Nha it's not that bad for it. Ether is bad for glow plugs, thats where most of that comes from. Red hot metal and suddenly it gets sprayed down wet with a combustible liquid is the issue. Melts em and sends molten metal into the cylinder and through the valves. Thats the bad part about ether. These are hi-perf engines. That little bit of ether doesn't hurt it none.
@@mikeznel6048 ether has no lubricant in it,it's burning...it's not about if it's hurting it.its definitely not good for rings no matter what metal on metal moving fast with no lubricant isn't good....I have still never got a answer on passes.
That's insane amount of ether. A normal high compression engine would blow, at least the head gasket, but most likely would blow the head right off the block. Amazing.
@@badgear I asked before how many passes do they get out of these motors before they need a rebuild?,seems like the rings would just get fried from all that ether?,I understand the block is steel and sleeved but damn you can only make a ring so strong....
Little bill cosby in a can never hurt anybody. Pretty impressed it ate up two of em while building up heat and getting on fuel
How many pulls do they get out of motor before it needs a rebuild?,that ether is got to just be scorching the rings and cylinder walls....

I could not hear the explaining.
Would it not make sense to put a Block heater and a oil pan heater in this engine to help with the warm up time?
For the indoor pulls they have both and torpedo heatera under them for hours and still go thru ethier by the case, especially for indoor winter pulls.
So, at what point exactly did the fuel get introduced.
I was walking across the front of the tractor when that happened.
Lots of Cosby sauce in her!
Consent in a can!
man i don't think I'll have the balls to do that to my motor for that long.
these ppl have endless amounts of money 😆
What motor is that? It sounds like a 13.5 john Deere but I am probably wrong.
It's a 680 cube long block based engine. The rest is all custom.

to answer your ? tom these arent high compression these are low compression engines truthfully thats why it calls for 2 cans of the ether
Some of these pro stock tractors run like 10:1 compression ratio
no way
Why does it take so much ether to get tractor running?
Low compression for high rpms.
This alcohol or diesel?
Diesel

@@alscompleteoutdoor9091 they get anywhere between 50 to 80 hooks on an engine, if nothing goes wrong lol!!
when somebody uses ether on any engine, just a small shot, then everybody goes crazy because it washes down the cylinders :)
When it's cool out, these motors get 4 or more full cans of ether.
@badgear Just curious but why not warm up on race fuel?
