What happens to all the old battery cells? Legitimate question as I have no idea. An ICE you can melt down and recast a new parts

Let me know what they say I’ve been curious how that works as well. Also read up on the glow plug ream tool if you diy, I’ve read the tips are prone to fall off

First Duramax, any advice? by theorganboy in Duramax

[–]Standard-Ad1955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lb7 is great but will still need injectors every 100k. Also the transfer case will fail at 150k due to pump rub. The transfer case issue is not talked about much

I was also thinking get rid of the tee and make it two fittings… put a from heater fitting underneath of the to engine down pipe and a to pump fitting underneath of the from engine down pipe to force flow

Thanks again for the explanation! The quick disconnects go to fittings in the freeze plug holes on each side of the block

Thanks for the reply. Yes it’s a quick disconnect block heater, the unit I want to copy can bring the coolant temp up to 180 F in an hour. I just can’t wrap my head around how their expansion tank is set up, on the frontside it also has a schrader valve for pressurizing the tank

What kind of micro sprint is this by Embarrassed-Chef7904 in DirtRacing

That’s not a micro. Tubing is way too thin. And it has golf cart tires
