Yep. If you take care of your stuff and put it away and always set yourself up for the next thing you're gonna do, its not an issue.

I don't think that engine has any 10mm nuts or bolts on it

Still missing that 10mm socket though

Well said, well said

This ain't your Jeffy Lube😂😂

And that is why no one will remember your name...

@@DavidErresesions You missed the joke....

@@Spacegoat92 I just love thinking of Jesus Christ working as a top fuel mechanic

Think about the guy tearing down the bottom end. All that hot oil dripping down on you. 🙁

and longer.

It is! I think people forget about is finding dry cleaners and hoping you gel with everyone and do everything perfectly! And lots and lots of traveling! 😂🤘

NO! not unsupervised at full speed at least. some guys can once they've spent time at every job, but not everybody can. but there is usually a progressive learning curve. the orchestra would be messed up if bodies were moved around to different jobs. if you ever watch on TV and hear how they are talking about a team having an all volunteer crew or local hires who don't usually work together taking a lot longer in turn around time, this is what they are talking about. it's like the difference between a militia and an active duty military unit when it comes to proficiency.

@@slowpoke96Z28 yup. I’ve been active duty Air Force and there’s a visible difference in the timing and how in sync things were on the flight line from active duty Guys to guard/reserve. It’s hard to compare the 2 unless you understand the process of course in this case I’m referring to getting aircraft ready to fly from the time the crew shows to marshaling them out.

I think they are just re ringing it with new bearings. you can see the honing tool being used at the end.

They but a replacement rack in it (pistons,rods,bearings) the top teams will use new on each run,but lots of teams will check that an item is within spec,catalogue how many runs its had and re use it.

​@@brianiswrong thats what i thought i know about block just wanted to know about the internals

after every race the car does. multiple times per race day

Yeaaa, I would trust these guys just a little more lol.

From what I've seen it's a bit of both they check some of the components and spec them out n from there they replace what they need to since most components wear out after one pass

carbon deposit from oil, the piston head get extremely hot and cause that black coating

1,000 feet. 3.6x seconds for the 300" and a couple tenths slower for the funny car.

Pretty wild. The engine turns only about 1000 revolutions between each teardown.

part is maintenance, part is tuning. the maintenance part is the friction babbitt bearings on the crankshaft. they get beat to near death, so they have to be examined and replaced. there's some forensics going on too. how they are worn and how much tell a story of how the engine ran. the tuning comes with the selection of the pistons, the head gasket, and the heads to achieve a specific compression ratio. since the rods are aluminum, they get pounded shorter, which changes the piston to deck measurement, which changes compression. the head gasket thickness can be varied to change compression. the cylinder heads can be selected by their combustion chamber volume to change compression. those are all why the long block comes apart after each run. and that's if nothing was hurt on the pass. the clutch and the supercharger get their own workover as well, clutch more so than supercharger.

@@slowpoke96Z28 damn man... That's a little of shit for 1 pass, but it makes sense tho! I figured there was heavy wear on the parts, but didn't factor in the changing tolerances due to such heavy immediate wear. Thanks for taking my question seriously 🤙

Go to a race and offer help to teams for free to get the experience and your name out there. Most teams especially the smaller ones are looking for a helping hand especially if the helping hand doesn’t cost them extra.

KZfaq comments section isn’t the place to apply

After the NASCAR ban of the Hemi They went drag racing and haven't stopped

you mean reciprocating piston ice at this displacement. there are a lot of internal combustion engines that make more power, more torque, and for way more than 5 seconds at a time. to appreciate what these engines do, you gotta understand what the others do too.

@@slowpoke96Z28 no! Top fuelers are the badest ,fastest engines on the planet.nothing faster at the strip.

@@deansmiley8221 lol

@@slowpoke96Z28 guvr me another 500 cubic inch engine making 10,000 horsepower...I'll wait.

Allows the cylinder sleeves to stay inside the block on teardown. When the block is hot, they are literally held down by the heads Edit: I asked a buddy that used to work on these cars, I was curious myself.

@@SC457A THX

@@SC457A this is correct the sleeves will come out when the bottom end guy is turning the crank

Yepp at this level they spend anywhere from $100,000-$300,000 per race. Diff teams have diff budgets.

The bolt is too scared to strip

@@gangstapat4802 LMAO😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Just back it off quarter turn lolz

depends on where. non pressure parts that can get a timsert faster than the part can be replaced will get a timesert. others will be replaced with a spare from the trailer. that's why an organized trailer is important, and knowing where things are on said trailer. newbies are quizzed on where random things are on the trailer until they've learned it all.
