well, excuuuuse me...I was repeating what the service guy told me...Im not a mechanic, apparently you all know more than I about this so I'll sit back and read [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
Tony, it wasn't anything you were saying or doing that I or anyone else was responding to or commenting in. The response was to what was unfortunately poor advice given you by a tech.
One of the benefits of an open forum such as this is the ability to bounce ideas off of others. I've found that to be especially helpful on more than one occasion when I've wondered about something that I knew I wasn't familiar enough with to make a satisfactory judgement on. Also, just something to consider, why would you post something on a discussion forum and then eithe expect it not to be discussed or be upset if it was? You weren't being flamed in any way. You were, instead, being extended the courtesy of other men taking the time to discuss an issue for your benefit and, seeminly, at your request.
Really Tony, none of my comments (nor from what I could read anyone else's) were in any way intended to speak poorly of or condescendingly to you. They were instead just part of what is the standard type of disucssion around here. That discussion, in this case, was intended to be for your benefit. This is so because it really is the case that someone suggesting compression releases for an engine with the compression ratios that ours run is giving you advice that is expensive, incorrect, and permanently and unnecessarily damaging to the cylinder heads.
That's the kind of thing you should want to know. That's why you'd start a discussion such as that on a board such as this. And that's why those of us responding would take the time to discuss it for you and with you.
