thats an interesting technique...... i seenfolks with mates like that over the years ;D
-
i think they should really have run it through a filter of some kind first.
wadda U think?
;)

Dickheads! this method is far more abrasive if you remove the engine oil first! ::)

na being 'chipped ' i reackon it went to boost, thats what killed it, he should never have gone to boost, it was all going to plan...........
although i once tried diluted ajax in my old smokey galant and fuc me it did stop it smoking long enough to sell it :O)

When they where giving out BRAINS they stood in the train que.

No one could be that stupid. Its gotta be a joke.

Theory and application are two VERY different things...

Hahahahahahaha.
! dead audi ;D

did dumber and dumber get a car :D

Hey you lot - That post didn't have April Ist attached to it did. Those fools couldn't be f#*&^# serious? Something tells me they were, so here we go, more chlorine for the gene pool, lmfao!!!

LMAO, a friend of mine actually left some paper shop towels in his CZ400 airbox....he went on to pull start the bike with a buddy's car at the track. Never ran right. so he pulled the pipe and found the towels disentigrated in the header.
We pulled the top end and it was clean, and I mean clean. We found no damage at all-put back together and he races it for another two years before the rod I warned about went out.

:D Stew, maybe they thought the brains were milkshakes and asked for a really thick one! :D
even if this isn't true it's a great story! ;) The paper towel idea sounds good in theory too! ;D

I can almost believe it!
Back in the 70's when I did my electrical apprenticeship with a mining company, we had too spend some of our time in the with the fitters/machinists in the company machine shop, and were normally given the crap job too do.
One of these jobs was seating/bedding/matching up rotor for large air turbine winched (40hp motors). Anyway the procedure was bassically to put bearing blue on one rotor, assembly the motor, turn it over a few times, strip it and find the high spots on the teeth of the opposite rotor. You then filed the high spot with a very fine mill file and repeated the process until you had a good contact over the entire rotor "tooth". This took days at time too get a set of rotors matched. I was doing this job, and a new junior engineer came up too me saying it was too labour intensive, and rekoned that by putting find grinding paste in oil and feeding this through the motor would lap the rotors far quicker. So, being the apprentice I did this with his supervision. After several days, and untold sets of bearings we got nowhere. It all ended when the workshop engineer found out what was going on and procedded to rip shreds of the junior engineer for being so stupid.
Proof that even engineers have stupid ideas, but then we all know that from some of the wonderfull design feature on our bikes!

I worked at Caterpillar for 15 years and during my apprentiship one of our projects was to restore for display (cosmetically) an old stationary engine that had'nt run for 50 years or so, with an output of 38hp but it was the size of a Barina!!. We figured that we should go further and actually get it to run. It was fitted with a "donkey" engine which you had to crank into life and then clutch that into the main engine to get her started. it took us a week and we had the bugger running, then after a few hours we got bored and knowing it would never run again decided to test the old reliabillty !! we threw nuts washers and anything else we could find into the intake and she just kept chuggin along never skipped a beat, I recon we musta chucked, a kilo or so of hardware into it and it did'nt flintch.

At Bathurst many moons ago it was said that a race motor was 'bedded in' after a saturday night rebuild by putting Ajax into the oil :o :o .
Truth, rumour, urban myth, 'pysch out' or Harry Firth 'leg pulling' the commentary team I don't know ::) ;) :).

i read somewhere an old school engine rebuilding tip (hotrods) was to use toothpaste as cam lubricant.

i have seen bon ami used on oil burners :o
you put some on a tablespoon and
hold it over carb while running and
let it get drawn into motor never seemed to work
once a guy stuck a whole can down carb :o
it rooted motor got in oil went through
everything forked crank cam head bore etc etc
ha ha what a dickhead i still remember him
he was a real tool ;D
