I'm not a priest bro. I don't even go to church. That's not a requirement.

Also make sure your top end and bottom end are tight before spraying or you may be rebuilding sooner than expected.

The irony is that your screen name says it all MonkeyBoy. The bible prophecies contain insights into todays world that could not have been conceived of when the scriptures were passed down, but obviously you can believe what you want.

Thanks NYUK. Anyone who has seen your dragbike knows that it's the baddest bike on this site...I have a pic of it on my computer somewhere. rus-CCCP-sia, the bible is 66 books written by God's prophets (both men and women) and a few other inspired people of God. As I wrote in another thread, the bible is about 1/3 prophecy, most of which has already been fulfilled by historical events that occured AFTER carbon dated proof of scripture origin. Those who study and can understand the prophecies of the book of Daniel can see that the current stage of international affairs in this world is rapidly evolving toward fulfillment of these final prophecies. We are being led to the end but I do not believe that the people who are leading us are right. I believe that nobody is right except for God. A more humane and advanced society could control population through means of birth control, and then World Wars and genocide would not be necessary. The problem is stupid people who give birth to MULTIPLE children without even knowing how they are going to support them, and who have no moral foundation to even raise a kid right in the first place. Those who have the financial means and the wisdom to do so, I hope they have a 100 kids. Even the most lost and troubled of us have a saviour in Jesus. Except for Jesus Christ, there is no salvation in the flesh. Anyway, now I'm just rambling I guess.

Torque is what gets you down the track. Take a torque wrench for example. Set it for 100 ft lbs...if you choke up on the handle you might not be able to hit the torque mark but if you get out on the end of the handle you have more leverage and it is easy. A stroker crank has the crank pin located at a point of greater leverage. A stock stroke 115mm long rod crank has no torque advantage over a 110mm short rod crank (stock). On strokers that are larger than 4mm, a long rod increases reliability by decreasing the maximum rod angle which causes piston and bore wear due to angular force. The increased reliability of a long rod is less of a factor on stock stroke and 4mm's because the rod angle is not that excessive. More stroke = more rod angle..

PTT, ellison, NYUK...my apology is as an olive branch from my flourishing tree of ignorance. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. The kings's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame. When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips but the just shall come out of trouble. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto council is wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. When a mans ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. The heart of the righteous study to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

If the cases look like they were "notched" by someone, and it looks like good clean machine work, it was done to enable clearance for a 7mm stroker crank or bigger. If yours isn't a big stroker crank, at one time those cases were home to one.

Good answer. I would just add that the jetting is actually quite simple on a stock banshee motor, and it will hit really reliablely. The draw back of nitrous is that you can't really tune the motor for max performance OFF of the bottle (higher comp. and ign. timing) without running into reliability issues on the bottle. Bigger shots on a stock setup will put you with or in front of most draggers but I wouldn't go bigger than a #24 nitrous jet on stock pistons. Oh yeah, if you are running a stock swingarm, be ready for the launch or the bike will take off without you.

Word. Thanks bansheeryder_69 .

Yeah I know I said I wasn't going to post in this thread again but I HAVE TO SAY I'M SORRY...I suck Thanks for the wake up call guys. I have faith but I have a LOT to learn about wisdom and understanding. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer

You know what PTT, your right. But if it wasn't for God I would be a full blown ass clown like you and smellison. Do you want to know the secret of God smellison? It's this simple. I don't like the ass clown side of me...at all, but you LIVE to be an assclown. Anyways, you guys can swing on because I'm out of this thread for good. See ya wouldn't want'...yeah you know the rest chumps.

Give the man a lttle poetic justice smellison. Your the ass clown. Why do you got jump in and rip all the time you nut sac swinger? Get a life.

Pecos? Franks? Lira? Rubels? It SOUNDS like you paid too much but I'm not really sure what currency were dealing with here, let alone the conversion factor. R- for rubels? I like that word...rubels.

There you go rallying your troops again...get a clue dude. What is with all this "pushing beliefs" bullshit. I'm not "pushing", I'm sharing just like the bible says that you should, and I'm not the one who turned this topic in that direction. You may call yourself a Christian but then you would know that the bible says that a house divided against itself will not stand, so why are you attacking the Christian messanger? You are not helping. YOU are the one who is being the asshole. I simply said that you are not obligated to love those who wrong you...I will show you that from the bible when I get home from work. And once again, bottom line is that me taking shit from other people is not going to make people think "hmmm, maybe I want to be a Christian too".

