"Diesel vehicles in Maricopa County are tested using the Society of Automotive Engineers J1667 test protocol, commonly referred to as the "snap-acceleration test." The test consists of measuring the opacity of three, wide open throttle, no-load accelerations from idle to maximum governed engine speed with the transmissions in neutral. The average opacity for the three accelerations cannot exceed the applicable standard for the model year of the engine. The maximum allowable for engine model year 1991 and newer is 40 percent opacity, for engine model year 1990 and older the maximum is 55 percent opacity."

I see the EPA is still on top of their brilliance game.......

Found something interesting when I was pulling the crank adapter off the last motor that was I the truck. It somehow twisted it.

Thats alot of movement. was it trying to shear the bolts off?

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Jul 10, 2014

No the bolts don't show any damage but it was enough it made the bolts come out hard and coming out at an angle

Did you have that adaptor off the crank before, at anytime?

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Jul 10, 2014

I didn't on this motor. This is out of the motor I got from Ben. It has been off before im sure

Could have been put on like that potentially? Seems like if that started to move with enough force to change the angle like you've shown it would shear those bolts right off with ease.

No there is no way it could have been put on like that. the threads would of been cross threaded like no other. it was bending the bolts when I was taking them out.

Ah makes sense, that is an impressive amount of force if those bolts were as tight as they are designed to be. Time for ARP to come out with a better option for bolts.

I've seen the TC bolts through a billet flex plate do the same thing, on a 600ish HP 5.9, using factory bolts.

We retapped all the threads in the TC and used grade 8 hardware when we put it all back together. Last time I heard, it was still going on the same TC and flex plate.

Went 10.3 fuel only last night with a soft launch and a absolute crap track. Won the class too.

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Jul 20, 2014

Also. Dropping icp to 2600 on the big end. Kinda disappointed with that
