Then when you turn the engine over, any liquid which might have gotten into the cylinder will squirt out the **** (hence the safety gear!) and not cause problems... 'cause liquids don't compress, and cranking an engine with liquid in one or more cylinders can cause all kinds of really expensive type problems...[xx(] <br />[/quote]
