    no knock sensor!

    Keep in mind the written word can come across in a completely different way (attitude wise) than the sender intended. See it all the time in e-mail. That's one of the problems with a forum...the way the post "hits" you. A knowledgeable guy with a lot of experience may come across that way...

    without ks!

    I was going to stay out of this, but can no longer stand it. I've read many, many posts here and on SF...one thing is very consistent, you hear the following comments: "I've read somewhere..." "I've heard..." "My buddy told me..." What we have in these cases is hearsay...plain and...

    Both posts was one of the nicest use of applying what you've learned I've seen in a while. Well done! And good luck on your test, but I don't think you doing well will have anything to do with luck :biglaugh:

    Polishing the compressor housing

    :icon_bigg Thanks Jet PM sent...I've done a bunch of these. One of the best parts on the motor to get coated due to the heat generated...along with the manifold, heat shields, downpipe. Just got finished doing a turbine snail for drjonez
