Don't ask me any questions--I didn't read them--I was looking for something else and decided to try and copy/paste something------

Is this new guy from Michigan??? there is also a recent new guy posting similar Smokey stuff at Club Cobra however under different name/location (Mo) could be mis typed

what the hell jerry ?i not much north then you are ?? . snow man it .s been in the mid 90.s shop is sweating all my machines tables and ways are rusting and i am not happy

The oil in the crank passages I disregard except fot the Ford FE nascar cranks--------

I consider it part of the crank weight and since I can't prove that its uneven, I just regard it as crank weight-----

On the subject of the oil rope ing around the crank as it runs---doesn't happen--altho it appears to, it is an optical illusion that your eye and brain can't pick up--just appears like a blurrr--Now some oil appears to be going around with the crank, but it is really just being flong (flung) off centrifugly and in a picture (or real time) looks like its traveling with the crank, but as it comes off the circular rod throw as it revolves around the main axis, plus oil from the main will look like its traveling with the crank---
There is a HP differance on engines wit/without windage trays, scrapers,etc---which proves that the crank is turning thru that cloud of oil instead of it just rotating with the crank----

Been doin' some chassis dyno stuff--at least they have some big fans---
here the damn parts washer makes heat, humitity faster than a/c can offset it--

weather correction factor for the dyno numbers is pretty wide--------

when I was real young---Tractor Supply was the speed shop for tractors----pistons / sleeves +.125----also discovered that pistons for propane engines was higher compression and used a lot of them---plus started using later model cranks in earlier tractors to gain 1/2 stroke
