TSP Level 2A-R (Larry's motor) Complete and Dyno tested.

Very Nice Larry!! Smooth runner not much lope. You can hear the valve trane is happy.
She will make instant power. Now you have to get the suspension to hook up the tires.
No six cylinder will be able to keep up. :TU:

 

Larry, sounds really great, just enough lope to let you know something potent is under the hood.
How soon before you can do some WOT testing?

Paul

 

Excellent Larry! I hope to be there Sat. and watch you tear up the track! What times would make you happy? :Brow:

Sounds great Larry :beers2:

 

Take me for a ride.........PA...LEEZ !

 

Ttt

 

Larry

Thanks for the update. Looks like you are covering all bases as far as fuel delivery and tuning.
I didn't want both the threads concerning your engine build getting buried.
Too much great information and they needed to come back to the top for any one that is new or missed them the first time.

Thanks again for sharing your project

Go kick some butt next year!

Just trying to keep these 3 post together.
Great reference material

 

Deer Park,Babylon here
Cruising 231/Channels parking lot where all the heavy hitters parked,like the Dodge boys duster,Tommys ("wholl stop the reign") corvette,Timmy Tullos Camaro
All 10sec or faster streetvcars in the mid 80s
Man i miss those days

Oh im old now lol

Any updates ? Get the fuel system squared away ?

 

Good luck. My guess is it picks up a bunch. Put new plugs in it at the track. Put some anti- seize on them if you are worried about cross threading on a hot engine, or let it cool then change them.

Looking forward to hearing some good numbers.

 

Jim, anti seize is a big no no on plugs, it will change the heat range of the plug and can cause the plug to be over tightened. This is why I won't use a non-coated plug ie: AC Delco or any other plug that the threaded part is black.

NGK recommends:
"Do not use anti-seize. Anti-seize reduces electrical and thermal conductivity between the spark plug and head; and increases the installed torque which can damage head threads. The spark plug holes must always be cleaned prior to installation, or you may be torquing against dirt or debris and the spark plug may actually end up under-torqued (dry threads), even though your torque wrench says otherwise.

All NGK Spark Plugs are manufactured with special shell plating on the metal body. The use of anti-seize on spark plugs is only recommended on those brands that do not offer a special metal shell plating. Install spark plugs with a compression gasket finger tight until seated and then turn 1/2 to 2/3 turns. Install spark plugs without a compression gasket (taper) finger tight until seated and then turn 1/16 turns."

Champion recommends:
"Champion recommends that you do not use an anti-seize compound, since one has already been applied to the plugs at the factory. Next, install the spark plugs finger tight and, if using a taper seat spark plug, use a ratchet to rotate 1/16 of a turn. If using a gasket seat type spark plug, after installing finger tight, turn 1/4 to 5/8 of a turn. If this procedure is followed, spark plugs will not back out nor will they seize in the cylinder head."

Autolite recommends:
"We do not recommend anti-seize. Install 14mm plugs in aluminum cylinder head at 20-30 Nm (15 - 22 foot pounds) with CLEAN and DRY threads. We do not recommend the use of any anti-seize products for installing spark plugs. Anti-seize compounds are typically composed of metallic, electrically conductive ingredients. If anti-seize compounds come in contact with the core nose of the plugs, it can lead to a misfire condition.

Anti-seize on the threads of your spark plugs will slow down the rate of heat transfer from the plug to the head. The worst place to use it is on the tapered seat, which is where the most heat transfer occurs between the spark plug and the cylinder head. Even just a small amount of anti-seize is the equivalent of using a hotter heat range spark plug.

Anti seize compounds can also have a torque multiplying effect when installing plugs. This can lead to thread distortion and thread galling resulting in cylinder head damage. Autolite spark plugs are nickel plated to resist the effects of corrosion and seizing."

Denso recommends:
"Do not use anti-seize. Installation Key Points: (1) The threaded area of the cylinder head must be clean. (2) Using your fingers, screw the spark plug into the cylinder head, and tighten about 1/4-1/2 turn with a plug wrench. (Taper seat plug: about 1/16 turn). (3) Tightening too much may cause distortion of the plug housing, and in extreme cases could cause engine damage. Therefore, proper installation of the spark plug is important for life and performance of the spark plug. (4) The installation procedures shown above apply to new spark plugs without lubricating the threads.

When using a torque wrench, install 14 mm spark plugs in an aluminum cylinder head at 20-30 Nm (14.8 - 22.1 foot pounds) with DRY threads."

Bosch recommends:
"Do not use anti-seize. Bosch small engine spark plugs are constructed with a nickel chromium ground electrode for consistent performance and prolonged service life; Nickel-plated rolled threads offer complete anti-seize and corrosion protection. Built to withstand extreme operating temperatures and give more power, Bosch Super Start is ideal for all small engine applications."
