joe,dont bother answering this guy as i said before,you cant fix stupid,he has no correct info ,maybe he is friends with you know who,that would explain his ignorance.

This guy comes in here bustin your balls because you smoked a piston in a 1200HP engine. Yet He somehow managed to F' up a 480HP 502 crate engine. Unreal.

and for the record,i have never ported a cylinder head in my life,i send them out.the jelousy runnith over

Another useful post Mike..

Problem is you guys can dish the sh!t out but can't take the heat...

And one other thing if you glance at your gauges when your running the piss out of the equipment and see a drop in fuel pressure that's a sign to SHUT IT DOWN!!!! That will in most cases prevent a melt down if your paying attention...

thanks for your words of wisdom,but i really dont need your useless ideas

No jealousy here my friend!!! I don't claim to know engines and if I have problems I'm gonna ask questions, because I do wrench on them on occasion!!!

USELESS IDEA'S could have saved you from tearing down the Shadetree 1200's!! Do you have the dyno sheets for these engines you build? Do use any other carbs besides the quick fuels?

Is there any proof from anyone other than your compadres that can back up these 120mph speeds that have been thrown out there?

You know it's guy's like you 3 Amigo's that drive everyone away from these awesome forum boards.. Like I said think before you speak, and everyone will be happy and hopefully find the answers that they came here for in the first place..

Me?? Out of almost 3500 posts, probably 90% of them have been me attempting to help another oso member out. I have shared countless emails, pm's, and phone calls with other members, lending a hand. I have sold and bought many items without a single issue in 7 years here, and made many friends.

Please do not include me in this situation, stemming from another thread, one in which I did not participate in.

Whats it gonna be MT first its several pistons each engine now it's just one piston, then its faulty gauges, then fuel pressure.. I think this could have all been avoided by either reading the plugs or installing bungs for the sensors to read the AFR's..

Pick one story and stick with it!!!!
