Synthetic oil is no match for my oil-burning engine.

My Super Uber Build Part 0

/title has win

So the first two days I was being a girl and driving the engine worrying about it every time I went over 3k rpm.

There was concern over the way the engine was performing... primarily it was smoking. Well, after bugging the **** out of both Toms and successfully getting my number blocked and also having held a very informative conversation with Chris... Thank you guys...

I gave the throttle some love. Which appears to be finally breaking in the engine and setting the rings. Car starts much smoother, a little bit of smoke when still cold... no smoke when at operating temperature. Running N/A the cylinders see very low pressure and as such it takes extra to set those Chrome-moly rings.

*sigh* It has been a hell of a roller coaster ride with this car...

Pictures:

Whenever Two Toms are in the same place... Nuclear engines get built


Moments before going in....

It's NIIIIICE!

I love blue, but I think I might be turning a bit green... with a touch of envy.

Your hair is blurred too Tom.

I'm wondering if there is deep significance to this.

He is of course, he seems relaxed since he finished his tasks.

On the other hand... you look stressed and sweaty

Kick him out??

Check the background! Tom is part of the scenery. They have to find him to kick him out. He blends in so well.

I was outside all day at the races... either watching Bart explode my car or working the course... it was great weather and I haven't really been outside all summer because I work all the time
