carlthess40 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Omg you don't want to do that. They look great and it's the best was to tell that each cylinder is burning at the same temperature and helps with putting the right jets in your carbs and what plugs to use, or when a spark plug is going bad or if you have a to cold or hot plug in one of the cylinders . Most if not all air cooled inline 4 cylinder engines should use colder plugs on the two outside cylinders and the inside two should use a hotter plug. The outside cylinders get better cooling and so on. FYI.

Woofers and Tweeters Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 No, I didn't. I seen the race from a week ago where Rossi lead the whole race, then was passed on the last few laps. Are their injuries from crashing together or..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 No, Rossi broke his leg trying at his home, Cal cut his finger at home being mister mom, he severed a tendon and required surgery, but plans on racing this weekend.

Are the Camaros listed in reverse order of ownership? Whatever possessed you to go from a Z/28 to a K-car; a very nice K-car, but still a fwd K-car? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
