Mr. LaStella explained that higher temperatures downstream in the exhaust system are indicative of wasted fuel that has reached the exhaust system after escaping the combustion chamber. When I was a racer several years ago, a spectator told me "That thing really sounds awesome!", referring to the sound of my exhaust when I would back off the throttle. Well, all that awesome noise was just wasted fuel exploding in the exhaust pipe. Of course, I was tuning for maximum power, not fuel economy. Dr. Diesel's basic engine premise is that the heat of compression ignites the mixture. Therefore sparkplugs are unnecessary. However, true diesel engines must be built strong and heavy to withstand the stress of this process. When passenger cars have diesel engines, they are sometimes converted from gasoline engines which are not as rugged as they should be and lack the truly high compression ratios of a real diesel. Therefore, they use glowplugs. And, when you speak of burning holes in pistons, well, been there, done that. You can tell what is happening in a gasoline engine by reading the spark plugs. You will see tiny balls of aluminum throw-off if you are way too lean. But a better tuner would have noticed little black specks on the porcelain first, as he was gradually leaning the jetting down for optimum power mixture. I wish I could read the stock market the way I can read a spark plug. I would know which way to tune my finances.
