Presentation Transcript

  1. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Connecting rods • tensile loads • reduce reciprocating weight • improve fasteners • aftermarket rods

  2. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Pistons • light and strong • .200” crown thickness • end gaps with hypereutectic pistons • coated piston skirts • effects of increased clearance? • more cam for less clearance

  3. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Rings • frictional losses • thin rings reduce friction • Moly rings for less scuff and friction • more end gap for second ring

  4. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Springs • increased pressure • increased strain on valve train parts • friction dampers generate heat • oil cools springs, but adds to consumption

  5. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Pushrods and rockers • shafts are more stable than pivot balls • pushrod guide plates • stud girdles help stabilize rockers • increased rocker ratios increase area under curve • - also increase wear

  6. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability OHC valve trains • some have rocker ratios • spring pressure much less than OHV

  7. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Oiling systems • larger pan, windage tray, baffles • high volume pumps to maintain pressure • volume up 5x for 2x increase in clearance

  8. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Bearing properties • corrosion resistance • strength • wear • embedability • conformability

  9. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Bearing materials • Babbitt • Conventional – poor strength • Thin – poor conformability & embedability • Sintered copper-tin-lead • Poor corrosion resistance & wear • Metal powders on steel backing

  10. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Bearing materials • Cast copper-lead • Heavy duty applications • Excellent strength & corrosion • Other properties good • Non-overplated aluminum • Wear & corrosion - good

  11. Performance engine preparation • Improving reliability Bearing materials • Overplated aluminum • Uses silicon for durability • Used by OEMs
