I do understand. I still work for the entity that owned Octel before we sold it in 1997. I said whether it makes a difference or not, I do not know. And neither do you. It’s not a massive change volume or mass-wise, but it doesn’t have to be to make a big performance change. That’s just...

Dear Pinecone: Each of the other components increase as a percentage when you take one of them out. I’m too tired from work to explain it, but happy to do so later. Whether or not the changes make a significant difference to the valve issue, I do not know. Best Regards, 455 Buick

No sir. Different percent and mass per volume if you pull the TEL out.

Are you saying light detonation can possibly cause valve seat sinking? Without curling a top half rod bearing or breaking rings, or other havoc first? I never hear or read about that as an effect of detonation, but sounds like an interesting theory. Upon quick search, there are about 2 dozen...

I’ll suggest that the UND test was n=1, statistically speaking. It’s not statistically valid, unless the engine makes, models, age of cylinder head manufacture (materials, suppliers, assembly) are varied. UND likely doesn’t have cylinder heads on their engines that are older or of different...

I’ve done bacon on the grill a few times. If the grill is full of grease, it’ll be prone to major flare ups that make this infeasible. Otherwise it’s an easy mess-free way to do it. I lay out strips, not whole.

I wonder the difference in -200 vs -550 cubic inch engines due to engine rotating assembly inertia too. Massive rods, pistons, and crank vs teeny.

Whatcha flying with that IO-470F? Guessing it’s cool (though one would say all airplanes are cool). How about a picture…please?

It’s all codified in Part 134.5

That was very cool. Landed at KSIV about an hour before totality. Half dozen planes there. Pretty chill. No biggie from an air traffic standpoint (no flight following). I was worried about having to do a flyover to check for full ramp or getting told on CTAF to stay away.

So for slow cooker, if no sous vide or smoker, crock pot is just fine. You could do the same on the stove with low simmer. You’re basically braising the meat. Good cuts for braising are those with a tough reputation, stuff that has tendons or a lot of connective tissue. Go slow for 5-8...

Was thinking of a flight to KSIV, but NOTAMS look like purposeful discouragement? No fuel 4/6-4/8, and only 1 month of taxiway & apron construction and construction adjacent to runway. What kind of construction only takes a month? I’ll call in the morning and see what they say. Figured a...

Crock pot? Smoker? Oven? Which cut of beef?
