RE: Twin 16v Motor pics and site
Thank you for pointing out my error. (Grrrrr. I HATE making spelling
errors!!!) Since I had gone to my Webster's only a few days ago on that
same word, I can only present my less-than-perfect typing skills as an
excuse. (and those skills seem to be getting worse by the week)
Very often I need my chops busted....thank you for being so gentle. :)

I had kept my mouth shut about that.

I'm a spelling and grammar Nazi as well. If you point out a spelling
mistake, you must then make sure that your response is free of
mistakes. "Phenominon" should be spelled "Phenomenon."
On a lighter note, your observations of hydrodynamics are correct. :)
Busting your chops only cause it's Friday,
