Uh oh...here it goes...Wait for it....

Hey Randy.. I like the stickers you put on Tish's car :smilie_da :smilie_da That should add 10Hp per side. :lol_hitti

Hahaha... there's no use here... people don't understand the wonder of the epitrochoid.

They're fine, as long as you don't let it overheat. It's not that hard a concept.

As opposed to other engines that you let it overheat? :loser:

:lol_hitti

Good call. Let me know when you're done.

Ya, well she took off one of the stickers so I guess it's only adding 10hp:lol_hitti

At least most other engines will survive over heating.

Thats true... but do they survive over-revving? :smokin:

That's why you listen and feel for the power band to finish, and don't over rev. I've never blown a motor. Yet.

hmmm....im not even gonna bother!

I agree, it would be nice to have an engine slow enough that you can feel it fall out of the power band, but for those of us that don't drive VWs, we don't have this luxury!

I was talking about over revving by misshifting. I've never done this yet, but I know there are people who accidentally go into 3rd instead of 5th from 4th gear. With the rotary, you don't have to worry about floating a valve and having your piston tops introduce themselves to your valves...

Yeah, well, I've missed a shift or 2, however, I caught it in time. Never done the 4th to 3rd though. Seen it done though.
I've seen the damage a VW 16v motor can do through valve float, and it's generally terminal, or at least very expensive. I've got a 16v head here, that for some reason is missing a few valves, :dunno: but fortunatley I got it for free, for the block.

I got four GTcars.ca stickers on my sunflower but its still slow as ...
