    What engine

    Wally No confusion......the information was passed on to me from Richie Zuhl when I was doing the Toroidal Heads and he was inquiring about them, because he was using the QJ 36 mm cylinder head with an inserted chamber, since one can not tell if it is a 26 or a 30.5 cc by just looking at it and...

    What engine

    Hi Wally-.....any accusations are facts that was left out of the post.....sorta like all the recent speed records you have done and posted and talked about not once have you mentioned or even disclose the truth of the VP fuel you have been using, which it has more of the oxygenated chemicals...

    What engine

    To mention that QD does not have any interest nor time to get into the flow and detail work with their engines is not the case, since they built their engines for the masses with the least amount of required maintenance and the most power and reliability for the cost so all could enjoy. ...

    NAMBA Elections

    There is no problem just for me it is for every NAMBA member! All I asked is how is it possible to have an honest result in a 2 day time frame....and as for Robert that decided not to oversee the elections process to make sure it is fair regardless if he is running or not raises other concerns...

    NAMBA Elections

    David what is your point?....you were sugar coating everything and complaining about being attacked as the messenger while you were on the phone with me this morning....not any real concern to me just your demeanor as if this question was a joke of some kind and it just shows everyone that when...

    NAMBA Elections

    Just an FYI: David Santistevan (NAMBA's IT guy) called me 30 minutes ago and discussed on the phone my question of the time frame and the professional way the elections' results was handled and argued about what I posted was unnecessary and I really didn't appreciate him hanging up on me in...

    NAMBA Elections

    Instead of passing the buck by requesting that others should be calling Al Waters and posting what they comprehend or interpreted from the conversation - Al Waters should be the one responding to this thread personally?...at least by now I am sure he has been aware of what is being asked and the...

    NAMBA Elections

    How is it even possible to honestly announce the NAMBA election results for District 3 when the mail-in entry ballots that were post marked on 10/24/15 and mailed from the east coast of the US (Florida) and sent to the west coast of the US (California) and as well be counted in two days...

    Engine Failure

    Yeah your right! your pigeon cheese game at it again we all were talking about con rod pin bearing assemblies, then you come here and you wanted to talk about main crank bearings that are a full compliment which you did not design, however made from another bearing and Greg Settles did the...

    Engine Failure

    David- You stated that all Large CMB RS engines use full compliment needle bearings on the rods...you left out some information and facts that you are talking about a nitro engine (16cc max) which are the smallest of all the CMB Engines that are large in the RS series and the Large RS series are...

    Engine Failure

    There is less friction with a ball bearing due to the contact area compared to a needle bearing and the needle bearing can carry more of a load and as a full compliment needle bearing it will have the highest skewing, sliding and heat generated compared to a properly caged needle assembly or a...

    Engine Failure

    David- I remember the crankshaft case bearing you showed me within the last year, however this thread discussion is about the connecting rod and the connecting rod's piston pin and crankshaft pin bearings, otherwise if the topic was about bearings in general the crankcase bearing that Greg...

    Engine Failure

    The stock crank pin bearing in any of these engines which rpms are sustained at 18k+-19k+ rpms even with a slotted rod is surviving on the outer limits of reality and borrowed time. Increasing the oil to 16 ozs per US gallon will help the longevity and of course pitted bearing races from water...
