Why do people keep trying to draw similarities between a street driven engines and 9000-10,000 RPM nascar engines. They are both internal combustion engines, that's it, the similarities stop there.
Almost any design feature in a nascar engine is not relevant to a street driven car. It's almost like comparing a diesel to a gas engine. Diesels use full dish too, and they even have a cone in the middle, maybe we should try that?

Diesel is slow speed and maybe you're on to something in comparison to a street engine !?
Please ignore the mention of a race engine series because I am not comparing Jeff's engine to those. I thought that part was more clear ?

Mark Jones asked me "where's the rust". I responded by posting the pictures in Post 1114 above.
