Welcome to the Powroll Tech Guru's Hall
of Shame, and the second day of our tour. I am Igor, your tour
guide. Everyone please stay together. |
| "We have entered our
second exhibit hall. Will the last person through the door please
close it? The hounds don't appreciate drafts.
The
first item you will see is truly an awful sight. This once-beautiful
example of four stroke engineering and performance has sadly been turned
into the pile of junk displayed before you."
The following conversation was heard
within the engine immediately preceding the carnage:
Knock knock. Who's there?
Rev Limiter. Rev limiter who?
Bang!
"Engines talk to us all the
time. Those who listen, finish races. Those who play deaf, DNF!"
|
 |
| Our next exhibit is entitled
"Yes Tommy, gasoline IS flammable."
Fuel leaks are always a smart thing to
fix, before they fix you! |
 |
| This last item on today's
tour is another visual example of what NOT to do to an engine!
Detonation (or 'Engine Knock' as it
is more commonly called) is not the harmless annoyance most think it
is. Detonation causes bad things to happen to good
parts!
Contrary to popular belief, the damage
to this rod and pin are not from a trip to the torture chamber (located
directly below us, by the way), but from detonation. Next time
you hear your engine knocking, remember this poor rod and feed your beast
some higher octane fuel! |
 |
| "...This concludes today's
portion of our tour. You are welcome to spend the night and continue
with us tomorrow.
Those of you who wish to leave can do so
by the same door you entered through...oh, yes, it does appear that the
hounds have decided to sleep directly in front of it. Well, that
does present a problem, doesn't it? Well, unless you wish to wake
the dogs, I believe we're all staying! The master is simply dying to
meet you. Or is it the other way around? This way please..."
