it's just a toy car

i to sometimes need to have some humility. I need to step back and look at the whole situation. Yeah, i have only a year and a half of expierience, and no i am not afraid to ask questions no matter how ridiculous. This is how i have learned and i have learned alot.

Do i know everything?? Hardly. But i can say for me, that sealing a engine has not helped in my tune. I used to seal my engine because i thought i had too. But i like to check my internals alot so i stoped. And nothing has changed. If i have a air leak it is usually because of a bad bearing/ head screws are loose/ fuel system. I purposely reset my needles most of the time so i can practice my tuning, and i have become very good at it. If it is not tuning right there is a reason and sometimes it is something stupid like the glo plug is loose or the carb boot. I am not a pro, i am not sponsored by anyone. Maybe sealing a engine really helps some of you, but it has not helped me. If anything it's a pain to break my engine down.

Just to check the rod is a pain.

This is jmo.
