FOURTEEN THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE.

Without throwing a rod or having the valve springs float.

That’s when the valve spring can’t keep the valves sealing against the valve seat because the spring isn’t strong enough at high RPM’s.

I’ve wound out plenty of V8 engines to the point they won’t rev any higher because of valve float.

But this boggles my mind.

You literally can’t comprehend how damn fast the pistons are traveling up and down the cylinders.

On one hand I can see his point. On the other hand, I can remember SEVERAL times when a lane merge became necessary because of some idiot ahead and watching people, almost always women, seeing me trying to get over and them staring straight ahaead and refusing to give an inch.

It’s a toss up for who I want to take an unexpected ride more.

If you can see that you need to merge a half mile down the road and try to wait until the last possible seond to get over, you are a fucking dick and I would laugh my ass off to see someone do this to you.

Holy crap.

I am WAY out of touch.

30 years ago I knew every wrecking yard in the Portland area and visired several on a regular basis when I was putting my ’61 F-100 SWB Unibody truck together.

More than 3/4’s of them don’t even exist anymore.

The 2 seats I bought recently for the Sprite were almost $300 but this is RIDICULOUS!

They want more money for a used engine than I used to pay for a running and driving car!!!

TWO OR THREE!!!

Picture this video in your mind.
