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!

Contrary to popular belief, the damage to this rod and pin are not from a trip to the flame cabinet of the torture chamber (located directly below us, by the way), but from an engine trying to push water instead of fuel.  Splashing around in water and mud are a fun pastime, until that water is sucked into your engine. Parts designed to squeeze lightweight air don't last long when asked to squeeze water.

...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..."
