    you may have not read my post back during the mullet gasket issues. but I am glad you switched to copper gaskets. just remember to check the torque after every couple of passes on the head bolts. copper will give a little over multiple heat cycles causing the bolts to become a little loose. the good thing with copper gaskets if they're thick you rarely have to worry about them. if they loosen up and water or oil gets by just drain and replace fluids then tighten head bolts back to spec no need to replace the gasket.

Don't remember exactly but maybe about the time they did the boat challenges. They seemed pretty pissed at each other, kickling icecreams and drinks out of each others hands.
      Also what I initially meant was the focus shifting too much to Kevin and Dr Tunem-all, plus George.
      It seems Cleetus has a specialist guy for every separate aspect for which he used to rely on James for. Plus Cleet seems to spend most of his time with George or Alex.

    I did a rear structure re-seal on a detroit series 60. I did the regular application of sealant on the block but this time, for the first time, I layed down another small bead all the way around the very edges. It squeezed out a perfect little bead between the block and flywheel housing so now you can visually see from the engine bay that it's perfectly sealed. It just looks good so I yelled out "hell yeah brother! You're on the Cleetus McFarland TH-cam channel." I'm pretty sure my co-workers don't watch TH-cam. They just think I'm crazy. Now if we could get PayPal working from the mountains of BC that would go a long way to proving I'm not crazy.

    The full skirted pistons will do more for preventing rod bending than the aluminum rods will....those little slippers just don't have any stability sideways which is what was bending the rods.

    • @codycole8

    • @recoilrob324
      @recoilrob324 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@codycole8 No...not so much 'over time', but at max revs you have to allow more clearance with aluminum rods or the pistons can tag the heads. They are lighter than steel but not as strong so they'll stretch when a steel one wouldn't. This happens at the top of the exhaust stroke where the rod cap must stop then pull the piston down. The rest of the cycle has the rod in compression which either material is easily able to withstand.
      Top Fuel is an entirely different situation with pretty much detonations pounding the rods so it's no surprise that they'll compress after time...but here the forces shouldn't be anywhere near that level. I think going to the full skirted piston is the solution to the rods bending and the alloy rods not needed, but either can work if built properly.
