this was maybe 1/3 the thing in the basement of My moms house when i was 19 its an 11ft wide row house. and getting the engines through the alleyway there was so tight it left me maybe about 1 inch or less on each side
Now I’m not kidding that wassnt even the other 2/3 of the things.

Thanks for replying to me.
Oh as do I agree with you. But I was just getting the ball rolling on this topic. Even if it did not come out of my mind and to the keyboard the right way.
I know that we all have done at bare minimal one thing that we thought were improving something but in the end learned that either it was being canceled out, doing more bad than good, or having an adverse affect on another part of function. like these for instance.
over tightening something.
Blocking out or cutting off resonators in the intake.
Going to free flowing with an exhaust.
making an engine run to cold.
using to cold of a spark plug.
using big expensive spark plug wires.
Buying spark plugs with multiple ground prong thing that it is amplifying the spark.
Or how some Mazda RX8 guys/gals have gone out and bought a less restrictive aftermarket intake for their 13B’s thinking its improving their cars airflow, But in the end its killing the low and mid range power horribly and only adding just a few hp way way up high in the Rpm’s(and I mean only a FEW too), All Because the one that all those engineers took loads and loads of time & thought to build turned out to be better. who would have ever thought…..DAMN THEM ENGINEERS!!! 😆
Am I making any sense yet? I always thought the best mistakes to learn from are other peoples.
So what kind of a learning curve did you go though? what can you remember that you did you used to do thinking that you were helping when you had later learned that was not the case?
P.S. ♪ ♫”You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.”♪ ♫ i thought that was pretty funny.

Can you tell me a little more about this car? DOHC or SOHC? Year? I have done a good bit of work on The 420A, EDZ, ECC, and A588 engines. And might be able to give some advice.
