And I knew a guy that mis timed a 2800 CID Pratt Radial during an overhaul to the point that it was over primed and backfired through the $15,000 supercharger trashing it and the $4,000 carb above it, not to mention the $10,000 master rod. Bet that prop didn't turn 3 revs before the light show!!
So tell your buddy that mis timing a truck ain't so bad after all. It simply won't start. The Pratt thing cost $50K....
