So blew up my #3 rod. wondering what caused this. lack of oil, due to rpm? poor return? oil pump sucking air?
last time it was #2 rod. I really don't want to live with this again. Motor specs, Dual oil coolers with full flow plumbing 102 bore by 80mm stroke long rods, ham heads and valve train. Running to 6800 rpm g loads to 1.5 windage tray modified at pushrod tubes for oil flow tuna can with 1/2 extra oil Pics of horror below. First are this failure, then old failure. |

Laughing at all the work that that goes into making a Type 4 hot rod. Truly a labor of love. I live in a world where electric vehicles are quickly becoming more common. They don't have much soul as far as I'm concerned but they can be crazy fast and put internal combustion to shame in a street car drag race. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Sad but true. I have to wonder if someday folks will be swapping out IGBT transistors in an attempt to hot rod their 50 year old EV's as inverter technologies evolve. I have to say I doubt it. Labor on and fight the good fight guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Love watching this post evolve and seeing Len's creativity at work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