I'll disregard your comment PTT, because of all the people on this board, it is clear to me that you, more than any other, are the biggest post whore-band wagon jumper on'r, nut sac swinging, go with the majority because you can't think for your self kind of guy. Christians are like anyone else PTT...you still have up's and down's in your life and you can still be offended when you are disrespected...just like you feel right now. Do unto others as they do unto you...therefore if you want to come in here with what is essentially no more than personal attacks, I'm going to give it right back to you. Jesus said "love your neighbor as you love yourself". He was then asked by one of His disciples how they should know who their neighbor is and Jesus explained that your neighbor is the person who does you right. The person who wrongs you, is not your neighbor. Let me know if you want me to quote it directly from the bible and I will, but it seems like people get really worked up when I do that. Me taking shit from other people is not going to make people think "hmmm, maybe I want to be a Christian too so I can be a pussy who puts up with peoples shit and get's walked on all the time". You do me right, and your my neighbor...you do me wrong and your NOT my neighbor. Do you want me to show you that from the bible?

Whoa...plenty of room it looks like but their bunched up a little tight there Next time spread out a little and go with the wide angle lens Dex. I hate to use the word spread after looking at that pic.

You believe in electricity don't you? You can't see that. You believe that there is an invisible force present between magnetic poles don't you? You can't see that. You believe that I and everyone else have thoughts in our head don't you?. You can't see them and you don't know what they are, but it's a safe bet we are all thinking about something. You believe that the universe is infinite in it's expanse don't you? It's impossible to conceive of an infinite universe, but it is equally impossible to conceive that the universe is inside of a bubble...what would be on the outside of the bubble?... yet you do not doubt that the universe exists do you? Faith is easy if you think about it. You should put your faith in something though. I highly recommend Jesus. Also, if you think about the "beginning" you have to conclude either A: Everything was created from nothing, or B: that the universe has ALWAYS existed. The problem with B: is that it assumes that time goes backwards for infinite. It is basic mathematical principle that if that were true, necessarily EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING has ALREADY OCCURED. That means that I am you and you are me...and in some perfect dimension, we are ALL PERFECT BEINGS. Either way, don't be afraid to have a little faith.

Just because you believe in God doesn't mean that you have to take shit from some asshole. So what was your point anyway nyuk? Some part of you is lost and troubled...thats why you get so upset when someone starts talking about God. I accepted Jesus when I was about 10 years old, so I don't know what all of your stupid comments about "trauma" or drug addiction are all about, but you have a very very narrow and stereo typed view of people with faith. The subject in this thread turned to a discussion about God. I didn't turn it in that direction, I just came in with my opinion. I gave a little information about the fact that ultimately, in the beginning, "something" came from "nothing". I also noted that it has been proven that time is relative and does not exist in all realms of reality. I then gave a little information from the Bible, for those who were interested. If you weren't interested thats fine, but I don't know why you need to attack the messenger. And by the way, I don't have to stoop to your level because we are on the same level...both human and both sinners. Accepting that you are a sinner just means humbling yourself and accepting that you are not perfect like Jesus. And finally, nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You got to believe in foolish miracles. ozzy- It's not foolish though. The bible is approximately 1/3 prophecy. Most of it has already been fulfilled by historical events that occured AFTER carbon dated proof of scripture origin. The stage is currently set in this world for the fulfillment of the rest of bible prophecy. Anyway, if you wanted to participate in the discussion with something intelligent that would have been fine, but you only brought personal attacks and put downs. Like deuce said, if you want to believe that your dad took a shit and you evolved from that, good for you, but there are just as many assholes that believe in God as assholes who don't...so what's your point? The only legitimate positions to be taken in this thread are God vs. atheism or if you want to defend the position that someones daughter or little sister should be sexually exploited, I guess you can argue that. Your slanderous attacks however are pointless. Do some research and come up with something intelligent or stfu.

NYUK NYUK NYUK, well since you want to personally attack me, your the wacko dude. Look at that stupid ass tatoo you got...you got a BOYS name scrawled across your back. I don't care to hear the significance of it either...it's still wacked out and gay imo. You have proudly displayed your level of stupidity for all to see. Chump.

Dude you are wacked out something crazy, "my man". Talk about stereotyping. The fact is you atheists would LIKE to think that there is no God. That is what comforts you...well good for you. Atheism is the simplest of all death concepts to grasp, and death will allow you to escape from EVERYTHING. Good luck. However, all human "sensors" indicate that there is something more. If you guys were so sure about yourself, you wouldn't get so worked up and jelous over those of us (the majority of people on this planet) who confess faith in God. Anyway, no one is "forcing" anything on you. Take it or leave it. Come on over if you like, while there is still time...or don't. Your choice. .

