He's very very lucky...

i agree it might be a tottaly unrelated event, but still, have a little respect for the situation that they are in, if i was attending an accident with a possible death, and someone crack the funniest joke in the world, i sure as hell wouldnt be laughing
I can see how people think this way, but having worked in hospitals pretty much ever since I left school, and before that, having a nurse for a mother, you get a pretty good insight into what these people (emergency workers) go through. Have a little respect for THEM.

You cannot go moping around every single time a tragedy happens, when you see as many as they do it would tear you apart mentally. What you have to do is distance yourself from the situation, try not to think too much about the "omg he was someone's son" aspect of things. Everyone has a different way of coping with a traumatic event, for some people (myself included actually) one such coping mechanism is to laugh at it. Not at the event, but at the trauma, the upset, and whatever other feelings are trying to bring you down at the time. The act of laughing, even if it is at nothing in particular, can help to nullify the effects of a very traumatic event.

Also, sometimes the laughter is a REACTION to the trauma. I've been in a children's ward when a young child has died after a long battle with a serious illness, and two of the staff in the room got the giggles. They weren't laughing - they were in fact crying hysterically - but mammoth amounts of built-up stress with a sudden release can give those kinds of results.

I see what you mean. Obviously, i havn't really had any experince with these things, but i just looked innapropriate, given the situation. i guess, you have to give a bit of leeway for emergency personal, as they have to deal witht these situations pretty much every day, and they cant allow themselves to be tramatised by it. thanks for clearing that up Marc

    • I'm going to run hard lines front to back in the future. That should help dissipate a bit more heat. If not, a fuel cooler might be next 
    • No. The mark is with respect to the cam rotation. None of those things have altered it. When stationary, the cam position stays in sync with the crank position. It doesn't matter if you moved the head 4 feet up. Hence, that mark needs to stay exactly where it is.  
    • Toasty! I was around the same. Around 50 but with a fuel cooler. Got my tuner to dial down the pumps and its so much better.. i think last time I drove it was around 35-40 during summer. PWM makes a huge diff. I have the 1 PWM controller running my feeds.
    • Driving around town in summer, probably like 50°C tops. Went for a 2 hour drive before in summer, somewhere in the 60°C Mind you, I have 3x fuel pumps. 2x 460L 1x DW200
    • Good advice, I’ll try that.  and yeah i thought 5 degrees was a lot as well. The gates T291RB timing belt that was recommended for this engine was kinda tight when installing it and with both cams inline with the timing marks, the belt teeth wouldn’t line up with the gear. So I just turned the whole exhaust cam gear like half a tooth so the belt would go on and then adjusted the cam back inline with the timing mark, so some of that 5 degrees is from that. The actual cam has probably only changed about 2-3 degrees if that makes any sense lol also wouldn’t stuff like decking material from the block, head and different thickness of headgasket and the fact that it’s a rb30 bottom end affect the accuracy of the original timing marks?
