Arco gas?

you should have bothered to look that up earlier before shooting your
mouth off.

rubbish - read the next chapter. the only stretch that matters is that
between the crank and the cam, the tight side. the rest of it can take
an excursion back up through the drivers side door column, around the
trunk and back down the local high street for all it matters to cam timing.

1, it's not a derivative so any "instant" thing is a red herring.
2. see above for relevance of the slack side.

bottom line, don't blow smoke up my kilt steve - i hate seeing grown men
grovel on their knees.

 

Draw yourself a picture, you'll eventually see the important difference.
What matters is where you let the slack ACCUMULATE. You never want
that on the tension side.

You really are clueless. It MATTERS which of the chain or belt runs you
PUT the increasing slack in!! If you don't see why its silly to put the
accumulated slack in the side that DETERMINES the timing, there's no
hope in explaining it.

On cam-in-block engines....

On OHC engines. Just like I said from day 1.

So you think the engine custom-built for the INDY RACING LEAGUE,
contains an engineering decision made on basis of MARKET APPEAL?

This discussion is over. Its obviously been useless for days, but now
its over.

 

dude, you need to go back to school and do basic trig over again.

let me repeat:
"if you want to compensate for chain stretch, if you increase the
length of run by the same degree as the chain stretches. end of story."

if you read that enough times, and read your engineering books and do
your trig homework, you might eventually get a clue.

of course! what part of irl using "production-based, normally-aspirated
engines" is hard to understand?

if you'd bothered to get a clue, maybe you wouldn't have been making
such an ass of yourself.

 

So he can continue to provide us with a cheaper alternative to lining
the pockets of
Bush & Cheney's friends?

 

Since when does Venezuela own Arco?

 

Whatever. Citgo is the state-owned oil company of Venezuela not Arco. Arco
is a subsidiary of BP. They all suck.

 

Ain't CITGO the Chavez brand?

Besides, oil prices are set by speculators and hysteria.

Time to invoke some taut Texas rope...

Venezuela doesn't, the British crown does. BP bought Atlantic Richfield in
'00.

 

It's your mind, fool.

Here's an idea: have someone else fill up the car, but don't tell you
what's in it.

You have fooled yourself into believing that "premium gas" equals
"better" and so you THINK the car "feels slightly better".

You, sir, are a fuel marketer's dream customer.[/QUOTE]

I like the way you tell him to perform an objective test and then
comment as though you, for one, have already made up your mind. Guess
you didn't notice the contradiction there, ey?

I actually tried the experiment once. Felt better on premium, though
admittedly the difference was small and only really noticeable when
starting to accelerate from a complete stop.
