No funny stories but I must say it did get me thinking
The anecdote of how fast you go depends on how high the pile of broken parts is...............correct.
Also his detailed description of the dyno work on piston bore relationships also made me think of the forum discussions regarding cheap cast pistons ie cruising image versus expensive forged. The choice is dependant on the budget and if your planning to explore the danger zone ie 50 mile engines, it would be better to stand on a pile of cheap cast pistons until you found the edge. I often think of the worlds fastest Indian LSR record where Munro kept cooking pistons made from him melting pistons from old cars to make a new set machined up in his old lathe. With all the wonderful modern metallurgy in piston material and computer aided design aint no-one gone faster
Always nice to hear from the old timers who done it the hard way.
