    Alot of people know so much about building nailheads on this website. So according to them, this engine shouldn't run...

    Yes, why would a nailhead not run just because it has a blower on it?

    Is this the blown Gasser that has a couple of you tube videos out there?
    If so, the car is pretty cool and has lots of nice fab work, Sounds awesome too.

    I noticed that part, I was hoping to steer some positive dialogue from the initial post. :)

    The "wall too thin causing overheat" is a myth.
    That particular problem is honing procedures and surface finish.

    Actually, with it's relatively small valves, a Nailhead would benefit greatly from Das Kompressor.

    You'd think with those domed pistons it would blow up; but these guys have made it work...I'd love to see what one could do!
