Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
In 12 hours it looks like it lost approximately .1 lb. of pressure. Just one more case of assuming something is ready to be reused without being checked. Shame on Me!
I would say it was just another " Stupid old man trick " but I'm smarter than that. Just not that time. Last edited by Larry Hill; 12-09-2019 at 12:07 PM. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I'm Happy to report the water leak may have been the best thing to happen to the engine. On inspection found the crankshaft key had way to much ware for a few dyno pulls and two 1/8 passes. Grove in crank is .187 key is .183 making the key .004 small and allowing the soft key to be deformed by impact from crank gear and pump drive. I was advised to get correct size key made from better material.
As said by my Uncle Al " It doesn't coast a thing to pay attention" |
