He SWORE that he could build two engines, everything the same except
one was built on a bench with everything free to flex, the other on a
stand
>  & the free to flex one would consistantly develop more horsepower.
Anyway I have never sought to prove or disprove this theory & am
unlikely to be building any more engines unless my Westie should blow,
& would myself prefer to use a stand but am throwing it out for
discussion, controversy, flames, whatever. So whataya think, Is he
full of it?

if this were true, then nascar and formula one mechanics would
certainly be building their engines on the bench, right? not to
mention porsche and bmw factories.
so anybody know how those folks build their engines? i'm of the
opinion that it ain't on the bench. ;)
