Pictures would have been a better explanation.
Imagine you have a 6 inch bolt, but the elevated clamping force only comes in to affect the last 2 inches. Grind maybe 3 inches a little bit and your
Not fighting the full running torque of the nut.
No, you would still have at least a 1/2 inch of threads above the nut, you just wouldn’t be fighting the entire length of the threaded stud.
threads would be at least 3 quarters away around the entire length of the stud with a 100% about a half inch above the nut.
One of these days being smarter and better prepared than everyone
else is gonna go to your head someday. Good job!
we tell everyone of our kids and family, minimum of five gallons of drinking
water in jugs at all times In case of problems.
All the A3 tires rims that we have done, we lightly sand (grind)the inside of
the wheel studs (rim to rim half studs)next to the hub center about maybe
a quarter of the diameter and with the rim torqued down should have about
a half to three quarters of an inch of full threads above the nut...
We have several diesel vehicles. And some set for a month or two.
If we see that we are going to be traveling or for what ever reason we drain
or siphon as much fuel as we can out because we can use it in another vehicle.
say with a hmmvee or a m-35 pour a gallon of regular unleaded gas in the...
Have to ask the obvious question,
is the transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials and axles going
to be Upgraded (a lot?) to be able to harness this power?
Yea, I had a yak with the air start system. Truly amazing system never once leaked down.
got nervous about taking it to a air show and being
there overnight if it ever leaked down.
So installed an electric starter also just incase.
One time after doing some maintenance and being on an extended...
I need a picture of your mother, we must be related …haha
in making ours we needed it to be smooth on the front because we either tow a 44’ fifth wheel toy hauler or a 12’ camper with our Jeep on a flatbed trailer. So one way or another we are heavy in our travels. And for some reason people...
And the carbon above the top ring is normal because if you mic out the top of
most diesels , above the top ring diameter is normally smaller than below the
rings. ( face of the piston gets most of the heat and expands more)
which in heat failure (over fueling or cooling issue) there would...
Again I have been around Reno racers, (Allisons, Merlin’s, with lots of boost)
and tractor pulling. I have to say this is very unique to me for failure of a “stock” engine.
But the beauty of a diesel over a “gas” engine is that you can’t melt a piston by going
“lean”. Ya can by over fueling...
spending some time looking at your photos, it really looks like there was an
obstruction in the cylinder. And with it running I don’t think you could put
that engine in a laboratory sitting and hydrauliclly lock it up with coolant
while in was running at anything above idle RPM.
I would start...
