    Even Number of Spokes bad???

    It wouldn't? no...i was just bored and wanted to throw out a theory for the only comprehensible and slightly reasonable reason for anyone to say odd spokes are better. no performance advantage. never thought there could be unless one is more aerodynamic than the next.

    Even Number of Spokes bad???

    The only thing I can come up with (this is just my spur-of-the-moment theory) is that having spokes directly opposite one another could contribute to flexing and hinder even distribution of loads....but not much. I would be MUCH more concerned with build quality and thorough testing, along with...

    better gas mileage?

    so more on shutting down cylinders. is it hard to just cut 2 cylinders of the 6 when you don't need them or do you have do rework something more? i've been thinking about getting a smaller car. maybe even a geo...if only they weren't so damned ugly... and they kinda look dangerous too. :(

    small problem....

    I had to helicoil a few exhaust studs with the head bolted down. that was a bit of a pain but its doable. The annoying part was believing the engine shop when they said it's rare to strip out an exhaust stud. its utter bullshit, especially for an aluminum 7m head. I first practiced on a...

    Should I stay away from this 7M engine?

    sounds like you have a cool plan. I'd like to become a welder...i'm not lined up for it but it sounds fun and rewarding. good luck. I'd love to have a dummy engine to mess with on an engine stand... no money or time though.

    Should I stay away from this 7M engine?

    i like that idea, and yeah if you recycle that aluminum head and maybe some other parts i bet you could make most of your money back. if its a weekend toy project or a learning experience I say ask if he'll take 150 and go for it. :) I just didn't know what you wanted it for. I'd be weary...

    Should I stay away from this 7M engine?

    ask him why he tore it down in the first place. otherwise; it's a GE.... it's far away and you'll be driving an engine-hauling vehicle for about 8 hours. take your shit MPG and the current gas prices, do the math, and add that to your engine price. Figure in the price of a rebuild. You'll...

    Slim in radiator...i feel a BHG coming upon.

    I have been told that green coolants can have chemicals that can corrode our aluminum heads. Thus toyota red which is safe for our cars. I wouldn't use green if I were you. you never took your car to a quickie-lube type place did you? I could see some dipshit dumping oil in your overflow...
