This to me looks like detonation . BIG TIME ! There is aluminum all over the combustion chamber . -beerjet-
NO REGRET$ ... Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics / no matter how good you do you're still retarded!!!!!
Wow !!!A vacume leak, did you call Hover on this ?I have no idea hat I am talking about but I asked my daughter and she says.Actually a vacume leak will cause a particular cyl to go leen if it is at the intake to head area, if if is at the carb to itake it will cause all cyl to go lean at high rpm.
Any updates to post on the project?
Emonan's dauther is correct!Downer!!! I had spaced the $ I owe ya. It went out 2nd day yesterday. What bore size is it? Stock rod length? Part # ....I'll check through some extras for you.If I have one that will work...it's yours. With the xeption of one motor i've always raced BBC.
Good to hear BAE 557, when are you going to hit 170? I read over on HotBoat somewhere that the fastest jet is around 164...
The engine's builder went through a lot of different reasons as to why something like this would happen to an engine. He's charging me $200 to tear it down and put it back together again. For $200 and my lack of knowledge it sound s like a deal to me. If it happens again... You didn't need to 2nd Day that $, no worries, they're just sitting in a box waiting for you...The builder said it won't be a problem to match the waisted piston up, .030 bore, stock rod length, Sealed Power forged, can't find the part number 23__... I've got another smoked BBC that came with the boat, that one is a two bolt main, cast crank 454, missing one rod and two pistons. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that engine yet. I was going to use it for a winter project but I think I'd rather work on this... (Attachment Link)
When testing the pop-off over Labor Day, I did a 300' run and the boat has never hooked harder. I believe the next time out will be full throttle assualt to the count of 6 which should produce positive results.What is the time frame for your deal to hit the water again?
Now that's a cool project looks like fun.2sav
Looks like "Ridler Award" material.
I have been working on my '32. I am currently having problems with the sheetmetal I am working on warping due to heat. Specifically the door jams I am building. They need to be "right". I need to figure out how to straighten twisted and bent metal using heat and water and restrained force. I have forgotten more than I remember. I may have to redo it all and work slower next time.
I'm assuming you're "stitch" welding the sheet metal in your jambs? Are you using MIG or TIG? or OXY/ACET? If you're using any of these systems and still getting warpage then maybe your heat is too high, also don't use water to "cool" the metal (unless you're adept at metal shrinking) I use a wet towel on the areas around the weld, it acts as a heat shrink. Let the metal cool naturally.Here's a pic of the last hotrod I built;
I'd keep the outboard on it.
He took it off , he still has it.
Why did he take it off?
Have you tried posting pics on the HAMB? There is a PLETHERA, or however you spell it, of info and guys that can lead you in the right direction...As far as the top goes you got one thing on ever other 32-34 out there thats black primer...A real steel car!
