I try but some just won't listen. They seem to get upset when you politely correct them . I know little about sleeve valve engines but if I was in conversation with you I would listen and learn -Not push my limited possible incorrect knowledge onto you.
My pet peeve is the know it all who tells me that some thing is incorrect on my car . My standard response is to ask if they own one-The answer is almost always no but they know someone who does . My response is to tell them to buy one, spend the time and money I have spend restoring this to as accurately as I can and then they might be qualified to pick my car apart. They tend to drift off after that !
