It's not my place to tell anyone what's right or what to use on their engine build. Building these little projects are quite often a bucket list item so emotion comes into it.
What I'm trying to do is help the less experienced builders find a path to success.
40 years ago, we built engines quite a bit differently but having tried and failed over those 40 year, there are some simple truths.
The first one is to set aside ego and internet chatter and listen to those who have had at least modicum of success.
