I like the trunk to be full of junk and real big headlights and a light frame don't care what color paint as long as it can handle my rod I'm happy. 4cyls are children, v6s are early teens/puberty, v8s are grown and sexy, v10s are milfs lol, v12s that sexy old granny you see every so often lol I don't pay attention to 4cyls or v6s. I married a v8. I may turn her into a v10 or 12 over time, yea fuck maintenance, I want it to leak lol

To check the oil, you have to insert your dipstick in towards the very rear of the motor.

Well that's usually the transmission fluid, and sometimes it can be difficult to check that. If your real good you can even check it while your running that engine... Sometimes you don't get a good result though.

I'm currently working on a twin engine set-up. I just need to figure out how to crank them both up at the same time. If I get the timing wrong though, there could be some major backfire and I'll be left having to find one of those rentals to get me by...

Also, even though its a good engine, i get bored and like to swap them every now and then.

Anyone try one of those exotic Asian Engines? I've always wanted one...
Their turbo's usually run too small.

And it can get competitive when you take them to a show.
Everyone else is showing off their rides some are real bangers & some have a huge lump up front & you've got others bitchin about how their ride is better than yours, which can turn into a street fight to prove your dominance.

My last one ran on alcohol, had a beautiful exhaust tone(moaning) at Redline (climax) and usually ended our ride with a wet spot on the floor(squirter). It's funny though because once you get them broken in and running right they usually start acting up. Tell you what though, once you have to fork over money for rings you'd better think about investing in a new engine because things start getting expensive quick and the down time on the motor adds up, then you get buyers remorse. When that time comes I look for crate motors, the kind that haven't been cranked over yet. You gotta start from scratch with the mods though, however they are new enough motors not to know any better or complain on any rear-end work or facia work you end up doing on them.

When you go to pick one up, it may take a while and a lot of money for the first crank over.

But after that, it's some smooth running for a while. Until the ring replacements come. Then the engine is going on Garage queen duty, IE never running again.

Some guys enjoy it more when they watch someone else give it hell.
