I did a mildly stupid, but funny, thing just now.
I was putting the flywheel on my new k4.6 (for my new Savage X). Well, I always put a few drops of after-run oil in new engines and crank them over a few times by turning over the flywheel. Well, I could see perfectly into that huge exhaust port, but I wanted a little light. So, I grabbed my glow ignitor and lit it up! Let there be light! I could see every port, the nice shine of metal on the cylinder walls, but the piston was down. So, what did I do? I turned the flywheel over 1 half turn. Well, folks, we got ignition (glow plug), compression (new engine), and all it needed was fuel. After-run oil will do, thanks to the few drops I had put into it earlier! Bang! and a face full of half burnt after-run oil. My glasses have little specks all over them.
Let that be a lesson to ya!:LoL:
 
damn man you gotta be more careful , but I'm alsmost tempted to do that but in a safer manner to see the effect up close. he he
 
I guess I forgot my college physics lessons! Well, it was 14 years ago....
 
I'm fine, and I am still laughing. My wife said I was an idiot.
 
Remove the glowplug and place a flashlight on the top. I would loved to watch you when you did it. LOL
 
gave me a good jump, for sure. I guess that warning "combustible" on the bottle should have been a clue..... Combustible: I think they mean that.
hmmmm.
 
I think most wives are programmed right after wedlock to be like that.
That's ok, I haven't found anyone else to tolerate me for this long!
 
Sorry for laughing out loud, but that's an absolutely hysterical image you've created in my mind. If only, if ONLY it was taped, it would be a Utube classic.
 
Somehow, I couldn't help but have an image of Elmer Fudd after his rifle blows up in his face; powder burnt and shocked. Thanks for the chuckle, heheh.
 
That must be why my wife stands around looking while I am working on my rig. She is waiting for something good to happen.....Sillly Wabbit:arrr:

Heck it's no longer a theory. :hehe:

I'm calling it a fact, despite what christian fanatics say.
