2 things: Will not get hot enough to burn water, ever. That temp is about as high as the melt point for most steel and Iron. 100c is the point where water vapor forms, not molecular separation. You see that in Magnesium fires, about 1900c. Second, thermal expansion takes energy, heat energy. When the cold water turns to steam, is is taking heat engery with it as it does so. Per Andrews post, its possible to get around that. I know it is, I just dont know how, and I'll refer back to steam engines. Back in the days of steam locomotives, some used a horizontal piston powered entirely by steam. They managed to get it to work, I'm sure we can do it today. So, simply, water turning to steam uses heat energy, and therefore dissipates heat. Though I doubt its enough to cool a big engine.

Problem, he's located a case crack. Is this a roll pin? Can this inspection plate be removed easily? Looks like whatever fastener that is, is in there too tight, or is too big. I will want to pop that cover to repair the crack, but it looks like theres shit going on in there, is it like a T-5 with the shifters dangling from it? I'm thinkin on just popping the pin and welding slowly, depends on whats on the other side of that case. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/3132/a835rx.jpg http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/1672/untitled6yj1.png http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6196/untitled20hb.png

You realy dont need that much water at all. Keep in mind, you're not filling the cylindar, you just want an expansion effect. Inside the extremely hot chamber, the water immediately turns to steam– expanding to 1600 times its volume. So, you have a 1000cc engine, 250 cc cylindar. That means you only .15625cc of water to expans to meet the volumetric requirement, your using 20cc of fuel (@ 12:1) . When you run water injection with a turbo setup, you use more water. Look at the noble old steam engine (pre-turbine). Many of those have been running for over a century. That's just it, it doesn't get realy hot. You're doing this every stroke. Its not like dumping water on a glowing block. However, I doubt the cooling effect will be of any use in larger engines. His tiny one is small enough to be air cooled alone. A V engine will still require a cooling system.

Now that is fricken sweet. At what rate does it use water? The efficienccy may be lost if you have to carry 18 gal of water on top of 18 gal of fuel.

all of those verbs should be "plans to". They haven'te even banged out a beleivable artist rendition.

OMFG teh Soldzor!

assembled, Never used. MVP Pro Lift engine stand, 750lb I think. Rotating engine mount, on castors. Bought a long time ago for something I never used it for. Shiney, pretty, red. Forgot what it cost, cant find them on the web, but new 750lb engine stands seem to be going for $75- 150. this'n = $50

It was a priject back in highschool woodshop, and my pair of dragons have been dead for years now. Its 6ft x 3ft x 3ft. Glass up front, plexi on 3 sides. Varnishe Red Cedar top and base which will accomodate a power strip and florescent light fixture, all out of sight. Pain in the ass to set up, so if you're local, I'll gladly help. Pictures of the parts available, I'm not going to set it up again untill it's sold. $200

Wicked awsome t-t-truck.

bollocks, we'll see how "Like new" the clutch is when I get it. The guy is swapping classes to one that requires stock motor/transmission, and hes got a motor up for sale, too. Any idea what kind of abuse this motor could have brought upon our humble transmission? Maybe 350bhp at the most?

I'm not white, I'm European American, fucking biggot racists!!

The bearing itself, though, is it special? I'm hoping its a $40 part just like all the others.

Since this is used, I'd like to intall a new pilot and throw out bearing. Are these ging to require special parts?

Absolutely. The IRL is the only racing environment in which: A: those cars B: Race at those tracks That accident wouldn't have happened anywhere but a super speedway, and of all the super speedway race cars, the IRL car is the most likely to get you killed in such accidents. NACSAR, he'd have walked away and made a and ESPN highlight reel. You dont have alot of options when you're balls out on a speedway, and the carbon fibre cursh caskets that the IRL races are simply dangerous, ask Gil Defaren. HEll, Formula One, ask Ralf Schumacher if carbon firbre cars belong on speedways.

...habbits of killing drivers: Very Unfortunate to see another young driver lost. When will drivers learn not to race those cars in that series?

Thar was on in my last post of that thread. http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/2539/bench0jr.jpg

I dont realy see a problem with that, as a costomer. I need my diff checked out, and My Guy is in Cincinatti, I dont want to hit the highway with potential disaster in the ass.

old but good. Technichaly, they'll all fiats.

dont suppose I could toss some stuff in your booth, consignment-like?

Has anyone used them? Seems to be an old Benz kinda shop.

It is ghetto, but ghetto in a traditional sense. Its a look that was pioneered in the states by old ass foreign women. They used it to hold bat their hair and absorb sweat when cleaning in hells kitchen. "Do Rags" are fucking rediculous, even if not ghetto.

Found this: http://www.campbellgeartech.com/images/tremec_tko_500_600.jpg Now I need the demensions of the scattersheild and the AOD, and I should be able to cook up a driveshaft lenth. I've been reading that most need them shortened by an inch, do any Mustang drive shafts come close to any of these measurements? 94-97 3.8L 4R70W 57" driveshaft (4R70W overall length 32") 89-95 3.8L M5R2 53.80" driveshaft (M5R2 overall length 35") 89-93 3.8L AOD 57.80" driveshaft (AOD overall length 31") 94-97 4.6L 4R70W 58.20" driveshaft (4R70W overall length 32") 93-98 Mark VIII 4R70W 58.20" driveshaft (4R70W overall length 32") 94-04 Crown Vic 4R70W 55.50" driveshaft (4R70W overall length 32")

I wont know about the drive shaft untill the tranny is in the car, since this is a Cougar and not a mustang. Unless you know the measurements of the TKO/scattersheild, and how long your driveshaft is. If it doesn't come with a shifter, I'll likely be after yours, though. This is what I'm getting in the package deal: -Tremec TKO 5spd (only 1 hour on the new case, the lower ears are welded) -Lakewood scatter shield -Flywheel and clutch included – both are in like new condition

lets see if this pic works: http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/2539/bench0jr.jpg
