Carnage

[Hyde]

Figured I had better share some of the carnage from a mud bog I was in a few months back.

No hydrolock, just 4500+ rpm, odd thing is it finally popped while it was idling on the sidelines

 

[Dieselcrawler]

atleast it was the easy side to get the VC off. lol

 

[Agnem]

So you put in a different govenor spring but did not compensate with stiffer valve springs?

 

[subway]

thats the thing once a metal is stressed past its limits or fatigued it can fail at any odd time. so you gonna replece the rocker and try to just keep going?

Yes as you can see

sounds like someone else we know

Hyde- i can tell your not afraid of them like me, just dont be afraid when things break have fun i know i did i got a blown engine and a clutch that separated to show all the fun i have had, i guess clutches dont like 4300 rpm burnouts all the time

 

[Hyde]

Yea I wish I could get valve springs for it easily, im suprised no one tried to pound home the "I aint makin power up there point" Anyway a tach would be a good investment, anyone ever find anymore on the 351w marine springs or something?

with my latest engine i found that if i took it to 4000 everyshift the 0-60 times were faster than if i took it to 33-3600 seems like more power to me

 

[Hyde]

Ill be honest I probably dont make a whole lot of power up there, still make enough to keep the wheels goin and in the mud wheelspeed is where it at.

No offence, but you aren't. You're reving it 1000 RPM past the last of the usable HP. Look at any IDI dyno curve. After 3000 RPM, it's all over but the carnage.

[Hyde]

No offense taken because I fully understand that, I also stated why it is run that high. Just wish I knew of some valvesprings that would take it.

MOYIE SPRINGS!!!!! I had a blast up there.My party was over friday morning when I toasted my clutch.I was driving that lifted subaru if you saw it in action or wandered past it.My friend was driving the ford ranger with the 38's and Yosemite Sam painted on the doors.

 

[Diesel JD]

There was some interest in better valve springs. I think Typ4 was looking into it. I don't know how to check, never had a head all the way apart, changing gaskets is as far as I've gone.
