3 Day Weekend

Well i'm back......................It's Tuesday morning and here I am back at work, I took Monday off to get my Christmas shoping done, WOW, were the stores ever busy, and the streets too.................What a crazy time of year.

Man I have to vent here a little.....................What happened to My Bengals...........They sucked last night, and did it on national TV, God that was embarrassing to say the least.

Maybe I could use this time to give everybody some tips for storing your racing engines for the winter time (A little late, but you know what they say 'Better late then never"). And since there isn't much going on in the racing world these days there is no time like the present.

Let's say for example that you race a Yamaha KT100 engine (Although these techniques will work with any engine) the first thing you should have done was "FOG" the engine with some oil.................Now hold on let me explain what I mean here............With the engine on the chassis and everything connected you would remove the airbox from the engine, after that start the engine up and keep it running with one hand while you squirt oil (Any oil will do even some 10W30) into the Carburetor with the other, this process will completely coat the inside of the engine with a thin film of oil.

Once you have that job accomplished you can remove the engine from the Kart and thuroughly clean the outside of the engine and remove all grease and oil (If left on for long periods of time these deposits can stain the aluminium at a detriment to the engines appearance). now with that out of the way all you have to do is find a nice cosy place to keep the engine that will limit drastic temperature changes that cause condensation inside the engine that will eventually cause the engine to rust.

Well that's all I have right now so I hope you all enjoy the tip for the day and I will be back later with more thoughts and tips.

Bye for now.
