You know full well UT is not allowed to be "right" around here lol..

Now that said, I think people are forgetting the purpose.

When this was first a thing, these engines we brand fricking new. People weren't swapping banks on engines that had 100,000 miles on them and required an engine bore. So everyone bitching about that aspect, put your panties back on and get a grip. SMMFH....

The problem is he’s not right. He’s wrong. When you calculate the dollar per horsepower is ridiculous. By the time you buy all the gaskets and do all the work you could by pistons with a 1/16-1/16-1/8 ring pack and pick up 25 horsepower.

I suppose if you are running Stock Eliminator and you are trying to set a National Record you might give it a shot.

Of course, in Stock Eliminator you have to run OE dimension ring grooves, but you can buy spacers and run a nice, thin ring pack and make more horsepower.

What UT is doing is keeping alive the old myth that there is enough power doing it to justify it. IMO there are a dozen better ways to spend time and money. Even back then when those books were written. It’s not like you couldn’t buy a piston.

Has nothing to do with liking UT or not liking the guy. I don’t know him. It has to do with perpetuating silly crap.
