"The rope trick. How stupid."

Ok, enough! The rope trick is not stupid. The foolish part is leaving in the rope!

I get you do not agree with it and that is fine. You are free to express that opinion. Calling it stupid just makes you look...you get the idea.

A large majority of us, the hot rodding community for the 60's-80's, rebuilders of of post-unit motorcycle engines, etc. have used it for almost as long as there have been internal combustion engines. I know of no know engine damage from it when used even remotely the way it was intended. Give me a confirmed failure analysis or book of knowledge on failures caused by this practice and then you can call it stupid.

"Volvo engines heal themselves. Metal grows. Magical thinking."

You got me on that one. Poor wording on my part.