Some people in this thread started ripping on a kid's faith in God. That ain't right. God set the record straight through Deuce and I. Check the last page. I didn't condemn any other religions. I said justification by faith. God works in mysterious ways. "The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass: and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?" However, to believe that our physical bodies will ever travel near light speed, or pass through the necessarily crushing gravitational forces of a "worm hole", is to fall for the lies of the devil. Thank God for the wonders of His creation. That is done with a seed of faith. Wallrat said that 99.99% of people don't care about this (or any) subject. The fact is that atheists represent a minority in this world. Most people believe in God. Einstein believed in God, but you atheists are probably smarter than Einstein huh? The bible says that a fool says in his heart that there is no God. Either way, faith is found and nurtured in the heart (spirit), not in the mind. We all have the ability to seek and find God, and that is the "purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth". If you say there IS a God, you WILL ultimately find Him. For now, you will have humble gratitude, but eventually God will take you home.

So then it is a case of what came first the chicken or the egg. What was there before the big bang? There must have been something. And where did that come from? Bottom line is "something" came from "nothing". Aside from all of human experience and various phenomena which point to God, we have the Word of God. In fact the Bible says that "in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God." God's Almighty conciousness is the source of all existence. Understand that you cannot bear fruit without the vine. God's plan in the bible is based upon justification by faith which is in Christ Jesus the Lamb of God. The bible says that He suffered and atoned for ALL of our sins. All of our sins heaped on God in the flesh, as His mercy is as great as his justness, making himself the TRUE VINE, and only through Him is it possible to bear fruit, by faith which is in Him.

Right on Deuce. Our "evolutionary" time scale is nothing relative to God's perspective. Eisteins theory of special relativity has proven that if a craft could travel at near the speed of light and made a 60yr round trip journey, it would return to earth to find that 5,000,000 years had passed. Luckily the concious energy of God is massless because math has also shown that the fuel requirements, given the mass of our temporary bodies and the theoretical 3 dimensional craft, even if one could anihalate and extract energy from matter at 100% efficiency, would not be feasable in a fuel/payload analysis. Moreover it is estimated that for every square kilometer of outer space there are at least 100,000 particles (ice or mineral) that are 1/10 of a gram or larger. Specs of dust essentially but math has shown that if the theoretical craft, traveling at just 1/10 the speed of light, were to hit a particle that is only 1/10 of a gram, the resultant energy of impact would be equivalent to 9 tons of TNT. The point is that time is relative. This is God's creation. What was the universe BEFORE the "big bang"? That's right you don't know. Ultimately "something" must have been created from "nothing". Since we don't know, should we declare that nothing is real? No. It makes much more sense to declare that God is real. You need to humble yourself before the creator if you want a part in His future creation. Therefore if time is relative...we evolve as God planned...human moral conciousness dawns on man i.e. Adam is born...and from there we have the word of God, the bible. The book of Genesis says that Adam and Eve bore 2 Sons, Able and Cain (think allegorically). Both made an offering to God. God was pleased with Ables offering because it was made with humble gratitude. God was displeased with Cains offering because it was not offered with humble gratitude. Cain became jelous and lured his brother into the field and killed him. God asked Cain what happened to his brother. Here was Cain's chance to tell the truth and repent but instead he said "How should I know, am I my brothers keeper?" God then made Cain depart from His presence and gave Adam and Eve another son named Seth, in whom God was pleased. The bible goes on to explain that the seed of the earth is mixed as the sons and daughters of Cain joined with the sons and daughters of Seth over the ages, but that God will harvest what he has sown and seperate the fruit from the vine, and that his Word will do the work of this seperation. Cain was a farmer and Able a herder. Was God telling us that the seed of Cain covets the earth and will kill his own flesh and blood for it? The new age "mother earth" worshippers think it is their manifest destiny to reclaim the earth from the perils of man, even if it means genocide. There are a lot of forces at work right now that are working to foment the end of the "age". The deciding factor in God's plan though is justification by faith. Justification by faith. Start with a seed of faith and then seek and you shall find. God will not forsake you if you believe in Him. Think about it. God built this world. God made all of this happen. It's wonderful don't you think?

Oh it didn't happen to me. I just ran across it on the web and thought it was kind of funny . I can't believe the dude had it towed to the shop and paid to have a couple of spark plugs installed though .

