[Land-speed] Inspectors to check engine displacement

[Rich Fox]

It certainly has been done in the past and is a good idea. I don't know who
Dan will accept in your area,but I bet there is someone.

Well, yes, you're technically correct, Mike -- but I can sure see reasons why
it'd be nice to do it ahead of time - and have the engine sealed.  Like on
our
nitrous bike, for instance -- it requires a complete teardown -- take the top
end off -- to measure, thanks to the design of the engine.  And taking the
head off requires darn near pulling the engine out of the bike.  It'd be nice
to do all of that stuff in the friendly environs of a shop (instead of at
Impound), for sure.  I'd insist that the inspector that does the measurement
be a top name (Dan Warner, Tom Evans, etc) and that he not only seal it with
a
seal that carries indisputable evidence that he did the sealing -- and of
course, have him enter the information about the process in the logbook with
a
signature and date by the entry.  No equivocating allowed.
