620 L20B CAUSES OF ENGINE SEIZURE?

[wayno]

What's your problem Mike, are you really so much better than the rest of us that you spew this shit.

Never heard it called that, course I speak English not the misunderstood mumblings of a grade three red neck shade tree '30s garage mechanic to his apprentice who passed it on to his apprentice. Look it up in a dictionary and not google. Like I said, words come and go and often their meaning changes from misunderstandings or continued wrong similar sound usage. It's obvious that galley is a basterdized, lazy, complacent and ignorant use of the word gallery.

 

[datzenmike]

Not spewing or arguing. The correct word is gallery and you know it.

All that effort and you spelled "bastardized" wrong.

[datzenmike]

I'm trying to change it's use. Too many Tarantino movies. Not arguing that.

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

I loathe how an interloper can call industry professionals "grade three red neck shade tree '30s garage mechanic". Thanks Mike.

 

Since you speak English, why don't you piss off and stop insulting those of us who do this for a living.

[thisismatt]

It couldn't possibly be because a galley is a long, narrow ship, and a galley kitchen is a long, narrow kitchen, like a long, narrow oil passage...

[datzenmike]

A galley is not defined solely by being long and narrow. A gallery is.

I didn't, by definition a "grade three red neck shade tree '30s garage mechanic" is not an industry professional, is he? I said that's probably where it came from. You said it's been in use for seven decades. Not by professionals. Why would today's industry professionals who are meticulous in detail and measurements use such poor and inaccurate jargon to describe their work?  If I said... "that's prolly where it came from" what would you think? 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

What I am saying is that I have been working in the automotive industry on the engine and drivetrain side for 30 years. I am neither 3rd grade nor am I shade tree. I was trained by professionals at the top level of their market who were educated and very meticulous. Not arguing the use of the word here, but your characterization of my kind as uneducated and less than professional.

 

Vernacular, there's an English word. It means common speak adapted over time.

 

Throughout history, words change their meaning all the time. If galley was not the proper word to use at the time, and whose to say because I certainly was not there, it became the proper word through it's decades of usage...by professionals, not shade tree hacks.

 

Passive aggressive, there's another term you may be familiar with. Pick a fight and then say you didn't start it. Toddlers do that. Are you a toddler?

 

Or how about troll?

 

Go get a fucking job and stop haranguing us with your vast knowledge of the English language.

[datzenmike]

Geesus, never said that. Read the part several posts back where I said it was probably started by "the misunderstood mumblings of a grade three red neck shade tree '30s garage mechanic to his apprentice who passed it on to his apprentice. " Why so bent? You know the better word is gallery and a vernacular is not as accurate or universally known. I've seen it used several time here and it looks like what it is, a misspelling of gallery. 

 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

You misspelled Jesus.

 

Or is that some sort of Canadian vernacular?

[thisismatt]

You guys want to see my sweet oil gallery?

 

[datzenmike]

 

 

 

What do you know?? I found a picture of a Greek oil galley. Course all they had back then was olive oil. Maybe there's something to this.

[G-Duax]

Hm, does olive oil have a good anti-wear additive package, or would I have to add zinc ?

 

I have used castor oil in two strokes because it has very high film strength.

But will gum up the rings, and leave a sticky mess on the engine fins.

Also promotes loose bowl syndrome on your competitors who follow too close, and breath the smoke.

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

I run a mix of blenzall and redline in my kids' 2 strokes, and yes, I hate the smell.

 

For some reason, I have fond memories of the smell from when we used to race karts.

[G-Duax]

The best smelling kart exhaust is from castor & methanol.

The rules for fuel in karts way back when was gas, or open fuel.

It's all the other stuff people mixed with methanol that gave me brain damage...

Formation lap was the worst, you had to be able to hold your breath, and squint to keep your lungs & eyes from burning.

If I ever get time to finish it, I will post pictures of my dual 100cc kart.

Nothing provokes a memory like a smell. Fresh cut warm hay or manure and I'm 8 again it's summer holidays on the farm.

Yeah, giving it up the ass to the yearling goat...

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Now that we're civil again, I totally agree. Certain smells, like race fuel or tire smoke, bring me back decades.

I'd love to see pics of that dual 100.

Well, now that you're civil again.

 

Tire smoke! I don't get to smell that much any more. Cars don't spin tires like they used to. Can't remember the last smoke show I saw.

[G-Duax]

So Mike, do you still stop by local farms, and ask to smell the manure ?

[thisismatt]

Nothing brings me back quite like the smell of chlordane.

[G-Duax]

Or benzene (used that as an additive in my race bikes until it was banned).

I burn rubber in the shop on every build that gets completed. It's a kind of ritual for me. Just did a burnout in the shop yesterday.

 

Just be careful how you characterize us from here on out. You talk shit, I'm going to call you out.

[datzenmike]

Only shit I mentioned was the smell of manure.... and if anyone was un-civil it was you.
