C'mon David....,

They used to think it was impossible to travel to the moon, much less
mars.... we've done it...

They used to think a 4 minute mile was impossible... Done

As well as a sub 4 second 1/4 run outof a piston engined dragster...
Done

etc, etc...

Just as a thought, if your believe the limitation of runnin a non spark
plug engine using the block and head as the anode and ground instead of
a spark plug is because of the bolts and the water between em creating a
connection, then we must insulate em, maybe even run two
seperated(isolated) radiators, one for the head, one for the block...

As for the bolts, use isolated anchors within the block or merely secure
the heads onto the block via some sortof external mechanism...(like a
vice)

Most obstacles are easily overcome, if ya think the 'right' way....

Anything else?

LATER!
