The answer to the age old question "What is a sandcast engine worth?" will be answered by two fearless men on a quest.  At least one is flaky, btw............

I thought the same thing!  FYI ATF fluid instead of gear oil in a dirt bikes case gets much better clutch grabbage.

I think whales are the way to go. We can breed them for the oil and cut the middle east out all together, besides...it will be enviromentally friendly. It is just a frigging whale; what has one ever done for you. We can grow them in pools across the country to avoid any need to shipping.

If you raise the whales in the pools used to store spent nuclear reactor fuel-rods, maybe they will grow to Godzilla size in a matter of weeks?   
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Or..Or..what if the radiation made the whales even bigger= MORE OIL. Lets do it. WHat other animals make oil? We can use eels for electricity and whales for oil. Done. Send me your money.
