Didn't watch all the way through. Don't put hard bolts or springs etc in citric acid and if using on cast iron keep it short.
Heat helps a lot with citric acid.

How about 360 crank is it really forged?
I have a factory block headed for a boost.
It's a street oriented build most likely blow  thru carb and single turbo, I know it'll be on borrowed time on a factory block but I'll give it a try.
I don't mind buying whole rotating set, but minimum being forged pistons and rods.
Question being how much whichever crank will hold?
Factory cast? Forged? Scat cast? Scat forged?

Allmoust forgot this and really don't know if anyone is interested but here goes anyway.
One of those to do things for me has been to watch Dragweek on spot but traveling to States and trip costs and ain't always possible. Last winter I decided I'll have to do some sort trip to watch drag and drive event and remembered Streetweek in Sweden in neighbor country. So called to my ex work buddy if he's up for a little road trip to Sweden and sure enough he was.
So we left Friday morning towards Turku with my 65 Gal. Weather  bit rainy but all and all nice so we got to near to Turku whitout any trouble rested there in small rental cabin and headed in the morning to ferry from Finland to Sweden.
In the evening we arrived to Stockholm and headed towards Linköping near the track of Mantorp.
Sunday morning we headed to track and got first minor hick up in our transport, Galaxie started to sputter at idle and finally lost its idle at the line to the track. My mate pushed the car to the track gate and we started wonder what's wrong. Car started after it had cooled down (totally my stupidity due last minute electric fuel pump assembly and putting fuel lines in the hottest place in engine bay...).
Well we got to track and went see the race .
To be continued cause this a bit hard on a mobile.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Track lok steel plates
« on: June 10, 2023, 02:59:43 PM »
Hi
Bought supposedly lightly used track lok while a ago.
It came already dismantled to me so can't be really sure was there just extra parts or what.
It had a 5 steel tab disc's 4 friction plates and one with a steel with friction on one side.
Seller told me that it came out of strange 9 inch rear wich toasted bearings after few thousand miles(true or not) and while he changed bearings he upgraded to a locker.
So it had one extra steel plate, is this common trick or just mishap.
First I assembled it with all the plates but didn't trust it so made a test bench to measure the breakaway torque but it was more than I could twist and my test bench would hold.

So has anyone seen this before?

Yep.
Slow but in the range of 5 to 10 seconds and I am on the other side of pond.
If I had to guess it's some sort Dos attack towards the server provider.
