If you think a video of you pounding a piston in an engine with a brass hammer, while making excuses for your harbor freight ring compressor, in your backyard shed is a promo for your engine building "business" more power to you.
FYI, talking bad about everything that is not your's has never been a good business practice

4bus you did give him a promo for his talented engine building "business" because I did Google "MotorsbyShooter" and watched his very entertaining video on how to adjust valves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYYR1GDqUg

Not sure yet. All depends on work travel. Tokyo this month. Germany next month. We'll see about November, but I hope to be riding with Sommerfliesby on his newly delivered 37AT.

Really is more than a shame what happened to that beautiful boat.

Anyone remember Polesmoler making the statement "if you use any of the big name engine builders you are just over paying for the name" I wouldn't let this guy touch my lawn mower

This guy is something else, it's one thing to do it as a hobby, but he is a so called business, and jumps through hoops to talk crap about every other engine builder on the planet, even the big names

I didnt know I could not use stock flat tappets with a bigger cam or they would push right up out of the block!! LOL
Oops...no oil on the pushrods before he put em in.... simple things can make big difference....
boy I'm glad I build my own chit.....
And apparently dropping parts/tools in engine is ok... WOW
I have to watch these now...glad it's rainy today haha
