Oh come on. Its not like a MLM scam or something. Its a free site that is for entertainment. Who cares if you give him some points for having him tell you about the site. I dont think theres anything wrong with this thread. Sure he COULD have said if you click this link you get me some points...
Immediate benefit (all be it not something giant) would be less drag on the rotating assembly since its not belt driven. Could possibly free up a hp or 2.
Will prob look slightly cleaner as well.
Im interested to see what you do up. Take lots of pics :D
Hahaha... oh no this sound is COMPLETELY different then the sound we had from the two forged engines.
Forged sound: Instant, at idle, LOUD, constant.
This sound: Cant hear at idle, Quiet, Very audible right around 2500 RPM (rod knock WHAT! haha) etc...
They are most certainly blatantly...
Heh... Well Bill went and bought what was SUPPOSED to be a good running engine.... Just so he could put it in the car and enjoy the car a bit while he looks for another block setup to start fresh with the forged stuff.
So we pulled the forged engine and swapped over the head and intake and...
Really no point. Its almost impossible to tell what noises are over the internet and it will just have people screaming rod knock from the rafters.
It sounds like it did last time so I believe there is video of that floating around already anyways.
No. Certainly not the noise we are hearing. As Ive said before I could start a car with ZERO oil in it and it would take a little longer to have a noise like we are hearing instantly.
Not to mention the car DID have oil pressure before it actually STARTED. Bill had to turn it over about 3...
I have helped build the engine the last couple of times. Pretty much from start to finish. I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done and have built about 8 other 7Ms that have zero problems (at least that arent owner caused later on lol).
This one has been a gremlin after a gremlin...
the showed aired today at 9. then theres a rerun of the WRONG show going on RIGHT NOW (10:30pm EST).... looking at my guide theres a rerun of the RIGHT (SUPRA) SHOW at 1AM EST. It has info saying a skylark vs a chevy s-10. Thats the same info it had for the one that aired at 9 tonight that was...
Yeah pretty much have to see what the bearings look like when its pulled.
The mains looked a LOT better. However they showed a LITTLE bit of wear for only have 40 miles on them. But no copper showing or anything like that. I THINK Bill has a pic or two of the bearings but not sure.
As...
Well my question would be if it is infact piston slap... wouldnt it go away or at the least quiet down once the car is warmed up? Cause this doesnt.
I guess it just needs to be pulled and see what the bearings are like.
Yes we agreed on this assumption. These bearings were from the original forged build instant knock failure. We forgot about the crank plugs after having the crank cut. So we figured that was the issue. Then this build we used a different crank that wasnt touched yet. Had a machine shop cut it to...
