well in post 167, i believe, he stated he was running 167psi. i am no engine builder, but if the carbs are set up for stock compression then the carbs are his problem. he should have adusted them or rejetted them for the higher compression. if i am wrong some one please correct me.

I'll correct you. Compression increases do not require carb rejetting. (Unless they involve race gas)

I think a positive seller feedback is in order, something along these lines: "I bought an engine from wydopen, and even when I blew it a couple of weeks later, he paid for half of the repair costs. I am sure when I blow it next time, he will pay again. A+++++++". :biggthumpup:

that meat-head is making us REAL engineers look like idiots
doesnt matter how smart you are, if you are a d!ck and get off on insulting people, you wont get far in this world:loser:

oh, and I have "only" a BS in ChE, but over 20 years of industry experience, my PE license, dozens of other State certifications . . . . . .

you go get your PhD- you will be overqualified for anything but working in academia making a lot less than those of us in the real world

:haha:

Wydopen, I was thinking about getting a second 701 for my SJ as kind of a backup. I noticed that you offer a warranty on your motors. Could you please give me the warranty details?

Wydopen,

I don't believe you owe this guy anything. In my admittedly limited experience (I'm my husband's personal mechanic groupie) it looked like detonation to me. I believe Kaveman and DangerBoy can easily be considered experts and they appear to have NO doubt that it was detonation.

That said, I greatly respect you for still following through on paying for half the repairs. Kudos to you and a free brownie/cookie any time we ride together.

:woot:

RideIt: NO cookies or brownies for you. You have been a bad boy! You MUST learn to be nice to people and treat them with respect. You did NOT give respect from the beginning and it is biting you back now. Take your UNDESERVED money from a decent guy and drop it forever.

That's exactly right. Academia is virtually the ONLY place that will hire a PhD with no experience.

Weird I have family members that went and got PhDs with no job experience in a couple fields one being chemical engineering and they both are making over 250k. I dont pay for school so there arent any loans. I just pay for books. Thats the deal. I always planned to be a teacher eventually. Staff at my school are well paid.

Don't be so sure about your PhD being the holy grail of superiority. Going straight through makes you an overeducated and vastly underexperienced conceited know-it-all. No matter what you think you know, if you don't have years of experience to put with your advanced degrees then you don't really know crap except for book knowledge. Even worse, you don't know that you don't know crap. You're not going to get a PhD and instantly be full of money and have people working for you. Not a chance. You'll have no real job experience and most importantly, you'll have NO management experience.

Well said Garrett, I agree 100% I was pushed very hard to go for a PhD when I completed my masters, but I felt very strongly that that wasn't the best course for me if I wanted to go into business. That was one of the best decisions I've made, and my hunch as been proven to me over and over, by meeting highly successful people without much of an education, and almost completely useless PhDs.

I work in the high tech business, and there's a very common theme in companies: they get founded by PhDs with bright ideas, and then driven into the ground because they don't know how to grow and run a business. The very few smart ones realize this and hire some more experienced people to build a real company. The dumb ones (by far the majority) go out of business quickly. Nobody ends up working for anyone with a PhD, that's a fallacy. PhDs end up working for experienced, talented business leaders.

It's like those annoying brats who go to business school right out of college and come into a company thinking they know everything: they're disruptive and worthless. If you're going to go to b-school, then get 5 to 10 years experience under your belt first so it's actually useful.

RideIt - please take some advice. I was you once - straight A student, stellar performer. I won all the prizes, won places in the best schools. I have a masters in physics from Oxford and could have a PhD if I'd wanted to. You know how important any of that is now? You know how much of that got me to be Chief Technology Officer in my company? None, nada, zilch. I got where I am by making mistakes, learning better ways to do things, working hard, and through some innate talent. Don't be an education snob - I bet you're the type who actually thinks that an IQ rating is useful.

Here's my warning: if you carry on with your attitude you're going to be a very bitter 40-year old, because you're going to look around in astonishment at all the less educated people who are much more successful than you. It's a horrible thing, and I hope you wake up soon enough to avoid it.

OK folks, that is what a piston and cylinder look like from the effects of Detonation. the ring colapsing and and catching the port was a side effect (in this case) as a hole was burned thru the piston,

also the exhaust port on that cylinder has NOT been widened, as such very little port chamfer is required (although I prefer more)

this motor failed in my opinion from detonation, could have been lean on the carbs, air leak , too low an octane fuel, old fuel ect.

Why does this bug me ?? "middle aged redneck" haha

I just read this whole damn post.. I agree.. its deto ! It also might have had the timming advanced to far and ran great untill held wide open.. Pistons dont melt from a stuck ring.. they seize.. now a melted piston will loose a ring pin..

Also do you know how I chamfer my ports ? Emery cloth !! really.
