The truth about squishband.

The angle of the plug in it is actually not too bad.
But the fact that it takes a 3/8" reach plug is garbage.

Most of the better plugs that are available use 1/2" reach or better.

You woulda thought someone with so much experience woulda done differently.

You get the puch head it's better and only cost $30.00.

Higher quality and cheaper price.

I'll try to post pics of your engine teardown today.

But i'm sure the vandals will tag it.

This is getting to be like gang warefare.
 
Keep things on topic!

I went through and deleted a bunch of utter garbage from this tread. That's what it was - utter garbage. Let's get this thread back on topic and leave it that way. I don't want to see any more flaming, personal attacks or any other nonsense. If you have a problem with something someone is saying, take it to PM or to a Moderator if need be, but don't clutter up the board with garbage. Clear?

no problem boss... crystal clear.
 
It seems that's the way things work on forums, not just motored bikes.

Some people just lack confidence in their lives and need to reinforce their ego on a forum where they can do so without any ramifications for direct personal attacks or detraction's to the person on the receiving end.

Others don't have a life or any friends and have the need to feel important.
Still others may just like a good game of fisty-cuffs (whilst being protected by anonymity) without the worry of someone turning up on their doorstep with a baseball bat, demanding verbatim repetition of their online verbiage.

There's so many psychological aspects that float around on the whirlpool of internet chat mediums and they attract the best and worst aspects of the human condition.

There's nothing so humorous though as two people with a frightening level of intellectual fortitude slugging it out with cutting personal attacks on each others character or even worse, their intelligence; makes for very entertaining reading.

But i do agree with the moderators for cutting out the rubbish when it comes to people trying to develop a product or service and others are playing a game of subterfuge, either to suit their own interests or prevent any form of recognition and commercialisation of intellectual property.

Now back to the topic - the truth about squishband

Here ya go:

http://www.nkn.com/articles/squish.pdf

This engine builder recommends a minimum of .025"-.03".

This is based on an Aluminum alloy connecting rod...which will stretch considerably more than the heat treated 8620 steel rod in the China engine.

There is nothing wrong with using a 3/8" reach plug...if they were garbage the engineers at NGK would recommend that the company stop manufacturing them.

This is an engine that I manufacture for a race team...The engine uses BB Chevy Aluminum Rods from Howards.

Included below are photos of the Billet heads and valve covers I make for this engine.

I also make the Cam blanks, and machine the raw castings for the block and covers.
