  • So you want to work on a Funny Car? Here's an inside look at the service after a run with Chris Stillwell, crew member on Matt Hagan's Mopar​ Funny Car.
    In less than four and a half minutes he gets the body off the car and has the cylinder head off! WOW!

    I could take the plug wires off. After that they'd push me aside and tell me to go get waters for everyone.

    While the engine looks uncomplicated as such,the tolerances and material strengths must be spot on because the forces that every last nut bolt and washer is under during a run is massive

      Dave Micolichek haha but the saying is true, shit happens. I have a top fuel dragster piston and Conrod in my room from the Rocky Mountain Nationals in Edmonton, Alberta. It had a whole torched/blasted through it due to a loose fuel line causing the cylinder to run lean. It cost them the race, and they got lucky it didn’t damage the block.

    @montestu5502 6 лет назад +2

    Why are the head bolts hand loosened versus just using the impact for the entire process? Potential head warping?

    • @LgSutterby
      @LgSutterby 6 лет назад +3

      Monte Stu yeah, most likely to prevent warping. Those heads are still hot hot hot, fresh off of a run. I’d imagine they would loosen each bolt before removing, to minimize shock to the head. Notice they are milled aluminum - high dollar and easy to warp.

    • @carlsenden8750
      @carlsenden8750 6 лет назад +3

      Monte Stu The bolts are close pitch threads and are torqued down. Need a breaker bar (leverage) to crack the tension. Once cracked, he goes back over with the rattle gun and zips them out. This process is actually quicker and more gentle than flogging with the rattle gun straight away.

    • @patw52pb1
      @patw52pb1 5 лет назад

      It helps prevent damaging (pulling) threads in the aluminum cylinder block during disassembly.

      Alex Lavoie That doesn't matter. Who cares if they're tearing down cars quickly or not. It's a cool piece, and I can see why anyone would want it just for the shop.
      Why do you think that you can keep information from someone just because they probably won't be using it for whatever intended purpose?
      God damned control freak.
