    This was amazing. Very, very cool to see. Watching that rocker assembly come out as 1 unit blew my mind. Really, really good to see inside the M113K finally. It inspires me to dig in to why I get ticking above 2500 RPM in my M113 in my C55 when the engine is cold. I think the front cover has to come off.

      that was only for the F1 race engines back in the day when F1 cars were angry turbocharged 1000+hp monsters. The blocks were taken from cars that drove quite some distance and left outside, the reasoning was that any fault would have shown itself by then...if it was still good = flawless block, ready to be destroyed after one race ;-)

    • @shazadbukhari7291
      @shazadbukhari7291 Před 3 lety +3

      Yes that was for the M series engine on old E30 actually
      Not only rain, in the documentary the German technician said we even urinated on it few times 😂. Apparently it was because the first version block was prone to cracking or something. So they made a new version and part of the testing phase was to leave it outside in freezing conditions etc.

    • @dp8685
      @dp8685 Před 3 lety

      Jayden s That was called weathering. Honda did it first by taking road going car engines that had done at least 50k then rebuilt for F1. Modern day heat treating and materials, coatings eliminate the need to do this anymore. This was one of Honda unknown secrets to reliability and power for quite a while in 80s. As there was less expansion on engine parts tighter tolerances could be used to gain hp without extra friction.

    •  Před 3 lety

      O-rings still good on an old poorly maintained engine. Looks like a good design, and a not a problem. I guess that is why when taken care of, these can go over 400,000 miles.
