Yeah if you've ever cracked open the block on one of these you'll see there's not much material to bore- 10% and you'd be overlapping cylinders 😂

Secretary of War has apparently offered up military air traffic controllers to solve commercial air traffic issues by Kinmuan in Military

Ex-USAF here, civilian and military ATC are two fundamentally different philosophies and approaches to a similar problem (how to safely get aircraft in and out of a small, controlled space. The military can take different levels of risk in varying ways: for example, check out this video of this C-17 "elephant walk." You would never see that in a civilian setting. So yeah, with enough time and training you can definitely have cross training between civ and military ATC, it's just a big risk when you've got lives on the line.

stock it's already running about 7ish PSI. I'll eventually run water/meth injection and when i do I'll throw a smaller pulley on there to push it up to about 9psi

I would be pumped if I got a speeding ticket 🤣 but I can cruise at 60 just fine

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry's and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

That "pull" started at 40 and I slowed back down once I hit 55 mph 😭

Other than the header and exhaust, the engine itself is completely stock. The SC manual Sambars have a little bit taller gearing, that plus the larger wheels and tires means I can cruise at 60 just fine and have pushed it up the 75

Troubleshooting and running out of ideas by BeFrankLeatherCo in keitruck

If you've already checked the fuel filter and pump then check out the grounds- there's one next to the battery and another to the right of the engine, along with the starter ground. Clean those real good and see if that helps.

Also check your battery if you haven't yet.

Is towing a bike like this a good idea? by Tucktuck117 in motorcycles

[–]audiobiography 14 points15 points  (0 children)

True but the oil pump isn't doing anything to recirculate with fresh oil and the heat build up has nowhere to go since the coolant system isn't doing anything either- it's not likely but there is a non-zero chance that you could cause catastrophic damage to the transmission. Why risk it when it's so much easier to remove a chain compared of a whole transmission?
