    PPEI Next On The Chopping Block???

    I'd been saving this for a rainy day. How many trees a year does prop 65 stickers kill? I know someone has done the math by now. Bought this cheap screwdriver at parts store the other day and said WTF? Yes its from China, so it probably contains lead based paint. But I didn't need CA to kill a...

    It's all Volkswagens fault. They had to go and tell the world there was such thing as a clean diesel. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    I think everyone should email EPA Director Andrew Wheeler with the subject title ; Support Coal Rolling This Columbus Ohio native doesn't believe in climate change, and spent his previous 10yrs before becoming the head of EPA as a lobbyist for the coal industry. From His Wikipedia Page...

    650s probably pretty reasonable. Ken's harness didn't use relays, only fuses to a,master power lug. With that setup you need to use a pretty high amperage rated ignition switch. Only possible issue I saw with it. The bussman relay blocks I use are about $100 alone. But I like having relays and...

    And I fixed one of his in FL last year. lol Actually his work isn't to bad. Was just some LBZ to LMM pin differences. Same type setup I've done for a couple boats in the past. Where you use the oem engine harness and bale connectors, and just modify the chassis harness and fuse block. I on...

    I did actually farm it out. Then spent a couple days fixing pins on it. Said I can do this next one better myself. Soon discovered I'd just as soon let someone else do it, so I at least have someone to bitch at when it doesn't work... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Time to finish up the front end. I learned on the dyno, these things will still chuck a 6 rib belt just as quick as an old vee setup. Hope I get it right this time.. Then buy two new alternators and reclock the back half so pos terminal isn't tuck out in the wind...

    LML Twins and Opinions

    Haven't looked in an LML file for a bit, but as stated above, the LMM has a table where idle speed can be adjusted based off VSS reading zero or not. Sounds like that's the one ya need to change. Other option, a push button momentary open switch stuck in the output shaft speed sensor signal...

    Fuel Cooler

    Sounds like some of you are overthinking the problem. Only issue I find with factory design was location of the cooler. At normal rate of return, even from a stroker pump, if ya put a cooler where it can gets decent airflow then temps will be pretty close to ambient when hits the tank. As...

    Also Vibrant sells some junk..... First failure I witnessed was one of their turbo band clamps explode on a friend's boat at only 50psi. Wrote it off defective part. Then had a 6AN cooling line end fail on the dyno. Probably over tightened it, ok. Last, fired up the second engine, 6AN turbo...

If you ever wanta build your own LBZ/LMM harness from scratch, please hit me up, and I'll talk ya outa that stupid idea.. I have all the ECM pins and connector...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I've heard horror stories on glow plugs from many professionals. And judging by these SS deletes, don't really think I'd want to torque on a real plug that hard.. But be sparing because any excess does run down the stem to where the plug seals against the head. Noted that on a couple that...

    #2 primed . Same issue of air lock on the filter head again. This time I pulled the oil temp sensor and set a cup under it. Took a couple 10 sec cranks with glow plug deletes out to get it flowing. Then reinstalled the sensor and she built pressure like normal. Gonna have to note that one in...

    Tip of the day. A little never seize on your gp delete rods never hurts. Especially if ya wanta take them in and out again.. Only SD parts on this whole build, and they ain't blue. Ironic ... [emoji16] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Set of 17x34's a buddy loaned me to test with. Once I see how those do, will likely step up to 17.5x38 or 40's with 5 or 6 blades. But no need to spend big $ on a set of props when really no idea what it needs. Beggars can't be choosers.. And 34's are biggest thing I could beg up this month...

    Had our dyno man adjust the 900hp tune to match these 200 overs based off flow bench #'s. Only other change was removing piston coating. Then it's onto the real world water brake for retune. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Fired one up last night. Found a downside to my new monster non-drainback Wix oil filters. The rubber flap inside doesn't allow them to purge air easily. Even with glowplugs out, it wouldn't build any oil pressure cranking. I was starting to second guess if I tightened the pickup tube or not...
