- 1800/4=450, 3300/6=550, 5000/8=625, 355 cc=1 pint-16 oz...I guess
- it might be done, but I doubt it--I find that when I do the trick
- I have to experiment a bit then find a speed of pour that is a bit
- less then will stall the motor--I have a helper rev it real high-
- -I also think the run through the intake will nulify the effect of
- using real hot water...btw by real high I mean 2000-2500 rpm not
- 6 grand. If it is enough water to damage the engine it will stall
- real fast...
