What bothers me the most is that, after doing all of that, you come on here and act as if the engine's accepting your blatant abuse with no problems whatsoever, trying to imply that everyone on here doesn't know what they're talking about when they try to explain the conventional limits of these engines...and, when you DO have problems, you do everything you can to put the blame elsewhere instead of recognizing the effects of your actions.
Furthermore, as I have said before, the part that REALLY concerns me is that someone who doesn't know about diesels in general and these engines in particular may read your posts and not do any further research, believe that it's perfectly safe to do what you're doing, and end up destroying his engine. Maybe that is not of concern to you, but given that I see this site as primarily a place to help people out, I consider it to be a BIG problem, and that's the single biggest reason why I've been so vocal in my opposition...and IIRC I'm not alone in this, although I think others have given up in trying to speak out. At the same time, I admit that, to me, many of your posts sound like bragging, and I don't consider that a positive attribute. The "Who says idi's cant make high boost?" comment in your signature is an excellent example of that.
You're right that it's your equipment and you can do whatever you want with it; I've never tried to imply otherwise, contrary to your last statement (and that does not prohibit me from expressing my disapproval/attempts to warn others)...with that said, while my earlier post was partially intended as a joke, I admit that it seems to me that you're trying to make your diesel behave as much like a gas engine as possible, so you really might be better off going that route if you "can't stand" anything below 2800 RPM
but if your pockets are deep enough to either keep rebuilding engines or build an engine with the right balancing and stiff enough valve springs to accept that sort of abuse, more power to you.
I apologize in advance to anyone else who had to read this; I almost sent this as a PM but wanted to make sure it was read. I've been trying to bite my tongue for months now, but I can only take so much of this...
from the truck as it said it's last words. Atleast you got a lady who supports your cause, whatever it may be!
