How often do you need to change the actual block?

[@512undertaker]

so question is everything inspected and reinstalled or do you have like a new set of pistons , and valve train etc to go back in. cause this is the coolest thing to see and such great teamwork and just want to know how much is going to be reused

[@Megacatares]

I think they are just re ringing it with new bearings. you can see the honing tool being used at the end.

[@brianiswrong]

They but a replacement rack in it (pistons,rods,bearings) the top teams will use new on each run,but lots of teams will check that an item is within spec,catalogue how many runs its had and re use it.

The crews that do this are awesome. Ripping apart and putting back together a 11k hp engine reliably is so cool. Can everyone do the others job if needed?

[@slowpoke96Z28]

NO! not unsupervised at full speed at least. some guys can once they've spent time at every job, but not everybody can. but there is usually a progressive learning curve. the orchestra would be messed up if bodies were moved around to different jobs. if you ever watch on TV and hear how they are talking about a team having an all volunteer crew or local hires who don't usually work together taking a lot longer in turn around time, this is what they are talking about. it's like the difference between a militia and an active duty military unit when it comes to proficiency.

[@deaf2819]

@@slowpoke96Z28 yup. I’ve been active duty Air Force and there’s a visible difference in the timing and how in sync things were on the flight line from active duty Guys to guard/reserve.

[@AnamosaBlueRaiderMarchingbandF]

@@sparkymikey25 ooooh ok ty!!

[@parzival828]

so satisfying

[@thedewdster]

Honest question... What is the need to rebuild these constantly? Are they rebuilt when they break or rebuilt all the time to prevent a break down?

[@slowpoke96Z28]

part is maintenance, part is tuning. the maintenance part is the friction babbitt bearings on the crankshaft. they get beat to near death, so they have to be examined and replaced. there's some forensics going on too. how they are worn and how much tell a story of how the engine ran. the tuning comes with the selection of the pistons, the head gasket, and the heads to achieve a specific compression ratio. since the rods are aluminum, they get pounded shorter, which changes the piston to deck measurement, which changes compression. the head gasket thickness can be varied to change compression. the cylinder heads can be selected by their combustion chamber volume to change compression. those are all why the long block comes apart after each run. and that's if nothing was hurt on the pass. the clutch and the supercharger get their own workover as well, clutch more so than supercharger.

[@thedewdster]

@@slowpoke96Z28 damn man... That's a little of shit for 1 pass, but it makes sense tho! I figured there was heavy wear on the parts, but didn't factor in the changing tolerances due to such heavy immediate wear. Thanks for taking my question seriously 🤙

[@wtf3494]

[@chupacabraattack]

What do they do once it is torn apart? Is it mostly to check the components or do they replace certain parts?

[@brandonrodriguez679]

From what I've seen it's a bit of both they check some of the components and spec them out n from there they replace what they need to since most components wear out after one pass

Amazing… the basic hemi was introduced in 1951; this iteration in 1964 if I remember right. No other ICE is capable of putting out this much power (14,000-15,000 hp) on a consistent basis. Dominate Upper level drag racing.

you mean reciprocating piston ice at this displacement. there are a lot of internal combustion engines that make more power, more torque, and for way more than 5 seconds at a time. to appreciate what these engines do, you gotta understand what the others do too.

Isn’t them motors held in by hose clamps wouldn’t I be easier to just swap the engine with a good one then you could go through the motor before the next pass I know you guys stock enough parts to build like 20 motors and probably hold like 5 motors

[@joescarratt9389]

I believe it’s like F1 where you can swap engines if you really need to but you get a points penalty for doing so. So it’s in their interest to keep the same engine, plus it’s about going as fast as possible on a deteriorating engine, otherwise what would stop the richer teams running a fresh engine every run?

[@MattLitkeRacing]

@@joescarratt9389 no engine penalties. I’ve helped on cars that have gone through 4 engines in a weekend. You can swap engines all you want but you have to take the blower, manifold and heads off anyway. They don’t put a complete engine back in because head gasket thickness is a last minute call. Some crew chiefs have asked for head gasket changes after the warmup.

[@brianiswrong]

They could swap a complete engine every run But They would need to semi strip and rebuild it depending on the weather and track conditions (fuel flow,head gaskets,even piston heights can be changed to help get down the track) It's also a " drag racing thing" to rebuild the engine that has run if possible,it keeps the minds fresh and ready for any eventualities
