An Interesting 'Q&A'

Post by autogear »

Now, I'm not an engine builder by trade, but I find some of Jamora's (Isky's R&D) comments interesting. Posting this purely as an interesting read.

That was an interesting read. Most of it was what I found actually building engines, with maybe the exception of rod ratios.

His philosophy on LCA is also the opposite of David Vizard's.
Felix, qui potuit rerum cognscere causas.

Happy is he who can discover the cause of things.

Is Nolan Jamora Jumbo's son or grandson, or some other relation? They look a lot alike.


Jumbo used to race at Lions in the mid 60's and had a badass Chevelle.

I noticed that and found it interesting, along with StatSystems' comment on rod ratio. One of my buddies paid a lot of money for upgraded valvetrain and a 4/7 swap. He's convinced its some sort of black magic and recommends it to everyone (ugh...seriously, everyone). Although, considering the $$ he spent, he probably thinks it solves ancient riddles involving the Fibonacci Sequence). I pray he never finds this article. LOL
