  • @thestove2407
    @thestove2407 7 месяцев назад

    Uh-oh The valves can't rotate, as the valve stem keepers are wedged onto the valve's shaft, and the keepers are also wedged into the spring's cap. They are all firmly locked together. And the spring's cap can't rotate the spring, nor the spring rotate on the aluminum head. Not to mention, the valve guides are not lubricated. So at 4500 engine rpm, in your theory .. the valve would be spinning constantly, while dry. That is a bad idea on so many levels. Even a tiny side-load at 1000 cycle per minute, would be a ton of friction, in a very hot and dry place. Your valves only salvation is the be pushed as dead-center as mechanically possible, in order to attempt a near perfectly frictionless cycle. Imho

    Very good explanation of the assembly -- You are the first to say-- set rocker at twenty-five percent right or left of center, in order to make valve rotate. I have a set of heads coming and I will have to look. Maybe , I might find myself buying some extra rocker shaft shims? Since you are the first one to mention the offset of the rocker --- I'll have to see if I can find more out about this setup. ---------- Thank You , Rodney

      A lot of times on these cars the oil level sort of self-levels itself. It blows some out of the breather until it gets to a certain level then stops blowing it out. That is initially what happened with that smoke. Even after the engine seized the oil level was exactly where it was supposed to be on the dipstick.

    • @ArneChristianRosenfeldt
      @ArneChristianRosenfeldt 2 года назад

      @@johnofalltrades9581 It does not look like the cooling extends to the intake runners. Also if you look in a modern engine ( with water cooling ) you see how they try to keep the exhaust hot -- like you already do by means of the paint. A clear sheet would just be a second layer to reflect infrared radiation. Indeed temperature changes are destructive for a turbo ( casing ). As such cool down needs to be reduced by insulation. The engine exhaust temperature does rise with retarded ignition and after some time. I mean I never really understood why the exhaust pipes cool down the exhaust too much for the cat, but not enough for the turbo. Something about cold start . But anyway, EFI needs to model the inlet temperature of the turbo casing and inject more fuel to limit occasional temperature rise spike.
