I can understand the UV affecting the surface of the wheel but how can the UV cause the whole of the wheel to shrink and crack? Seems like a different problem.
I took off a wastegate to put back on a D turbo but that was because it was damaged. I eventually did obtain and install a good wastegate turbo. Who was the person who had performance issues?
I replaced all of the wheel cylinders in my bobbed deuce last week (1.5") and noticed that one of the front brake hoses has a crack. They were all replaced about 8 years ago but I want to be as safe as possible. So, I searched for a source for new ones and happened upon TM 43-0143 which...
Agreed, it can also depend on the design but is usually confined to wet sleeve engines. That said, I have been following this forum since 2005 and I can't recall even one cavitation problem with the multifuel.
My understanding is that special coolant is only needed for wet sleeve engines to prevent cavitation erosion. The multifuel has dry sleeves and is not prone to cavitation erosion.
I get about 13 psi on my 4LE354 wastegate turbo; maybe more if I spin the motor to 2400 rpm. I don't have any numbers for CFM but I can trigger the filter minder with a new air filter. It never did that with the C or D turbo. I have the larger compressor and housing from the LDS465-2 turbo to...
You may be able to get away with it but it is best to avoid parallel battery strings. Consider a string of 2V cells instead.
Get a chart outlining the depth of discharge vs number of charge/ discharged cycles for your batteries. It will show that you will dramatically shorten the life of...
While looking for something else, I found some additional information in "Diesel and High Compression Gas Engines" by Kates and Luck 3rd Ed:
"...Therefore, the improved efficiency obtained with higher compression is not due to the compression itself, but due to the fact that higher compression...
