I should paint my FC's engine pink couple months ago ! now it's in the car running so it's too late. Grrrrr :(

Next time ! next time ! when I rebuild my 8's engine (not anytime soon tho, LOL) I should make it Red,Orange, Yellow, Pink and Purple, 1 for each housing/iron. perfect Engine ! WEEEEEE !

wow, those "1337 Cyro-treated seals" are completely junk, OEM OR CERAMICS ! WEEE!

how come you didnt tell me that before:D:

^it will be ok man ;)

I thought you were getting OEM seals from the get go man!

Thats what atkins sent me, OEM cryo treated seals.

Oh well, at least we all learned some new shit!

nycgps 07-29-2012 11:50 AM

no point paying extra for cyro treating the OEM seals, all factory seal tip is already harden and that's all it needs (Mazda did explain why in one of their papers)

Again, Ceramics or OEM ! :lol:

Yea I know they are heat treated and have harder tips, but the whole seal being cryo treated means I can run 50 psi of bewst.

WATCH MEEHHH DEWW IT! LOLOL

Says the man who would trade a direct injection system for a carburettor! :cwm27:

olddragger 08-01-2012 10:18 AM

an angry bird carburetor anytime! They are awesome........

On a little more serious note---with all the front bearing wear I have seen in multiple engines I do wonder some times if we may need some type of harmonic balancer?

bse50 08-01-2012 10:50 AM

We see more rear bearing wear here.
Short trips...

houstonrx8er 08-01-2012 11:18 AM

its amazing how big a game like angry birds has become....just shows the amount of down time people have and they dont fill it with value added activities like RX8 club....ugh....humanity :(

Chino_rx3 08-09-2012 09:40 PM

Bro 8 days I'm sure you have done a lot ? I'm sure you are ahead of me lol

shadycrew31 08-09-2012 11:51 PM
