Instead of hashing out some of the most often debated subjects repeatedly, couldn't we just add a few more stickies and point to those every time someone brings up the subject? Then people can go nuts in those threads, and everyone new coming to TheSamba can get their fill when they ask.

Just to name a few:

1. Chromoly VS Aluminum Pushrods
2. Stock VS 12lb Flywheels
3. Stock VS Heavy Pulleys
4. 26mm VS 30mm Oil Pumps
5. Full Flow VS Filter/In & Out pumps
6. Hex Bar VS Push Pull VS Cable
7. Mag VS Aluminum Cases

Stock style rockers VS 1.3/1.4 ratio rockers and cams. Maybe a folder of stickies so we don’t have scroll threw them all.

Convert a type 4 engine to an upright sticky, would be nice. Pray

This. One sticky with links to the various threads would clean things up.

I'm sticky-ing this thread (irony?) for a while as a few people have asked me where all the Stickys went.
