Ok, seems like you can not leave it at that:

I deleted my posting after you had quoted - intentionally - no intention "to make it look like it never happened." Got it? And on other threads, deleted my posting because I was throwing pearls at swines! Real waste of my breath!

Some on the forum with white collar background, after a few years of ramblings, gradually forgot himself, starting to have hair on their chest I think!

I know my position and will not pretend to be a Graphic Artist and "try" to help potential graphic artist out there.

But as a mechanic or on metal trades - different story, I can set you up and draw you out.

Awww, I knew you couldn't bring yourself to put me on your ignore list.
I swear I can read a post of yours over and over again and still not know what the hell your talking about. That's never happened to me before. Your special!

"Your special!" Thank you! I "certainly" know a thing or two around mechanical toys and don't rely on shops to deal with mechanical mishaps.

What was that you said in the other thread?

"And BTW, with over 4000 posts I try to help answer questions here as much as I can. I'm not here to please you. So yeah, if you don't like it please put me on ignore and I'll ignore you as well." - Wow, over 4000 posts - are they suppose to mean something?

Now......who is stepping back in to start another fire? What is this - grade school?

---

Living my second childhood, giving me plenty of time to watch a wet behind the ears white collar type, trying to "answer questions". I have read your answers since 10/11/2010.

Enough said.

Aloha.

Keep reading, you may learn something new. It's still possible even for old people like you. I have over 200 PMs from members here asking for help and thanking me for doing so. It would be my pleasure to add you to the list. All you need to do is ask. Until then I'm done with you.

On your other assumption, you're right crap settles at the bottom of the oil pan. But it won't flow out if you drain the oil cold, forming sludge over time. That's why oil has to be hot (with all the 'crap' in suspension) in order to get rid of that . You don't have to drain oil scalding hot, but don't wait 3 hours either. Hope this helps.

Simple version: oils are thicker when cold, thinner when hot. Multi-viscosity oils simply thicken less when cold (while maintaining their running-temp thickness) than do single-viscosity oils.

Thank you gents for both your inputs!

I do understand the basic relationship of cold/hot oil + a little more.

The internet is full of great ideas and then some are not no great, just throw a buches of "Food for thought" bait out here for fishing.

Very interesting, it brings out the true colors of many interesting people. Revealing some are analytical and the other proven half a$$ types.

^^^Came back twice for the bait. Still don't get it!

----

You don't know me. How do you know what my basic understanding is on anything?

----

Checked your profile, as an inspector by profession, I can understand, every thing is non deviation.

But believe what you like with my baits, I am here for a laugh and I've gotten plenty with a certain audience - its like winding up a pack of animal with their prey drive - very entertaining.

In the back of my mind, think came across with you once, like with a little negative attitude on my post also. Doesn't matter, I normally treat that like water rolling off the back of a duck.

In your first post, first you came across harsh, then tapered off and tried to educate me. Nonetheless, the unsettled undercurrent was there. ^^^^That response was the conformation.

I didn't have to try very hard to word my "Food For Thoughts" to draw out pry drive for some here on this forum. I did similar but different subject on the Honda forum but much quicker response from a much bigger and younger audience. A slower and fewer response on this forum is basically due to a more mature audience, but still normal display of human nature.

Why am I doing this, bored.

My last project was dealing with passive engine heat:





with three responses from Type A personality along with one half baked know it all type, it is losing steam. Oh, well, what to do??!!

----

Since I put in the new MGW/new Shift box, I just gonna make this with titanium:



Then further improve my catch can mods from these to something else:





Then change the mounting bar for the coil relocation setup to G10 Micarta:



How come I am bored, actually, this basically don't know nothing person got lots of things to do!! Leading a few victims with their nose is getting bored!!
