    I did better than I thought I would

    89% practical, 82% theory, 93% performance.
    I grew up around a family of mechanics so I guess that helps.

    I did better than I thought I would. My guesses were more based on intuition.

    Your result for The Ultimate Internal Combustion Test ...
    Engineer

    You scored 73% Practical, 73% Theory, and 56% Performance!

    Well, you understand the physics and principles behind internal combustion, and can even put them to use diagnosing problems. But you lack practical tuning experience that would make you a perfect all-around combustion science expert. You're off to a good start, though, so keep learning!


    You scored 73% on Practical, higher than 67% of your peers.
    67/100 You scored 73% on Theory, higher than 67% of your peers.
    35/100 You scored 56% on Performance, higher than 35% of your peers. How everyone did

    You have a good idea how the stuff works, and you understand some diagnostics and repair as well as tuning and performance. You probably get a lot of phone calls and emails from your buddies, asking for advice on repair shops, what vehicles to buy, and what go-fast stuff works and what's junk. You're rightfully proud of your knowledge and skills, but you've still got a lot left to learn. Fret not; resources like my own 'Motorcycle Fuel Injection Handbook' will go a long way toward your understanding of gasoline-powered four-stroke engines, and what tuning gizmos are truly useful. Keep up the good work!
