Can a 3,000+ Horsepower diesel engine run 30 races without a failure? Can a 3,000+ Horsepower diesel engine run 30 races without a failure? Jeremy Wagler builds serious Diesel engines - 3,000+ Horsepower diesel engines! So when his engines started failing within the first race, they started looking for answers.
When diesel fuel doesn't burn, bad things happen. We have a solution. When diesel fuel doesn't burn, bad things happen. We have a solution. Fuel is the enemy of your diesel engine. Specifically, unburnt diesel fuel is the enemy. When diesel fuel doesn't burn, one of two bad things happen. The unburnt fuel goes past the rings and mixes with the oil, or the fuel carbonizes, which creates soot.
Can You Gain 300 HP Without Nitrous or Boost? 358 CI FORD Can You Gain 300 HP Without Nitrous or Boost? 358 CI FORD This old NASCAR engine sat for 20 years, and the dyno showed the engine only made 477 HP. Without increasing the displacement, changing the block, heads, crank, rods and manifold, we rebuilt the engine with new pistons, rings and valve train.
