who wanted to create something. Well, the stainless steel adapter plates are at the waterjet right now. The Ignition Specialist I sent my test distributor off to in Indy tested it on his machine and it should be good to go, however, I am waiting on my engine to come back from the machine shop so I can do further testing.

Everyone here has the option, rather than making a TOTAL arse out of themselves to just not reply. Yet somehow, people who don't know the answer want to keep up some argument that does its very best to cloud the actual issues. Its an internet phenomena because I know you boys are not complete jerks in real life and would think its cool for someone to innovate. Pick on me all you want, despite YOU, I WILL find the answers I seek, and if my methods are unorthodox because I wasn't edumacated the same as you, keep up that snide laughter until I fail. Good luck with that.
