Sockington posted:OH - and for all of you with ZX2s etc - there's a company producing new rear subframes that let you install a Toyota Celica rear diff/axle setup in a FWD Escort GT/ZX2 chassis. There's tons of info about the Toyota trans swap + this new AWD setup if anyone wants it. Holy crap AWD escort? I need this information yesterday.

Sponge! posted:I wonder what blackstone would have to say on that... well, 125,000 miles is about 117,500 more than you would want to go on one oil change, but if he was only driving for 10 hr stretches non-stop, the engine might not be ruined. Engines love to run forever, it's the starting and stopping they hate.

I talked to a local guy that worked at some GM dealership, he said book labor was something like 4 hours for those and headgaskets or whatever but he did em in 45 minutes or so. I guess he had a little practice...

ratbert90 posted:yep, instead of you know.. balancing everything from the factory they were lazy. Has nothing to do with balance of rotating assembly. wikipedia posted:While an optimally designed V6 engine would have a 60 degree angle between the two banks of cylinders, many current V6 engines are derived from older V8 engines, which have a 90 degree angle between the two banks of cylinders. While this provides for an evenly spaced firing order in an 8 cylinder engine, in a six cylinder engine this results in a loping rhythm, where during each rotation of the crankshaft three cylinders fire at 90 degree intervals, followed by a gap of 90 degrees with no power pulse. This can be eliminated by using a more complex, and expensive, crankshaft which alters the relationship between the cylinders in the two banks to give an effective 60 degree difference, but recently many manufacturers have found it more economical to adapt the balance shaft concept, using a single shaft with counterweights spaced so as to provide a vibration which cancels out the shake inherent in the 90 degree V6. link ab0z fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Mar 31, 2010 |

Well a locomotive needs lots of torque and amazing reliability. I bet that 4000hp locomotive engine makes a lot more than 4000 ft-lb of torque.
