Sounds like no real problems then. It's tough to decipher what really goes on behind the scenes so I just hear things in the rumor mill and can't make heads or tails of it sometimes. Oh well, if you are having good luck with it all, then I guess things are good in the JL camp.

Gotta be careful buying into rumors and speculations !

in general I am not a fan of Taiwanese engines..The metallurgy is just not comparable to the Italian engines, but the Force built JL is an exception.Very hard billet piston, and a very well hardened crankshaft..Not the typical Taiwanese butter soft metals we see on the more popular brands....I wont claim its up to par with he Top Italian engines, but its definitely at the top of the Taiwanese when it comes to metallurgy ...Bang for the buck its a really fine engine.....

He was just saying (in a humorous way) that your post was very difficult to understand. A few tips to eliminate the problem:

1. Enough with the double spacing. There is no need to hit return so much. (and yes, I know I'm doing it here but this is a list. You do it on EVERY line)

2. Download and use Firefox web browser. It has a built in spell checker.

3. Proofread your post before hitting the submit button.

Eliminate those common errors and most people will overlook the occasional problem with grammar.

Red face Missing

Well,


1. I didn't know this was a spelling class. So I forgot 1 o in the word too.
Being a little critical...

2. Is there a rule about format??

3. For some reason a whole sentence got chopped off. I didn't send my
message with missing words.


And as for the remark...

If a person doesn't understand something, please ask for an explanation
and not a smart remark. If something is said and a smart remark is made,
how is the person who left the message with several items in the remark
suppose to know what part of the message was not understood??

Isn't that reasonable??

That would be understandable but there was much more than that wrong with the post.

Red face Typo

O.K. I changed my message.

If someone doesn't understand what I typed, Please let me know.

I really don't mind explaining if something doesn't make since.

For example:

life of the engine, that will surely bring the cost up to a new unit.

Funny though. I have a few old Rossi engines. A Black Magic and an LSK.

I found a guy on ebay who had spare piston/sleeve/connecting rods for both

so I have several sets and I paid only about 100 dollars. I like the engines and

they run strong. I plan to keep them simply because of their era. When I

I purchased the Black Magic and the RB Concepts WS7 (1) 1 what? I didn't use them

for about 3 years. I was actually afraid of their power. I had heard of the
unnecessary space
torque monsters these were and I had seen them in the hands of a more

capable driver and I was amazed at what they could do. Now of course,
unnecessary space
times have changed, e-buggies are out with more power then that can

produce and I have one (4s, 2650kv motor, stupid fast)

Anyway, (drifting of topic as I usually do) I got lucky to find someone who

sold me my spares.

Black Magic is kinda scary too.
Now any one of those alone would be no problem. Throw it all together and most people wont even bother to read it, much less try to understand it.

And as for format rules, try writing in all caps and see how long it is before someones gripes about it. Like it or not, there are certain etiquette rules when it comes to online forums.

I'm really not trying to give you a hard time. I'm just trying to explain that when you write posts in weird ways or full of errors, many people are not going to bother taking the time to try and figure out what you are talking about. So instead of addressing your point, they address your words.

Talking Hmmmm

I'm done.

This has really gotten way off the topic at hand.

Talk about getting carried away.

Dude?

Let it go..

These aren't the droids you want.

Move along.. Move along...

Talking

(Changes have been made to the original post. Hope it clarified the original)

Anyway...

Getting back on topic..

Torian4000, I hope what was mentioned here helps you make a decision as to what you next purchase will be.

I am sure if you have any other questions, you won't hesitate to keep the questions coming.

Talk to you later.
