Re: What is a screw jack suspension?

This is a kind of screw jack or weight jack. You will see in the picture the cup the spring sets in and an all thread bolt sticking out the top that can be twisted to raise and lower the height of the truck. But more importantly it can also "corner balance" the truck for desired weight distribution.

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.
