Which you had to know. You taking pictures of someone motor apart is like me sneaking into your shower to take pictures of your girl. . Would that be OK ? "


Wow ! I've never been involved in an engine inspection. So, I had no idea class racers felt this way.

This makes me real curious. So, some of you guys, please tell me why a guy with a completely LEGAL engine would be so particular about somebody taking pics of it. If it's completely legal, why would anybody care what the inside looks like ? I mean, by now, don't most everybody know all the go quick tricks that will pass tech ?

Ya'll be nice now. I'm just curious, and would like to understand this better.

Because to those who know what they are looking at, there MAY be some small details they could see in a zoomed in picture that might give some insight into what some of the guys are doing. Things that immediately jump to mind would be valve spring type or ring package if they have the piston out. In super stock chamber or dome shape. Whether someone is running a piston flush or in the hole or above deck. The face profile of valves. To other engine people there is a lot to see.
