mossrider Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 And the quest continues. Andy Palmer, always pushing the boundaries, found the mechanical limits of the stock motor cases recently as he continues to fiddle with peak motor performance. He cracked the engine case during a recent motor test on an engine dyno @ 124 brake hp. (roughly equivalent to 105+ hp on a chassis dyno) Good times! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1040126719529121&set=a.312344758973991&type=3&eid=ARCn7GP1oU3m3qQsT9zllGGXAP1aq-_x8j15OlTeNf7nYCCw00ikfuVDIe_YQTIREjzYa4hxUePwKgOv Now we know.

Andy said he's just pushing the envelope and cracked the cases through one of the main bearing races. Getting crank flex which found its weak spot.
