    Injector Spray Pattern - LMM

    The only common operational factor shared by the all failures I've personally witnessed is; engine was at operating temp, shut down for aprox 5-10 minutes, then started and immediately subjected to normal getting on plane loads. Every piston failed within 30 seconds under light to moderate load...

    Injector Spray Pattern - LMM

    Okay I'm all ears... But my first question is, why did I crack two stockers back to back when a pieces of rubber shot up the main oil passage and restricted flow? Load, and EGT was at a minimum when all mine let go. While those same stock pistons took more heat and abuse for way longer...

    Every bolt started without honing a single hole. What's the ods of that? CAD rocks, now need a 3D printer for mock ups.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    I'm more ready than anyone to see em done.. The small cooling system related plates arrived yesterday from S&T. So some more tig welding, then run to powder coat guy again. Once that's done, engines gottta have more mandrel bent SS just to connect everything together. Have flanges for all...

    Dynod my daily driver today

    My first thought also... But % wise to base it's not super agressive. [emoji123] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Man this guy has a set!!!

    Ya could tell by his hands the tires were fading fast at 5min mark. Very impressive drive none the less. Maybe give it to Sabine for a couple laps now.. [emoji23] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Injector Spray Pattern - LMM

    Remember the boat Wagler built that beautiful Duramax with transparent valve covers to go in? Then it all just fell off the radar bout a year ago. That guy ditched the Dmax plans for a pair of standard 500hp marine Cummins. After some testing, he realized there's a big difference between 500hp...

    Injector Spray Pattern - LMM

    Met JJ at Indy while checking out those pistons. Certainly solves one of my biggest concerns about forged. We've chatted about a monotherm dyno test. Which is what's really needed to have sustained power, and survive the occasional injector misfire or A/F related mishaps. I firmly believe if...

    Injector Spray Pattern - LMM

    Was talking about what size just yesterday. I drilled them on a LLY some years ago with stock pump. No issues. 5/32 drill bit comes to mind, but don't take that as gospel. So long as you leave the spring and check ball alone, they only spray at above 27psi. I can say the LML squirters are...

    Injector Spray Pattern - LMM

    Guess which major shop didn't drill out the oil squirters in engine above as specifically instructed? See attached. What really gets me, I personally told the owner to make sure it was done. Who then argued that it should only be done if upgrading to a full dry sump system. BS... After...

    Figure 6ft per engine should cover it. So x2, would take 12ft. Sending ya a PM.

    Yellow injector return fittings are definitely for 4mm line. Where did I read 3.6 on the bosch? I'll check a oem tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I've been chatting with JJ from Diamond lately. I feel the Mahle mono options are likely never going to develop.. Not enough $$ demand. But, I'm willing to donate the bottom end hardware to science, and he's working on the piston weight issues. Hope to get something rolling just to see why it's...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Not at all.. If it will run wide open fully loaded for 1 minute, it should do it for weeks on end till needs an oil change. Trick is, getting an engine designed to make 400hp running wide open, to hold 8-900hp under those same conditions. Turbos are designed to spin maxed out for thousands of...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    While watching the 24hrs of Le Mans, I built this handy tool to tell what will fail on your Duramax. Lets see who's crank will break next...:rofl: The Wheel Of Failures Enjoy !!

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Thanks much. Have a few extra feet ya wanta sell?? I haven't actually measured these barbs or stocks yet, but isn't the OEM line Bosch uses actually a 3.6mm? That's a common size, and used on some smaller cc gas engines. My biggest requirement is finding a biofuel compatible grade, cause I've...
