I assumed that KW78's post was sarcasm.

Not sure, but I believe this makes Duncan a cheater.  Clearly the rule book doesn't say you can do this so you can't.  I can't actually see where you are allowed to change the spark plugs at all but I am sure I am missing that.  Furthermore this is not stock machining so is there a weight penalty for it?  I clearly can conceive of how in the first corner that the bushing style insert alters the heat transfer to the plug, so we can run more timing in qualifying and get a competitive advantage for several engine revolutions.  Furthermore, a steel insulator in an aluminum hole has some advantageous affect I am pretty sure with the whistler test, as its vibration frequency is different.  This will cause a lower reading in tech so I think we can put a thicker rod bearing in the cap and a thinner one in the rod side and effectively bump the compression with the stock parts.  Also if we are allowed to do this, then I see no where where it specifies which plug the insert can receive, so I think I would put the b-spec mazda plug in because I hear that tech doesn't have an adapter for that so anything becomes tech shed legal at this point.  I have called my engine builder and we are pretty sure we can find 6 to .8 hp in this area and be tech shed legal in the gray area allowed here.    Sorry for the decimal point typo but you know what I meant.  If this is not allowed than can we at least agree to agree that Duncan should be suspended for a few months for trying to increase his compression by overtightening his spark plugs.

Lmao... The who KW post is in so many ways what sm is quickly turning into.

 

Grammatical correction...  "has turned into".   Past tense not future tense.....

I was hoping the current issues references were obvious... 

 

Let's not go overboard.  I'm only a hypothetical cheater, since I haven't actually installed this head on a car yet.   Since it turns out it has a cracked valve seat, it turns out not to matter anyways, at least in my case.

Oh now we don't let facts get in the way of good assumptions here... this is SM...

Kyle has a very good grasp of the definition of "Absurd". 

 

But is it possible Duncan has unknowingly exposed a super secret cheat that might need a rule clarification??

 I know I have kidded about this in the past but I think we should have a special place on the forum and we can hold weekly 12/step meetings where we can all be open about our addition to cheating . we can call is smca...

Now this ^ is funny. Previous to the Daytona and the Runoffs according to this site only the kid and his dad from FL were cheaters, oh my how the population has grown in size. Many continiously busted the kid and his dad and now the wagons are circling to comfort the larger population.

If I'm reading between the lines correctly, I viewed this between the lines a long time ago, cc'ing is done with the same exact plugs in place.

Hmmm...I'm not that smart
