Fuel is compressible, and they did their best to Find a sweet spot through the RPM range, so the Fuel gets To the Prechamber at the exact time needed for the best result. Although Much faster, Electricity still needs time to get there and Fuel just needs a bit more time. So they Made the Markings and Found the perfect timing in these numbers.

I think that clutch Chinese whisper probably started life as the old tale of worn thrust bearings due to depressing the clutch when starting the engine. The lack of oil pressure on starting up and the extra load from the clutch would wear the thrust bearings over time. I heard this 30+ years ago and it was meant for old British engines.
@uliwehner2 жыл бұрын
this has been around for a long time, also for starting old Aircooled VWs. Ultimately, when it is cold out you want to help the starter as much as you can. so you put the transmission in neutral, so that it is not as much of a drag, then depress the clutch while you turn it over. Once it starts, which is usually just a few seconds, you let the clutch out immediately, which will then start moving the oil in your transmission, even in neutral. this will help when you drive off. In short, it doesn't matter if your thrust bearing looks like new, if you can't start the engine in the winter :)

I suspect the rod half big bearing shell is a sputter type bearing to take the forces of combustion, the cap half does not need to be and can be made of a cheaper type of bearing, possibly bi-metallic. Sputter bearing shells are very expensive so many OEM’s only use them on the rod half and possibly bottom main bearing shell.

Those stuck rings are defiantly indicative of veg oil use. When I rebuilt my 200TDI three out of four pistons had seized top rings. Compression was low across the board. The issue is that the majority of people think that veg is a pour and go product. It is, to an extent but long term problems such as crankcase oil contamination, stuck rings, blowby and eventually if left long enough, polymerization of engine oil and blocking of oil filter. If you are lucky to have a bypass on the oil filter then oil flow is maintained however jellified oil is circulated throughout the engine blocking oil ways. When running veg on a single tank setup, the cold starts on veg are what kills compression. The veg when injected into the combustion chamber when cold is extremely viscous and difficult to atomize. The anatomized veg hits the cold cylinder walls, condensing. The rising piston will scrape up the oil like a windscreen wiper and fill the tiny clearances between the cold piston rings, grooves and the bore. As the engine comes up to running temp the veg oil burns, and due to its long chain esters solidifies into a hard varnish. My recommendation is not to touch veg, unless its either process into biodiesel to break off the long chain esters or to run a twin tank system with heat exchange.

@wackowacko89313 ай бұрын
In the US on drag racing vehicles with automatic transmissions and very high horsepower, when the trans brake is on during a race there is a high amount of hydraulic force that can develop inside the torque convertor or front pump. That force can push the torque convertor forwards off of the input shaft which has a tendency to wipe out thrust bearings in the motors. They developed a spool valve to dump some of the hydraulic pressure on the transmission so that it wouldn't cause this issue in the future. I've never heard of someone bending rods because of excess pedal pressure on the clutch mechanism, I would tend to think it would be extremely unlikely.

Perhaps I missed it, I did not see you check the thrust to know that you installed the correct thickness of thrust bearing. On American V8s I would always check the thrust before the final torque and stretch of the main bearing bolts. The center main had thrust built into the bearing if it was too tight you could sand down the bearing with crocs cloth and a piece of glass, if too much play was found you could add shims to get the correct end play.

16:30 About that "heavy clutch bending con rods" stuff, I think you misrepresented it. Presumably it isn't your foot pushing on the con rod that's bending it, it'd be misalignment causing additional bending loads in the rod. If the thrust bearing wears and the crankshaft moves forward then the piston and crank are no longer perfectly in line, if only by a few ten thousandths (quarters of a mil). This means during the power stroke the piston is ever so slightly trying to bend the rod, instead of the rod being in pure compression. Granted there's no such thing as pure compression, there's always some bending forces involved, but this would amplify it slightly and worse it'd be in the direction the rod is weakest - front to back rather than side to side. Now I have no idea if a worn thrust bearing misaligning the rod by a few thousandths would be enough to cause significant bending forces, but it would definitely be harder on the rods than if they were straight up and down so it certainly wouldn't help anything. I imagine it's more of a .01%-1% weaker type deal, not a 10% weaker type deal, so I still agree with your conclusion that typically it wouldn't be the issue, but with the caveat that if the rods were already near maximum stress it could be enough to push them over and cause a slight bend. I'd also add that if that force is applied over tens of thousands of miles it could cause some fatigue on the rod that may create that slight bend, even if the force isn't crazy high. Either way, if anyone was thinking it was the force of your foot bending the rods that was a wild misunderstanding I think.
@DieselPumpUK5 ай бұрын
Haha it’s b/s either way, the rod can slide forward backward on the crank more than the thrust or even a worn would allow. Regardless of which way you try to explain it, it’s an echo of a comment that’s come from either a very one off application (certainly not a 606) or from someone telling stories.

Cams typically spin at 1/2 speed of the crank. So while there will be imbalance at 3250 rpm, it's likely not near as noticeable as it would be at 6500.

Do you measure the main bearing clearance using a dial bore gauge or plastigauge and do you use the Mercedes specs? I haven't rebuilt any forced induction diesel engines but worked for a BMW race engine builder and we always ran looser on forced induction gasoline engines. The guys who trained me always said looser bearing clearances were safer to accommodate crankshaft flexing, main bore and rod bore distortion.
