Easy 30-40HP

[matthew86]

Any of you guys ever tried piston return springs? Seems like an easy thing to do when you have the heads off for some other reason. They say they work for gas and diesel rigs.

I wish they had machined recesses or space in the piston or head to actually try it

And, I believe their idea actually came from this spoof video

how do you guys think Baca's truck made almost 3k hp before it completely blew the f**k apart?? these were the answers....

Stop giving away all their secrets!

That would never work. The heat of combustion would kill the springs. Amateurs.

That's why I use airbags instead of springs in mine. When the air heats up it give more of a springy affect

progressive rate with both just an air bag and then heat mixed in, i like the thinking!

Only problem with it is the increased complexity. I've had to add a bunch of sealing rings on the pistons to try and keep the air in. Even with them it still leaks so I have a blower attached to the intake to keep pushing air in to replace the air that leaks out

Someone send this to banks so he can get it dialed in!

Should probably piggy back some opposing magnets on the head and piston and really bump up those horse torques

I did some work for a certain agency with 3 letters, back many years ago. I can’t go into specifics, but we paid off a security guard from Disney to open a vault from 1961. We acquired and applied flubber to the center of the pistons and allowed them to gently contact the heads, in between the valves. The hardest part was controlling a runaway situation because the rpm wanted to increase like mad as the flubber created almost a perpetual motion action.
