Do you feel bad about yourself if you can't practice your craft? I moved out of my house, leaving my garage vacant and will not be able to work on a rotary engine again any time soon. I did my own ports based on info that I gained by reading a lot of great threads and links. Now I want to get my grinder going again because it was like artwork, making ports and all. The engine is sweet and the ports turned out perfect for my design goals.



How do you builders keep the skills up when you can't port very often?

The primary.



What a waste of my life to be stuck in this studio quad with a bunch of youngsters who don't know anything about life and pursuing your dreams. All in the name of college and a better life later.
