Good morning all and welcome back from the holiday weekend! I got my truck back from Arizona's Affordable Diesel Tech on Friday afternoon and I am pleased to report that all is well again. For the first time in a long time my EOT are within a few degrees of my ECT at operating temps. Jason and his crew did a fantastic job for a reasonable price. I would recommend checking them out if your diesel needs some TLC.

With that said......How about them MONSOONS!!!!!

Trivia Time:

1) Indicated Horsepower is the amount of HP delivered to the top of the piston during combustion and is mathematically calculated. What is Brake Horsepower.

This must be a trick question, because indicated horsepower is the theoretical gross horsepower minus friction loss. Brake horsepower is actual horsepower measured by dynamometer or de Prony brake (where the name came from).

2) What is the difference between Indicated Horsepower and Brake Horsepower called?

A General Motors commercial.

3) A 4-stroke motor operating at a constant 2100 RPM will complete a single stroke every ____ seconds. (A calculator is permitted)

.014285714 seconds.

4) When a piston reaches its highest point in the cylinder, this is called what? Conversely, what is the lowest point in a piston's travel called?

Where it hits the bottom of the spark plug and the oil pan.

Or maybe TDC and BDC.

Change of topic so no one person can dominate the trivia game!

5) Ambient air contains approx. __ % Oxygen. An exhaled breath contains __ % Oxygen.

20 and 14 (I learned that in CPR class)

6) What is considered "normal" blood pressure levels for an adult?

About 20 points less than mine. Unless I've been working with my son-in-law, in which case about 120 points less than mine.

7) During CPR of a person with no pulse present, the rescuer will compress the chest creating a pulse, and there for a blood pressure. If that blood pressure were measured, what would the blood pressure be?

Same as it would be when the heart is pumping.

8) Statistically, what day of the week are you most likely to be struck by lightning?

The day you replace the television antenna on the roof.

Or the day you called in sick to work because you wanted to go fishing instead.

BONUS QUESTIONS!

9) What magazine did Huge Hefner work for as circulation manager, while raising funds to start Playboy?

Mechanix Illustrated. But his idea for a fold-out of Tom McCahill kind of flopped.

10) What is the smallest country?
Vatican City is excluded for this question.
This is borederline on a trick question, as the country is not recognized by all sovereign nations, while others have recognized it. There is a fun story behind it for anyone who knows it.

San Francisco, Peoples' Republik of Kalifornia. It's not just another country, it's another world.

Just funnin' mostly.

Joe
