Hey FB was that you driving by? The Budwiser tassting room was moved to Europe. The largest McDonalds spans the highway in Oklahoma, I think. So the most popular tourist site in Missouri would be Kansas!  No really, I think it's Bass Pro Shop Geo |

Midget, Requesting clarification for: How many Illinois Governors in prison? Do you wish for the current number currently incarcerated? (2; George Ryan & Rod ["the mod"] Blagojevich) OR... How many TOTAL, have served time in prison? (since 1970 Illinois has had 8 Governors, 4 of which have been convicted of various crimes and have served or are serving time in prison. During the period 1921-1969, at least 2 other Governors were charged with crimes, but aquitted....... too bad......) MOVE OVER LOUISIANA YOU ARE NOW IN SECOND PLACE!!!!Nota Bene: Current flaming political rhetoric suggests that the current Wisconsin Governor will be idicted shortly after the June 5, 2012 Recall election........ Could there be a possible change in second place?? F/B |

Midget, et all, AND THE WINNER OF F/B TRAVEL JEOPARDY IS: Geo!!!!!! 1 Bass Pro Shops World Headquarters & 1st Retail Superstore, Springfield, MO 4 million visitors annually 2 Gateway Arch National Monument, St. Louis, MO 2 million visitors annually Not sure what it says about our country, but I stopped @ Bass Pro & skipped the Arch!! FINAL JEOPARDY & EXTRA CREDIT FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO TRY: What was the most common road kill sighted in Missouri & Oklahoma? F/B P.S. Should have stopped @ Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis for the brewery tour........AND FREE TASTING!! But, overcome by the desire to return home. |

Midget, Effective rocker ratios from my "chicken scratch" notes: (reply #1149) Intake: 1.547/1 (.508" net lift + .018" lash = .526" valve lift/.340" cam lift) Use 1.55/1 for calculations Exhaust: 1.526/1 (.499" net lift + .020" lash = .519" valve lift/.340" cam lift) Use 1.53/1 for calculations Will try out my ultrasonic checker later today. F/B |

If my trip to Iowa this last weekend is any clue, I'd have to say grilled venison or possum - combine the two, makes an interesting sausage for your gravy and biscuits.
Seems that infection that has afflicted Springfield has seen an outbreak in Madison, but there have been isolated cases for years - and truth be told, it seems to target everyone.
No party is inoculated, but the cleanest group was Mayor Zeidler's in Milwaukee in the 1950's.
FB, - I've got the water pump, the head, and the cam in the trunk of the MGB - should I make a border run tonight, or are you still resettling back in to your routine?

Armadillos are rapidly gaining population in MO. I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear that Armadillo was the most frequently road-killed animal across MO and Okla.

Midget, As per our conversation of this morning: You need to make 2 inter-related choices, How much compression can you gain, AND, still fit adequate valve lift to allow the head to flow enough air to meet (or better yet, exceed) cylinder demand. This is the problem of compromise engineering........... Like I keep saying: "It's complicated." ENGINE PARTS SLAPPED TOGETHER IN COMBINATIONS THAT DO NOT MEET FLOW DEMAND NEVER REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL FOR BHP.This is the point where a "good" model or simulation helps. You can model C/R's @ various lift amounts to make an intelligent choice about this and the cam timing required to make it all work. Or at least "eliminate" the "bad" choices from consideration. And it's faster than cut & try, much cheaper too. Digging through my records (BMC & Ford 1.0L & 1.1L) for any bits of information that might be helpful to the cause. Looking forward to your visit. Fordboy |
