I understand there's no particular reason you ought to know what I do or
that
I'm one of the leading specialists in engine design and theory in the UK

So please, no bloody stupid room 101 test questions about where the
datum
point
for measuring the o/d on a piston skirt is because if you really want to
get
into engine theory with me I'll blow you out of the f***ing water.

Now you're getting nasty Dave. You're actually not the only person here
who
cuts metal professionally.

This actually is very funny, and I'm biting my tongue...because I know who
Anthony works for, and that he's very expert at the business of making
high-end pistons in production, and I know who Dave is, and that he's a
genuine expert at making his kind of pistons. Well, to be accurate, I know
something about their companies, by reputation in Dave's case and by more
than reputation in Anthony's case. I think it's likely that both of them are
top-level piston-manufacturing experts, within their own frames of
reference.

But they're at opposite ends of the production telescope. And it really
shows. g
