Re: Question about trailing arms

You can run short 1-2" beads down the center seam if there's no significant rust or scaling for peace of mind.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
