    Reliability?

    probably fine as they usually loosen up anyways (thats why you do a retorque after 500 miles) FYI: You CAN'T replace the stock headbolts one by one with studs as they won't screw in all the way. You need to clean the threads out and then get them to go in all the way...

    BF2 (or SF, or the other expansions) ET:QW RO wanna know probably THE most insainly fun game to play? Bouncy Q3A weapons don't do damage, they just knock you back, so you win by throwing people off the edge (or beating them against walls, but it's not as fun)

    no, valve float kills power low compression = crap power at the point of valve float it will stop making power, so there is no reason to get up there in the RPM's unless it's fixed

    Supramania Dedicated Game Server? (Choose the game!)

    no version of windows currently can use more than 2GB of RAM. It doesn't even adress it like it's there. That's why vista sucks, it uses WAY too much RAM just running the OS... Also, a little known thing about STEAM, games run FASTER when downloaded through steam because they're packed...

    When truck drivers suck, they REALLY suck.

    lol I try to be nice to truckers, and they usually do the same for me. Funniest thing I've ever seen was an unloading rig (could tell by the way he was able to accelerate and move) was going at least 10 over. I'm smart and get out of the way. Idiot mexican (no flames) in his slammed...

    One Time Smoke Screen - Explain this : /

    leaking valve stem seals will just fill the ports up with tons of carbon and not really do much else... though supposedly oil in the combustion chamber lowers the octane rating, so don't blow it up from that. just watch the oil level...
