This total outcome of this thread for me has been a strange desire to wrap every transmission attached to an engine producing more then 200hp in depleted loving uranium. Glad you are mostly alright man.

Like I said in the other thread, I really, really hope this was just a case of "hey lets do a mockup to see what it'd look like with 20mm spacers" before pulling the trigger on a set of $350 spacers. Otherwise, I'm rooting for the asteroid at this point

Direct injection models all have issues with valve stems getting gunked up from PCV gas. Older engine designs "washed" the stems with gas on each injection.

The B7 RS 4 loses ~1 hp per 1000 miles traveled due to carbon buildup. My car has 38K miles, and has never been de-carboned.

it's probably fine but if you really want to know do a leakdown and compression check. this really only happens to DI cars. The pcv system burns oily blow-by mist and on a non-di engine the fuel is injected right before the intake valves which keeps them pretty clean. This doesn't happen on a di motor so all the crap starts to accumulate in the intake system. A water/meth kit or a catch can would keep things cleaner.

This was posted in the Stupid poo poo thread, but I thought it warranted a mention here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_Disaster quote:The blast leveled nearly 1,000 buildings on land. The Grandcamp explosion destroyed the Monsanto Chemical Company plant and resulted in ignition of refineries and chemical tanks on the waterfront. Falling bales of burning twine added to the damage while the Grandcamp's anchor was hurled across the city. Sightseeing airplanes flying nearby had their wings shorn off, [4] forcing them out of the sky. Ten miles away, people in Galveston were forced to their knees; windows were shattered in Houston, Texas, 40 miles (60 km) away. People felt the shock 100 miles away in Louisiana. The explosion blew almost 6,350 tons of the ship's steel into the air, some at supersonic speed.

But yeah the people saying that anfo will detonate on its own, generally speaking no, its onyl shock sensitive, you need a small booster charge with a high brisance to set it off. But if you BOIL the poo poo then I can see it getting a bit  about wanting to become nitrogen gas instead of a solid/liquid.I wonder how many fish washed up on the beaches from the hydrostatic shock...
