poorboy Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 now why would over revving smash spark plugs? I,ve only worked on cars the last 25 years and just can't figure that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stsracer Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Im not sure Bruce I think maybe when Esslinger built this head they mighht have drilled and tapped #1and 4 spark plugs holes a little to far. If you rev the motor over 8500 or so it wilol close the gap on the plugs. It did the same crap on Ejs car. But I will get it that crap takin care of so I dont loose out again.

poorboy Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I wouldn't think anybody would purposely put a spark plug that close to a piston. Maybe you need to get some of those shims for indexing the plugs and shim them out about 5 or 10 thousanths . Or maybe shim them out the amount of the original gap that got closed up. Nick maybe they were some of those "air rods" you made along with that chassis. I hear they have more stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that you had to drive by the modified pit area & you were trying to show them what a four cylinder sounded like @ 15000 rpms. Probably spilt somebug spray on your car when you had it on your roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Nick maybe they were some of those "air rods" you made along with that chassis. I hear they have more stretch. Yeah. For only $7,500USD extra I throw in a set of the top secret Lighter than Air Rods and accompanying deformable piston tops with every Lighter than Air Chassis that I sell - and believe me, that's a lot since I only charge $20.000USD for one of those bad boys. These rods stretch to reduce the combustion chamber size by a very scientifically determined calibration algorithm. So your average 12:1 compression ratio can be increased to ... well.. the only limiting factor are those pesky spark plugs. Our next set of rods (under development as I type - the ad is in the mail as they say around here... ) will actually use a patented retractable spark plug design so that after an 18:1 compression ratio is detected by the integral software, the plugs actually retract and the car actually runs like a diesel with no spark plugs whatsoever. Of course, the deformable piston tops conform to the shape of the combustion chamber so the clearance problems have been entirely solved. Please don't anyone share this information with anyone because I don't want this technology copied before I get filthy rich. Pre-order for these new Lighter than Air Rods and retractable spark plugs are now being accepted. Just send a gas card for $25,000 to my home address. Thanks for reading.

Shawn B Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 these air rods,,,,,,,I was thinkin they work better in an aircool motor....they dont hold heat so your motor stay cooler too,,,,,,Nick if I send you money for these rods Do you clean them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't really ever thought about it before, but I guess Lighter than Air Rods when used in an air-cooled VW would be a natural fit, so to speak. Just send the $25,000USD gas card today and we can talk about who's responsible for cleaning those high-tech rods later on. By the way, bugin, I notice from a lot of your posts that you might be a natural fit to become a "raw material provider" at Nick's Lighter than Air Chassis, Fuel Department. As you know, methane gas, especially super high quality methane gas that comes from CC area folks, is used extensively in the Lighter than Air manufacturing process. You don't have to let me know anytime soon, however, since we already have on hand a huge supply generated from that part of the country over the past few weeks. Thanks for your interest in Lighter than Air products. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 i like you guys ..tims problem could be over rev ..had that with ours ...its rare but cut down 2.3 esslinger heads as in cast have done that many times ..our 2.0 will bend them only at 7000 plus ..so i have to index them at just the correct angle .... useualy only happens at 0 deck / with 80 to 130 thousands cut offthe head ..strange but it is true ......tim best get a flashlight and check those pistons good ..the plug you showed me took a purty good hit ..

bountyhunter Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 heres tims problem he has so much compression in that thing that the compression alone will close the gap on that bad boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 heres tims problem he has so much compression in that thing that the compression alone will close the gap on that bad boy I DONT KNOW ABOULT THAT ALL I KNOW IS HE WAS TURNING THAT MOTOR WAY UP THERE ..NOT THE 7500 OR SO HE SAID ..I WONT PUSH OUR'S THAT HIGH .AND IT HAS ALL THE GOOD STUFF IN IT TOO ..I BET THE CRANK WAS FLEXING ALL OVER ..THOSE 2.3 'S DO THAT ..LOL HE. MUST HAVE ALOT OF BBS IN THAT MOTOR IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ...OR HE WAS SAYING THOSE FAMOUS WORDS ..STP STP STP ..STAY TOGETHER PLEASE ...

Shawn B Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 All year Ive been changing my slow parts on the Bug.
