No, I guess what TD is saying is that when you are hauling something with a PA (I have no idea what a PA is) there is a greater chance of water getting into the engine because somebody stole the rain caps? I can only assume that he is talking about something that is being hauled, seeing that is...

It does happen, the airflow ruining the turbocharger due to the rotation with no oil can wreck a turbo. Facts: Virtually all four stroke diesel engines have overlap built into the camshafts. If anybody has ever had a camshaft out of an engine this is very obvious if you bother to look...

I am porting mine. On forced induction engines as ours are, porting and polishing has a less effect than a naturally asperated induction system because inefficient runner flow can be somewhat overcome by pressurizing the intake air charge.

Coolingmist screwed me over on an eBay transaction. It took paypal interference before he would even cough up the parts I paid for. He shorted my order by 2/3 of the parts and then told me it was not worth his time to do a peice count of his stock to see if I was indeed shorted. He also told...

I didn't see any flatland fireballs at SIR on friday night... Progress? Guaranteed it would be more than me and mine.

If you have ever had a THM400 apart you will be right at home with the 4L80E. The majority of the rotating parts in the 4L80E are taken directly from the THM400. I am not a tranny tech but I did take it in tech school as part of the mechanics course. I managed to remove, rebuild and install a...

The place in red deer is called flo pro. An internet search will turn them up easy. I do not know for sure what sort of deal they had/have with warpspeed. I was told that the mufflers were built in red deer and the rest of the kit was made at warpspeed, they had some sort of swap deal going...

I think the "right stuff" is a urethane based silicone replacement. Our local NAPA and Auto Electric stores generally have the anerobic sealants. They are sometimes labeled as gasket maker. I think they were originally formulated to use on modular cases like snowmobiles, subaru's and air...

6gph is about right. I belive that is a flow specification that snow has created themselves, assume 150psi? I am not sure, their instructions do not really indicate that for sure. I know for sure I was using up much more than 6gph, so maybe that is a rating for a much lower pressure. The orfice...

You can bore them out, not really the correct term but I understand what he means. It is generally accomplished by having somebody make the tips flow slightly more fluid than normal. It is done in the same way that the tips were manufactured to start with. A very precise machine called an EDM...

Finally :o I was running a 375ml/min nozzle at time of destruction. It worked fine like that for a long time. I did also have a 225 ml/min nozzle in there for a while. It did not make nearly as much power but it made huge differences in the EGT - lowering it by nearly 150f post turbo. I do...

I talked to the Mahle reps at the PRI show in december and they said they were going to send me a catalog that applies to the diesels, still waiting....

Many machine shops have, or have access to a Tobin Arp pin boring machine. They can put an undersized pin bushing into the top end of the connecting rod and bore the bushing out, setting the pin to pin length at the desired setting. The same proceedure could be done on a milling machine but it...

I am all for agreeing to disagree. I am a journeyman automotive mechanic, and separately certified diesel engine and gasoline engine machinist. I believe that properly built and installed main girdles have to increase lower block core rigidity in the 6.5, or any other engine for that matter...
