"and to think I was going to ask someone to explain the combustion phase "
There are four strokes in an internal Combustion Engine.
1.Intake stroke -fuel is let in through the opening of the valve(piston travels down)
2.Compression stroke - Fuel is compressed(piston travels up)
3.Combustion stroke - Spark plug ingnited, forcing the piston down, thus power
4.Exhaust stroke -Piston travels up pushing exhuast through exhuast valve
Learned that in Automotive Technology 2. But then again, I'm not certified by Ford...Cameron

well, on the combustion stroke, the camshaft actuates these little lifters that push pushrods that work little pumps that connect to the winshield fluid resevoir, that causes them to squirt that wiper fluid/coolant onto the winshield

ahh yes..Putting either one in the wrong place. Why not fire anti-freeze onto the window and run super tech washer fluid through the Block. It could use the clean. Squirters--The operater pushes down a button, that closes a circuit to an electrical motor. The motor forces the liquid through the squirter and the pressure is high enough to push the fluid to the window.

Operator:A collection of sub-molecular atoms, cells, muscle, bones, liquids, and organs that preforms a certian task. An operator is also known as the monotone voice that answers the phone when 0 is pushed. Note: Winsheild wiper Fluid squirter's will not go off by dailing 0 on the phone. They will only go off when pressure is applyed to the fluid release button by a person.

It's actually more like 2600 RPM's. Actually it isn't bad at all. I absolutely love it all the way around! I sure would love to race you...man what a slaughter that would be! lol Then I'd love to see who could tow the most...again, another slaughter. Let's see what else could I think of? Right now I'm at half a tank of gas, and I've gone 200 miles...which means I'll be getting around 15 to 16 mpg's WITH the gears.
low, you're actually not too great at getting under my skin, but you are half descent at reminding me how much I love the decision of getting the gears was. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Keep in mind dipstick, I also have a 2001 Accord that is my more daily driver...yea, didn't see that one coming did you?
Unequal length was it? Sorry, I must have forgetten seeing as how it's such a shamful thing to confuse. It's crazy, you have one good point, and then you try and milk it for all it's worth...what a noob.

Oh come on Guys, were is the love toward fellow man! Leave the bickering for the politicians, they are exceptnally good at it. I been in two years of Automotive Technology, and know a reasonalble amount about cars and good knowledge about the tearing and building, repairing of an engine. Yet I too, like true4.2 thought thought the same about gears(not something common sense can help you with), but I learned something new. I do know what unequal length headers are though, that's common sense to me...unequal
