listen, i understand wanting to put poo poo in the valley. it's just normally wasted space but anytime someone does it, it's a delayed gently caress you to anyone who ever has to work on that engine

It is free real estate, so what would realistically not suck if you put it there?

air cleaner optionally, between the air cleaner on top and the v underneath, one or more carburetors, or perhaps a blower, or both also, intake headers of course, that's implied by the above e. technically, these things suck, lol Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 19:55 on May 9, 2024 |

Yeah, the Northstar placed the starter there. Of course plenty of turbo motors (i.e. Ford Powerstroke) have turbo there for maximum thermal efficiency.

So did the Toyota UZ family of engines, but I give both them and GM a free pass on that because at least they didn't also put the alternator there. I don't think anyone has actually. I hope no one ever does.

Colostomy Bag posted:Of course plenty of turbo motors (i.e. Ford Powerstroke) have turbo there for minimum flat-rate efficiency. Fixed it for you. When you look at the packaging of the Pentastar, where else would you stick the integrated oil cooler/filter assembly? The exhausts and its cats are right there in the way of the block, plus the engine mounts. The accessory drive equipment is strewn all around the front two cylinders. Early Ford mods put the alternator down in the valley. It's mostly easy to get at though. The real answer is you put a bunch of flimsy engine sensors in the valley. Like knock sensors and cam/crank pick ups. So it's a 10 hour job to implement a fix.

I read the whole stupid thing. A different service center thought it looked like warranty work. Sounds like a lovely service manager who saw broken glass and opened his mouth before having the vehicle on front of him:

Beat those motherfuckers with a baseball bat. I tried to drive away but I couldn't get far cause the poorly placed starter wouldn't start my car. Can't drive this cause the starter is dead. I'm trying not to lose my head.

This is a very interesting watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15FIY9XHJA0 And then in the comments it's even more interesting quote:I've seen this failure before. It isn't a forging defect, it's an INGOT defect. When the ingot cools, the top end of the ingot shrinks and there is a giant divot that forms. When the ingot is reduced in size by hammering it is customary to first cut part of the ingot off where the divot is. Any remaining part of the divot is hammered shut by the initial forging but sometimes the two sides don't weld themselves back together and you get what I believe are called "cold shuts". As the ingot is reduced in size more and more until it is turned into a billet, the cold shut will be there waiting right in the middle of the billet. It is pretty rare, but it can happen. I saw this happen on a giant steel flex disk produced by Leningrad Metal Works. It caused some panic as it was on a 50+ year old machine and we had to figure out it this was going to happen to all the other flex disks (24) or if it was a singularity.

Lot of interesting stuff there but the guys son, who is very confident about this being a flat plane crank, is very very wrong, those engines were always cross plane.
