I'm in here on occasion and providing comment to people needing correct tech info on a few subjects. I'm always willing to assist people needing help and who are willing to listen, learn, and ask questions.
On that note, I'm also not putting up with idiots any longer. I fully intend to call the guys who are technical incompetents shooting their mouths off with bad and technically wrong advice (yes, there are a few of those here). These idiots have managed to chase away a large number of very good technical people from this Forum, leaving only a small hard-core technical group left. Nobody needs to put up with that, and I'm not going to have those people giving bad advice to people who need correct information. The BS'ers are going to get a BS flag thrown from me without hesitation.Lars

Glad you came back Lars!

Hi
Great to see you back on this forum, Lars. You where never completely lost as you could be found on other forums, but still great to see you here again.
And I prefer getting a bull**** flag from you if I am on the wrong track rather than being left alone wrong . So don't hesitate.

I know what you mean about idiots. On another forum, a horse's butt, allegedly an engineer with a BS, Masters, and working on his PhD, all at the age of 23, told me that using 35* total timing would cause my engine to self distruct. When I called him on it, he shrank into the woodwork. He is still on that forum, handing out bad advice. When the more knowledge members call him on something, he doesn't respond.
It bothers me that wanna be jerks like this may lead newer, less experienced people, into trouble. Sort of like my, thankfully, long gone 'buddy', DB.
Throw the flag when you have to. Everyone will benefit, except the unreasonable idiot.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Much appreciated.
On a similar note, I know that there are a lot of people out there who hesitate to throw their questions out in a public forum. For those wanting a one-on-one tech interchange I'm always available on e-mail at

Nice to see Jim Shea recognized above - Jim and Cindy were just by the workshop and bar last night - they drove out from Michigan to say hello, have a few drinks in the workshop bar, fire up the test engine, and have some dinner. Always great having technical authorities stop by!

Yes, it is a sham that many good Corvette people have been chased away. I'm not always the most competent but willing to listen and learn and have loved Corvettes all my life. You and a few others like Jim Shea, Motorhead and more just name a few are very valuable in the maintenance of Corvettes and engine building. I do find it hard at times to ignore the Jack A$$e$ who argue just to argue and claim that something that you know has worked does not work. The same people seem to focus on a few just to satisfy their need to cause problems. I don’t blame you in the way you have felt. I find my self just reading through many of the post and not responding just to avoid the conflict.

Thanks Lars. I've followed lots of your advice in the past and it's always worked out rather well for me. I've also saved some of your tech papers on my hard drive for easy reference. Most of us realize the valuable resources we have on this forum but there are always folks who want to show off and act like they know something even if they don't. I just don't understand that........ It takes all kinds I guess. Anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience on this forum.
