that just sounds crazy, but hey whatever works. wouldn't little sand particles break off?

yeah, actually it works really well. ::)

I did that on my old top-fuel civic... I use a really fine grain and put big straws threw it to let the coolant flow... Worked really well @ 20psi for about 2.2456 seconds, and then everything blew up.

i also heard you can run no crank bearings if you use thick enogh oil like straight 90 weight supposed to be able to rev to 11000 rpms like that

And if your making too much HP and your gears start to grind ... you can get rid of it by cramming some wood shavings into the tranny.

Personally i will never buy anything that needs to have a website like an infomercial.....they dont include the price of the stuff...i dunno...it looks like a nice scam to me...this clause at the bottom of their website really makes me want to go out and use this product

Beaus B16a Race engine is cemented, but has drilled passages for cooling.

I beleive the Zex race car also uses this method.
