Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no!! I am keeping it open to see what other cool responces I get, I aint no chicken, lol.

 

I wanted to put something else that would have bumped it over 500character so i took it out, plus i completly missunderstood the orginal post which i have no problem admitting, people make mistakes which i did, N4cer thanks for setting this thread strait

 

Glad to see your character LS1Impulse.

Thanks for not taking offense to my sarcasm, LS1Impulse.

 

Thats beutiful..........were not gonna start kissing now are we??

 

Lol! This **** is funny. LS1impulse.....I can understand now why you responded like that. Yeah.....if I knew someone was trying to use wooden dowels in place of pushrods....I would think they were nuts too.


I'll give $5 to the first person brave enough to try that.

 

i personally wouldnt feel comfortable using wooden dowels to hold up the lifters, so my last cam swap i bought 5-6ft of 5/16 brake line for 4 bucks... cut it in half and was ready to go.

 

I'd make this quote my sig if I knew how. this thread rocks!!!!

 

wow, this thread delivers. Wooded pushords? lol Funny.

 

Who's up for trying some plastic connecting rods?

 

Damn...I didnt even pick up on that. That would explain JITSUMANIA's reply.

What a laugh this has been.

And I'll try those plastic connecting rods on my new Tupperware pistons.

 

i kinda started to question myslef when fratsit put the post up about them sliding in and out jsut fine, but the next post down I put "pushrods" to make sure of myself, i guess N4cer finally caught it.

oh yeah, give the new aluminum Foil driveshaft a try while your testing parts, i heard its real tough

 

Actually, I belive they DID try plastic *composite* pistons at one time (or was it heads? I read so much garbage on the net, I forget whats what), but, while they held the power, they still melted.... or something to that effect. Then, they were looking at ceramics.... hmmm.... they are trying!!

 

So im thinking maybe we could hollow out a dowel and use it as a fuel rail? What does everyone think?

 

sounds good to me, as long as it is lighter, gotta move foward with technology you know.

I was also thinking of removing the double roller chain and tieing up some cloths line in its place. The cetrifugal weight savings would HAVE to net me at least 10hp!?

 

im thinking we should drop this thread before to many people see my dumb@ss post at the beggining of it

 

Hey man, no big deal, just ride it out, it will be forgotten soon enough, but, you got me thinking and I do have a few more ideas on weight savings and parts replacements. Lets just and work it through

 

has any one else used the brake lines to hold the lifters up? Sounds like a good idea to me (I'm cheap but not cheap enough to shove wood dowels into my motor to hold up the lifters)
