As a bonus you get leg..

Who says I don't? Plus it's a different one very time since I avoid relationships like the plague. :D

As far as cooking goes, I buy almost every meal, and just drop my laundry off at the cleaners. In the end it's cheaper. I was married for almost 20 years and don't plan on doing it again.

I like to cook and invite a special friend over for "dinner". I do the regular cleaning myself, but I hire a cleaning lady for the B-S jobs . Windows and sills, ceiling fans that type of stuff.

Got the new motor on my go kart and took it for a ride sans air filter as I don't have one yet, and throttling it by hand freerunner style. It'll freaking RUN and I haven't even set the timing for alcohol yet. I have to go get the rest of my daughters stuff tomorrow so I'll see if I can round up an air filter and new throttle cable. I'm thrilled already as it runs better at this point than it ever has and I can't wait to crank some timing to it and let 'er eat.

Out with the old, in with the new.

It's going to be nice tomorrow, and since I didn't have any karting oil and I wanted to ride my go kart, I decided to just use automotive A/C oil since both are poly alkaline glycol. So far so good. We'll see how it lasts. My neighbor and I have ran a 79cc doodlebug engine at WOT/ no load for a full 3 minutes with no damage on maple syrup, so I think it'll be ok.

Ever use Valvoline's VR oil?
We use in the alky dragster. Even after a few races it is slicker than snot. It's good stuff IMO.
They only have 2 flavors though, 20/50 and straight 50.

I haven't, we'll not personally anyway. I've tuned a few nitrous cars using it for others, but I didn't mess with the oil part of it. These were on gasoline though. I'm just going to order a good supply of karting oil since I need it for my briggs anyway and it'll get nothing other than the top of the line products.

My Briggs is due for an oil change. Thought about the VR in it. I put some in my ironhead sporty and noticed a big difference right away. It kicked over easier stone cold too.
I've only really seen it in the alky motor. It holds up well even after being emulsified with methonol. I'd like to give it a real world try in gas engines for a while.
I'll let you know how the kart likes it or not later.

I've seen what Pennzoil does. Yuck.

Not yet. I blew it up again. Tearing it apart now to see what gave. No holes in the block this time anyway. I'm pretty sure the rod broke as I was screaming the living pi$$ out of it. Pics to come.

Next time give us a heads up.
I want to make a betting pool for how long it will take you to break!

Dropped the intake valve and it reinstalled itself right next to the valve seat. Now that my 14cc honda head is toast I guess it's time for a big valve 14cc head, arc rod, and 308 cam. Gonna try to build it to last this time.
