  • @fjoefourty I know, I know. "where are your videos, smart ass?".

  • Cast Aluminum must have the necessary silicon content to pour well and still be strong. This does not translate into being a very good alloy, it is a compromise. That's what machining a homogeneous chunk of good Aluminum is for, so a piston won't melt under high forced induction conditions."That's some good Aluminum". You guys are hilarious and scary! Hopping over cords and hoses....crimeny.

  • The Ferrari factory conglomerates the dross and removes Hydrogen from Aluminum like everybody else.......with a little Sodium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate. But I could see the thrill in swinging a heavy apparatus by means of a jerky hoist over liquid death, while wearing Levi's and and some ducky shoes. : )
