So it's a pretty good deal if you've got a box wrench and chain just lying around rusting. um excuse me posted:That's good and well if the chain doesn't slip through the wrench. You can see the person holding the chain while applying torque which means it's probably not biting into the wrench. If sub Saharan Jiffy Lube changed it last, there's a good chance an elephant put it on and it's stuck. EDIT: Ah pooped up a new page. Here have this: It's a Porsche 5.4L flat 12 making up to 1500 hp, in 1973. The very same that steam rolled Can Am. Notice there are 2 plugs per cylinder, making it have 24 spark plugs and associated wires.

Of course, while I had that car I actually had a bit of a callus, right on my right forearm where it would be in contact with the intake manifold while changing the filter  Content:

16ftlb They are meant to be bottomed on the block and the torque is metal filter on metal block rather than just compressing the rubber To be clear, I am talking about the F20C / F22C1 in the S2000. Hand-tightened filters backing off and causing fires is not uncommon. They have numbers printed on the filter that indicate how far you need to turn them if you don't have the filter cap and a torque wrench.

My arm didn't fit from the top and it's simply not visible or accessible from the bottom because of the subframe. Strongly considering a filter relocation kit.

Shout out to the guys at the fuckin Toyota dealer who change my oil for me because I'm too fuckin lazy. And (so I've heard) to the Ford engineers because allegedly, you have to lift up and take a front tire off the new Ranger to get at the filter.

Oh, makes sense that it'd look like a diesel injection pump, then. I wasn't expecting to see flexible fuel injection lines, but I suppose the pressure was likely lower than what we deal with now. All that cool fab work and a small block Chevy? Boooring. At least it's got a nice big blower.

um excuse me posted:Shout out to Subaru for putting top mounted filters in their cars for the last 6 years or so.  You just lean over the right hand fender and reach under the intake and twist it off. If it's stuck, there's room to get your claw filter wrench in there and a 3" extension on your ratchet and twist it. We're talking NA MX-5, right? There's nothing requiring even the slightest bit of disassembly on those to get an oil filter off.

I always went at the filter on my NA 1.8 through the front passenger wheel well. If you pop off the wheel there's a TON of room, rather than the tight clearance going through the top. Minor annoyance, but you're already jacking the car up to get to the drain anyway. Just  if you did major disassembly to remove the oil filter on an NA.

The intake strut is the extent of the disassembly. Two bolts up top, one underneath. A lot of them don't have them because POs remove them, before you judge my particular experience.

um excuse me posted:Just like any tool infomercial, I question the efficacy at more than 15 ft*lbs. Strap wrenches are $5 at harbor freight. Plus if you want a home brew way to take off a filter without a filter wrench, to just drive a screwdiver through it and use it like a handle. The last time I used the stab-with-a-screwdriver method was the first oil change I did on my new-to-me E30 a few years ago. It was torqued on so hard that when I put leverage on the screwdriver, it just tore through the filter housing, and then I was left with a jagged half of an oil filter stuck on the engine

glyph posted:The distributor is between the plenums, next to the fan up top. That box is the mechanical fuel injection pump, which is driven off a single camshaft. The really hilarious thing is reading about the development of it. Injection pump is Kugelfischer, which is fundamentally like a diesel injection pump in the "piston per cylinder" way but has a 3d cam to basically have fully mechanical alpha-N (map of throttle position vs RPM gives VE and thus fuel to inject per cycle) which was basically the hottest poo poo until EFI got good in the 80s. So they build a testbed of the 917/10 engine and tune it perfectly on the dyno, and everything's really promising - power is substantially more than the 16 cylinder versions they were trying, all was good. Put it in a testbed, take it out to a track and... sucker is just a dog. Goes from belching black smoke and sputtering around to going like a bat out of hell, all at once, with no in between. Lap times were basically the same as the naturally aspirated 917. "Hey guys, it's almost like it's running pig rich." "That can't be, we tuned it precisely on the dyno!" "... but what about before the turbos spool...?" "Ohhhhh." It's really cool to me in a way in that like, they were inventing this stuff, there weren't established practices, someone had to think about what was happening.

Doesn’t ferrari (are there others? there probably are, I honestly don’t know) use a 3d cam profile for an [effectively] infinitely adjustable vetch style variable lift? Seems like a huge ask for cam bearings to have the shaft slide axially through them. mekilljoydammit posted:"Hey guys, it's almost like it's running pig rich." "That can't be, we tuned it precisely on the dyno!" "... but what about before the turbos spool...?" "Ohhhhh." Growing up 15 miles from Watkins glen has put an amazing assortment of old and rare cars in front of my eyes, I have to say that it’s only in the last half dozen years or so, since I’ve been working at a place with access to a machine shop, that I’ve given pre-war stuff more than a cursory glance. I get it now- just looking at a machine of that era through the lens of this era, you can pick up the decisions and see how ‘let’s throw this at the wall and see what sticks’ automobile engineering was then compared to now. I love stories like that, and there’s an awesome thread (engineering anecdotes) there, but stories/anecdotes like never really seem to come up without some prompting.

Also, 70s race cars always demand more than a cursory glance, everyone knows that- even 7 year old me when I saw Donahue’s Penske 30, and had to be peeled off with a spatula by my dad so we could move on). I was more riffing on the mechanical turbo fuel mapping anecdote to the similarities to earlier automotive hacks and bodges- things like friction dampers on leaf spring suspensions that were tuned with a wingnut, or the crazy vw beetle windshield washer sprayer that used the spare tire for pressure and the complementary tire pump/hose that worked by removing a spark plug to run the engine on 3 and using the fourth cylinders compression to pump up a tire. I LOVE poo poo like that. I only brought up pre-war because that era of cars feels even more ‘solitary genius in a shed’ than the post war stuff which feels more designed by committee. (Now please don’t jump on me about the washer bodge being a 1953 innovation or whatever). glyph fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Aug 28, 2019 |