Hey Crackhead Reply to: [email protected] Date: Sat Mar 27 15:36:01 2004 Yes, you. You sick fucker. On Wednesday morning I emerged from my girlfriend's building by U.N. Plaza to find that you had sawed the tops off both the sparkplugs on my motorcycle. At the time, I had no idea why anyone would do that. Other than the sparkplugs, the bike was untouched. Some kind of bizarre vandalism? A fraternity prank gone awry? I had no idea. All I knew is that I looked like a huge douchebag riding the Muni to work in a padded motorcycle jacket and helmet. Because the bike was immobilized I got a $35 street sweeping ticket that night. Thursday I had it towed to the shop ($45) where they replaced the sparkplugs and the boots ($50 including labor). They explained to me that "people" - I use the term loosely here - like you break off the tops of spark plugs and use the porcelain tubes to smoke crack. As an engineer and former MacGyver fan, in a way I think this is kind of cool. But then I remember that I just paid $100 for YOUR crackpipes, and I get angry again. Crackhead, it was really good to have my bike back though. I rode home from the shop with a couple of spare sparkplugs and a smile on my face. I figured the next time I parked at my girlfriend's place overnight I would have to buy some crackpipes and tape them to my bike as a peace offering. Overall, I wasn't that upset. Despite having to ride the bus for three days and dropping a hundred bones at the shop, I had gained some fascinating knowledge, a new set of sparkplugs, and a pretty funny anecdote about how fucked up you are, and how our paths once crossed briefly in the night. But you couldn't just let sleeping dogs lie, could you Crackhead. You couldn't just stay in on Friday, watch Letterman through the window of a home electronics store and then call it a night. You couldn't rest on your laurels. Two porcelain sparkplug crackpipes just wasn't enough for you, was it Crackhead? You just had to come back for more. This morning, a scant fifteen hours after I rode it out of the shop, I found my motorcycle violated once again. This time you only took the right one - maybe you were having an off night. At least this time I had a spare sparkplug and the tools to fix it - or so I thought - having ordered a 73-piece toolset from SEARS.com last week. But no, the sparkplug socket in my new toolset was for American sparkplugs. So I had to go down to the neighborhood Ace hardware. They had an 18mm socket that would fit over my sparkplug, but it was for a 1/2" drive ratchet. My toolkit only has 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets. So I had to buy a 1/2" ratchet along with the socket. Even though the clerk took pity on me and gave me the senior citizen discount (I'm 25) it still cost me $22 all told. Now, you might say that I should have just gotten a 3/8"-to-1/2" drive adaptor instead of springing for the whole ratchet. And to that I say "Shut the hell up, Crackhead, I'm not finished. And besides, I was eventually going to buy a 1/2" ratchet anyway so it's probably not worth it to take it back now." OK, now I'm rambling. But the point is, Crackhead, that you have done me wrong. Now, I get that you love crack. That is totally understandable. I've heard it is really fun, at first, and quite addictive. What I don't understand is, YOU ARE A CRACKHEAD. WHY DON'T YOU OWN A CRACKPIPE? I am an engineer. Do you ever see me shaking down bums in the Loin for a calculator and sliderule? No, you don't. Because engineering is the main thing I do, I went and bought myself a calculator. The main thing you do is crack. How do you get by without a crackpipe? The other crackheads must clown on you non-stop. I mean, the fucking saw you used to saw off my sparkplugs is probably worth five or ten bucks. Why not sell or trade it for a crackpipe? You really haven't put much thought into this, have you? Please, Crackhead, please don't tell me you sold your crackpipe to buy crack. Even a stupid crackhead such as yourself couldn't possibly be that stupid. I've decided that taping crackpipes to my motorcycle would be tantamount to appeasement. You have crossed a line, Crackhead - specifically California Street. You have come onto my own street and you have desecrated that which I hold dear. You have stolen from me, and you have caused me to spend the last half hour writing this post instead of engineering shit, and it is concievable, if not likely, that my boss could find out about this and fire me. I am hella pissed at you dude. Here are my options as I see them: 1. Write a note saying that I have coated both of my sparkplugs in rat poison and tape it to my bike at night. You can thank Tim for that one, it was his idea. 2. Don't write a note, but just coat both sparkplugs in rat poison. This is probably closer to a punishment that would fit your despicable crime. I'm sure this is super illegal and shit, but it's not like anyone is going to miss you, Crackhead. Don't fool yourself. 3. Wait in an alley near my bike armed with my new stainless steel mirror-finish Ace Professional brand 1/2" drive socket wrench, my 18mm sparkplug socket, and my searing rage. It's pretty heavy and well balanced. I am not a large man, but I am angry. In conclusion, Crackhead, why don't you just do both of us a favor and buy yourself a crackpipe? It will both enhance your crack smoking experience and save me a lot of time and felony assault charges. Think about it. Sincerely, Matt
