I had this cylinder bored by Taylor automotive in town, i wish they had told me it didn't clean up and not just finished it and give it back, this bad patch will trash the piston
Nah. send it. it'll be fiiiine. Piston will polish that smoothish.
What's the angle on the chamfer on the lip of the port tho? Looks a bit brisk?

Pretty easy to do, given there's apparently only 4 of them. Maybe their internet spanner was goofing off browsing OldSchool that day, and didn't notice the gap in torque results

Keen, will confirm. I may even have a socket set with BritUNCworth something or others. Will cheerfully rewire to -ve earth for proper Brit electron handling.

I have a battery for the GSX-1100G, and a carb kit, and have had the seat repaired.
But I goofed, and dropped it off the front stand and have bent the disc/carrier. I have possibly correct new discs here, but will have to sort disc carrier / carb balancing.
Maybe later in summer

Shitty old teranos and things parking in EV charging parks seems to be a point of pride for the owners. Assholes.
Find his local gassy, and fill it with EVs slow charging

Roman's 4GR V6 Carina discussion thread
in Project Discussion

I was musing as I went for a walk this AM. Terrible idea, which results in terrible ideas. Perhaps you do that too, and maybe can you tag your morning musings something like #RomanDayfMorningMusings for retrospective LoLs pls?
Anyways, I was pondering your 1NZ piston failure, and realised, it may have been when you shut off the throttle at high rpm, because less air-cushion, and intuitively I'd guess that high silicone pistons have less ductile / tension strength, resulting in them parting as they go over the crest, like a youtuber tesla and Cali hill roads?
So: what if you never shut off the throttle (air barrier) completely, [or at all], and so at prodigiously high rpms, there was always a gas cushion helping the piston crown stay attached to the gudgeon knuckle. Just retard / fuel cut in ecu as needed.
Added bonus, anti-lag pops/banging and massive heat at idle, for fast warmups for club racing / drags.
(actually this is all just a sneaky move for car solidarity, because the Dai has a head gasket leak, and on hot days the idle climbs, and it sits there popping and banging like a group B rally car)
Bring back anti-lag! (even on n/a cars!)
