    When I was teaching middle school science and we'd get to the internal combustion part of the book I'd bring in a piston from a weed eater, a 300 cid V-8 and an 800 cid six cylinder irrigation engine.

    Led to some good discussions about size, mass, rpms, and more. Hopefully I got some of them to actually think :roll:

    My auto shop teacher hammered that into us! He also hated anyone calling an "engine", a "Motor"!

    our shop teacher said the same thing. "it's an engine! not a motor!" someone said "what's Motor Oil for then?" he didn't have anything to say.

    That's because they are engines. Motors are something different.

    And don't forget to check your motor mounts.

    And what about Motor Boats?
    Outboard Motors

    Or Motorola?

    Reads like the build vs assembled debate with AR-15s.
