Now the vast majority of enthusiasts would have realised that the suggestion was a pi$$ take and laughed it off, but to the greenhorn newbie asking a bunch of supposed experts he obviously took the "advice" seriously and proceeded to bugger up his motor (it's all in the thread)
To me this is a good example of what can happen when a newbie asks a question and gets glib replies from "experts", you need to be careful with your replies as you just dont know if they are going to be taken seriously or not.....

Has the exact thing happened on this very forum?

I remember the thread from years ago, but was this person serious? If he was, I bet was really mislead by the forum members.
