Hey!
What the heck, Prof . . . .
I resemble that remark!
Compression release:
Only those who have dared start an old (pre-compression release) single M/C without appropriate piston "positioning" know the results of such seemingly small innovations!
My foot (leg) hurts just thinking about it.
(However, you *did* learn to master the technique quickly, once "bitten").
Or - grew up in the days when real LEO "Motor Officers" rode kick-start Harleys, and watched the same by the men in blue - with disastrous results.
Solid Lifters:
Yeah - the first 283 Chevy engine I rebuilt, a guy by the same of Sig Erson (Iskendiarian's -then- shop manager) convinced me to use a solid lifter camshaft!
I had the opportunity to tell Ed (personally) not to long ago - just what a dumb move (on my part) that was, LOL!
The M/C engines were lots quicker - even fun.
