How Much Power Can You Gain WITHOUT Changing Camshaft or Cylinder Heads? (Expo 2024 - Episode 39)
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.2 месяца назад
How much power can you gain without changing camshafts or cylinder heads? Lake Speed Jr answers that question with the 20-year-old Ford C3 engine from his dad’s garage that we’ve been working on throughout Expo 2024 (see episodes 1, 13, and 19). After fixing some scuffed pistons (and replacing 3), and giving the block a new hone at Straub Technologies, Lake took the engine down to PME Engines i...

    I work in a machine shop and we balance cranks. The two major takeaways is drill no more than 1/2", and make sure the unbalances are 180* apart. I haven't seen swiss cheese like your example come to our shop, but pretty butchered.

    You can also be consistently wrong using any Bob weight Spacers....Just as your connecting Rods will be precisely Centered laterally across the crank pin Journal, your selected Spacer should precisely Center the Bob weights consistently during Setup & different cranks need different width Spacer tools .

    OLÁ Analysis 08/08/24 Meu Inglês atual não me permite acompanhar a parte audível mas como ex da Metal Leve, Johnson Bronze , Federal Mogul acompanhei visualmente o vídeo. O que me chamou a atenção é de nas primeiras peças mostradas é visível o defeito de fabricação através de riscos no sentido do corte efetuado pela brochadeira em provável mau estado. Nas demais peças mostradas, bronzinas, eixo, alojamento, alguns poucos dos defeitos mostrados não vi em mais de 3.000 motores que por mim foram assistidos e analisados. Uma nova geração de defeitos está a caminho devido a mudanças provocadas por alterações no sistema de lubrificação onde as diversas alterações subsequentes efetuadas pelos projetistas indicam que "dias piores virão" .

I would of liked to try them on my old 340 with 2x830 hollys on a weiand ram.( witch was very hard to beat ) I miss that car.thats my 1 life regret selling it due to cancer 31 years ago.( thus the stint for 16 years in the vw stuff.) now I just drive my tuned solstice gxp(turbo) ( but still have 2332cc&2393 cc rollercam ac vw motors I need to finish& put togeather or sell off. keep up the great work guys!!

  • @davelowets
    @davelowets Месяц назад

    Nitrous molecules break down (from the heat) in the cylinder into nitrogen AND oxygen molecules. The extra oxygen that seperates out of the Nitrous molecules when it breaks down ALLOWS you to add extra fuel into the cylinder to what amount of air (oxygen) that was carried in there by the natural induction process going on by the engine itself. Once you add the extra fuel along with the nitrous, the engine will make extra power from the bigger fuel/air charge that is now in the cylinder. If you DON'T add any extra fuel along with the nitrous, the engine WILL go lean because of all the extra oxygen that is introduced into the cylinder when the nitrous breaks down into its individual nitrogen and oxygen molecules, you WILL burn parts down. We ALL know what happens with an acetylene torch when you hit the oxygen lever when the flame is applied to a piece of metal and it gets good and hot, well, that would be what happens inside the cylinder if all that extra oxygen was added, but no extra fuel was added along with it. The extra oxygen WILL find a fuel source, such as pistons, engine block, or head material, if enough fuel isn't present for all the oxygen in there. That's how parts end up torched and holes appear in pistons.

    This is a video that doesn't suck and all useful information, (even if your never going to build race engines). Some of the things I've done for 40~50 years as an 'engine' machinist but others were new to me. Piston holding fixtures, I always cringe when I see 'professionals' just clamping pistons or liners any old vice or whatever. Nickel bronze valve guides, (C63000) specific for Titanium valves? I know titanium has a lot of issues as it's difficult to machine and likes to 'combine' with just about anything it touches.

    Don't lighten the crank? I think he should have said be careful how and where you lighten crank. The one they are playing with has been lightened significantly compared to a stock crank. There are area's on bob-weights that can be lightened without causing loss of strength in torsion or flex. It's been known since 1940's that cross drilling crank-pins actually males crank stronger and less likely to crack. Overall, pretty worthless video as it didn't really have very much information and could have been a 'short'

    I appreciate the detailed information that Lake and Jimmy provided about the preparation and installation of the Total Seal gas ported, gapless piston ring sets. In the follow up segment after this engine was subjected to some serious dyno test flogging, Lakes Motor Oil Geek analysis revealed some very interesting results. The used oil chromium content from ring wear never exceeded 1 ppm in all of the NA and forced induction tests. The Total Seal rings were the only component listed that didn’t have excessive wear. Of course using a quality oil of the proper viscosity is important. But extreme boost will quickly reveal a poorly assembled engine or inferior components. Well done Lake, Jimmy and Total Seal 🏁

      Lol, there's just a little more ro it than that, bud.... It's an air pump that HAS to have the exact proper combustion going on inside said "air pump" also. The "air pump" story is only HALF of the equation. NOW you have to add a fuel to that air, in the exacting correct ratio, and light it off at the exact right time, to achieve the highest horsepower without damaging the parts.... It's NOT "just an air pump".

    You may have "reduced" VE, but you increased trapping efficiency and reduced pumping loss (and less dilution). That smaller cam will be a much nicer driver too. Which rpm did you use to drive the new cam design? I don't recall who said it, but a hole in the torque curve isn't just a lack of power. It's a sign that the engine won't pull well. Water brakes don't show that at 300 rpm/s. Stock 2016 Stingrays accelerate at over 1000 rpm/s in first gear.
