What’s the difference between Hemi cam and the non-hemi cam?
@bahnzai73136 күн бұрын
The Hemi cam has the same size cam journals as most Clones, while the non-Hemi Predator uses a different size journal that fits only non-Hemi Preds.

Bought a Predator 212 a cpl months ago. I was riding and a guy told me I had a Hemi. I just looked around a few sites and looks like Harbor Freight sells them mixed. I like thebmotor a lot but cant have many mods. I dont know if thats a good thing or not .lol

Ever since Dr. Ackermann crawled out of the primordial hotrod soup, he and his cousin Bumpsteer have vexed simple minded mortals. Just when you think you have mastered Doc’s notions, a bitchslap hits from nowhere. While I think your solution will work, I first felt (strongly) that the new yoke would tend to sway front to back. Not a nice midnight dance sway, but a sudden WTF?! dance step difficult to to follow. But. But after seeing the rod ends placed on the SIDES of the Donner Passesque link, my thoughts changed. This sideways attachment may negate or minimize the chances of putting the whole thing in the ditch. The rack seems to rise as it approaches lock. This probably happens to the stock rack as well. It seems to me that you may have something! Testing will be in order. Doc’s geometry is a bit allusive at best. Paper modeling will prove fruitless I am afraid. A really smart guy - crooked, but smart - once built several cars for me. He worked closely with Chrysler for decades. They had a new model. Colt I think. Anyhow, this guy built top quality race cars and turned this Colt into a monster 1/4 mile car. He had to swap from a drag link to a leading link. This, of course means everything is now backwards. The car debuted at Mile High in CO. It was a predictable failure as a winner. But the car won Best Engineered. What is my point? I haven’t the slightest idea. If a crook from Arkansas can figure this shit out? So can you. Let the rubber hit the road! See how that bitch acts. You too may achieve Best Engineered. If not? Rack and pinion. TEXAS!

Question. For a straight valve 212 engine, ((being ran for normal industrial use at 3,600 on the original governor.)) With dedicated fuel of propane, 105/110 octane is normal for LPG. How much can a head be shaved with a change to a 0.010 head gasket. Without being under the 0.080 space rule? . Also. awesome video, thank you for taking the time to make it.
@bahnzai73132 ай бұрын
A lot. I’d be reluctant to give a specific number without measuring what’s there, but really, a lot. Easily 100 thou, although you’re going to either need shorter pushrods or to shim the rocker pedestals to get the geometry right again. Keep in mind, the straight valve motors are generally 020 in the hole, with a dished piston, and a cam that is only lifting .220 or something with minimal duration; valve to piston clearance is not going to be an issue unless you take a really enormous cut on the head. Also, if it’s a straight valve the head gasket is already 009 or 010; only the Hemi’s got that 040 fiber gasket, so adjust your calculations accordingly. I’m curious what the goal would be in cutting the head in an industrial LPG application. Adding HP? Routine rebuilding? What are we doing here? Thanks for the kind feedback, we appreciate the support. Like, share, subscribe!! Cheers.

@@bahnzai7313 its a wood splitter and it lives out side in a coastal environment, under a tarp. that regularly hits the dew point. the cost of ethanol free is around $6 propane is $2.60 Even with the ethanol free, im still dealing with water in tank every spring. From the condensation. Even with a drained tank. . Other then that recovering some of the lost hp from using LP. combined with a increase in work load from a change from a 11gpm to a 16 gpm pump. So yea more hp, LOL. . The other small detail is. it was originally sold as an engine with the 2" water pump. The water pump died and i repurpose it. I dont think that makes any difference, but mabe one piston type over the other is all i can think of.

Are crankshafts interchangeable?
@bahnzai73132 ай бұрын
Kind of…. You would need to use the correct flywheel for the crankshaft, as the tapers are different between the Hemi and Straight Valve, but otherwise you’re good to go. Rod journal size is the same, as are the case bearing diameters. As always, check your end-play and adjust with the side cover gasket thickness if necessary, but otherwise it’s a bolt-in.

I've used it for doing a TDS rally (2324.6 miles), towed a trailer, drive it around town with my cattle dog riding along, get groceries...not going to live forever, people react positively to it, and it's just a fun car to drive

Governors are set to 3600. The stop screw on the throttle linkage may stop the engine from revving beyond 2500-2800...but with the throttle linkage set to wot, the governor will limit revs to 3600. I often put a bend in the spring going from the throttle linkage to the carb, effectively shortening it so that the engine will rev to 4k-4200. Above that speed, it's best to remove the governor. 3600 rpms is the standard speed for outdoor power equipment. Also, nice to see the bowl gasket tip...I ruined several gaskets before I realized that you can't get fuel on them. Sometimes, a bit of heat will dry them out enough for them to go close to the original size.

You can run much higher than that with the governor and stock linkage. I do.

Yes. I hate Hemi motors, with a deep, almost all consuming passion. I hate them in the same way I hate broccoli, the word "moist", and Donald Rumsfeld. I hate them for their stupid limitations, for their unlikely popularity which seems to be due solely to the marketing value of the term "Hemi", and for giving me a little Love/Hate Boner because of their nice castings on an otherwise Wrong Headed Engineering Exercise.
