Yeah, the linseed oil will turn to varnish in the engine. The sugar in the gas might or might not work. It may block the gas filter. But sugar in the oil, this will definitely work...It caramelizes in the right spots and scores bearing surfaces elsewhere....don't ask me how I know. Once during a joint training exercise in Florida (airfield seizures at Choctaw Naval Air Station) in Ranger Battalion a group of us got together and walked about 8 miles to the tower building so we could call our wives on the payphone on Valentines day. Before my turn the air force weenie in charge of the tower kicked us out, even after we very politely explained the situation to him. In a fit of rage (I hadn't seen my wife for 4 months) I sabotaged his car with an artillery simulator in his gas tank, trip wire detonated. His car was parked right next to a 5000 gallon propane tank too which would have taken out the tower as well. Then we walked back. About a half hour later I came to my senses, went back, recovered the booby trap and just cut his valve stems halfway through instead. (I was a little unbalanced then, but I'm feeling much better now!) It seems to me there is a book or a website out there on dirty tricks and revenge, but I don't know the title. Since I've become a daddy I've been trying really hard to act like a grown up and stay away from stuff like this. Probably the most sensible idea I've heard is to check the city codes on parking lot requirements, and then call the city inspector's office. Seems to me motorcycle parking space requirements came under a national legislative bill that sought to increase conservation and alternative transportation modes and gave businesses tax breaks for implementing transportation plans. Does your company have people who carpool? Perhaps if you lose your motorcycle parking, the company could lose its tax breaks too. CIO, does that mean he's in charge of advertising and that kind of stuff? Does that make him a spin doctor (read professional liar)? Jeff

Has anyone ever put a couple of drops of Visine in someone's coffee? I've heard it promotes very rapid and involuntary 'movements'. Also remember something about Drano eating through a condom in about 5 minutes. Drano and gas react to each other right? Heard all kinds of dirty tricks. Never tried these two and we'll just leave it at that. CIO is usually Chief Information Officer Jim Jackson II

You need to know the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at top dead center, the "clearance volume". You can find this by injecting oil into the cylinder (TDC piston) through the spark plug hole until its full, then removing the oil and measuring its volume. On a large engine this would be tricky, you'd have to suck it out with a tube or something, while on a motorcycle engine you should be able to tip the engine over and drain it out. You find the displacement volume by multiplying the bore * stroke * 1/4 * pi, or (1/2*bore) squared * pi * stroke, take your pick. Add to the displacement volume the volume of the combustion chamber to get the maximum volume. The compression ratio is found by dividing the volume at bottom dead center by the volume at top dead center, or Vmax/Vmin. The hardest part is finding the Vmin, especially since the piston top and the combustion chamber might have some really weird shapes. Note that compression ratio is a volume ratio, not a pressure ratio. Hope this helped and didn't confuse. Jeff
