Hey all,
Starting a new thread here... I'd like to get some advice please. Here's the scoop: New motor. 9:1 2056 w/ceramic coated euro race headers. Stock D-jet and stock ignition. Running on Brad Penn break-in oil. Two shake down drives for break-in (varying rpm and load, staying out of WOT and mostly below 4k rpm), and they both have the same basic symptoms. The oil temps get too high and idle turns to cr*p. Drive one: 75 degree ambient, 40 minutes driving. head temps vary between 250-275, never higher than 300. Oil temps climbed to 230, and once hot won't idle worth a damn. - backed off ignition advance to stock, was running at 30 degrees. Capped vacuum retard hose, seemed to idle better without. (mistake?) Drive two: 85 degree ambient, 25 minutes driving. Head temps vary between 250-300, never higher. Oil temp went to 250. Hot idle just plain sucked. I know I need to get a wideband on there to figure out what the mixture is doing, but if the mixture was going lean, I'd expect to see excessive head temps right? Can the oil temp simply be a tight motor on light oil? It doesn't seem right though. Help? Advice? Suggestions? Last thing I want to do is lunch this motor. -Josh2 |

man, I would think 0.220" is more than plenty, tho' if Jake thought you said 0.022" I can see why he would freak out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I used to run as tight as 0.100" on intakes but no less than 0.125" on exhausts on full race, domed 9500 rpm V8s, and as low at 0.080" on ti intakes one time against my wishes but the engine owner went for it as he found the heads on a Th and was racing Friday, and we ended up not having any issues. side note... Ti expands less than stainless steel (8.5ppm/C for Ti v. around twice as much 15-17ppm/C for stainless steel) and I knew that at the time, so I was sorta willing to take the chance but was sweating bullets with him road racing the next day at no less than 6500rpm and shifts around 9K on that engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
