just something that been on my mind a bit after a friend told me what he would like played as he was laid to rest..

so whats your choice of song?..

ive narrowed mine down to a few..

song to the siren by the Cocteau Twins

Porcelin by moby

and The William orbit remix of Adagio for strings better known as the theme music to platoon..

so now the forums are alive again, lets talk dead people

Adagio for String (Samual Barber) is probably the most depressing and yet appropriate piece you can play at a funeral. The William Orbit's electronic rendition is no where as powerful as the original. Take out a copy of "The Elephant Man" from the video store and have a box of tissues near by :D

Another similar piece that's really depressing is "The Host of Seraphim" by Dead Can Dance ( Lisa Gerrard). Who also sang for most of the songs in Gladiator ..

Got a few more but too depressing to think about :D

AHAHA Dan tupac thugs mansion.. not bad... i was thinking more of a rocky theme for you..

There is no song more beautiful and symphonetic (if theres such a word) as the mentioned above Barbers Adiago for strings.... for those of you that haven't heard it it is amazing..... for all you into the dance scene this was a big trance hit in early 2000 however still made it big without any major beats and still very close to it's original form, if there is every such a song to bring on a tear jerker this would be it, the ferry corsten remix of this is very nice. Also a song by a group called "Hybrid" the song is called unfinished symphony, this is just as amazing.... this would be very close in so many ways on the same lines as adiago for string.. please those of you that like adiago for string find this song... Hybrid is awesome!! Agreed with XRW and simple logic, barbers adiago for strings would be a beautiful song for such a sad occasion.....

Not the most nicest thing to think about yet still an interesting question:uh-huh:

A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth.

Most people don’t know it so here's the lyrics

Don't remember where I was

I realized life was a game

The more seriously I took things

The harder the rules became

I had no idea what it'd cost

My life passed before my eyes

I found out how little I accomplished

All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends

I'd love to stay with you all

Please smile when you think of me

My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde (To all the world)

A tous mes amis (To all my friends)

Je vous aime (I love you)

Je dois partir (I have to leave)

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive

I know it would surely break

And my memories left with you

There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing

What it leaves behind is hard

You know the sleeping feel no more pain

And the living are scarred

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
