Here I go again!
I got my new set of blower pistons from Keith Black today. That's the good news, the bad news is they are a couple of grams lighter than the old SRP's so the motor will have to be completly re balanced now. Should have known it wouldn't be that easy and cheap

A weighty subject

I will keep you updated guys, and I DO have Zuse fasterners on the body, which I just had to replace by the way cause they were getting worn out an the springs broke on the self ejecting part of several of them, on the front section by the way. Ummmm.

You gave me an idea. $10,000 would pay for 1,000 men for one hour at $10 per hour (unskilled workers). If each man could push with a force of 50 pounds, they could generate 50,000 pounds of force for one hour. According to Newton, a 50,000 pound force acting on a 3,000 pound object with negligible friction would accelerate at a rate of (32.2 ft/sec/sec x 50,000/3,000) or 536.7 ft/sec/sec. Such an object would reach 536.7 ft/sec (365.9 MPH) in one second and cover a quarter mile in about 2.22 seconds. Even doubling the time to allow for frictional losses, those 1,000 men could provide enough force for more than 720 quarter mile runs. So, perhaps you should consider throwing your money at car pushers rather than engine parts.
