Please don’t stop on the M3 track car content. The growing pains and heartache are probably some of the most important parts of an expansive build like this that don’t get shown enough. But this is the reality, you build a car like this, test it, diagnose issues, fix it, and then repeat the process until you are confident in the vehicle. And I greatly appreciate you bringing us along for the ride!

@IdEk5627 28 күн бұрын

I would go back and talk to smedding about this. They tuned it and built the motor so they would be the best person tell u. If they let it rev to 6900 and they didn't put proper valve spring for u to rev that high that would kinda be a blunder on them. Also good for them to know so it doesn't happen to their future motors

@naufalkusumah2192 28 күн бұрын

Yeah they kinda let him down honestly. The damage wasn't because of fuel leaning out or lack of oil, not "operational error" per se. This is more technical issue where the valve floats and got hit by the piston, Smedding should've accounted for it.

@johnhufnagel 28 күн бұрын

I don't know if E85 does the same thing that methanol-powered engines do, but if it attracts water, and they let the engine sit, the contaminated oil (oil always gets fuel contamination, no matter what) could have attracted moisture to the valve spring, and if the spring had a weak spot/defect, it could have corroded. then when he fired the car up after sitting for years, it was just a matter of time before it broke. an image autopsy of the broken spring will tell on this. also, there's a Steve Morris video about this exact problem with methanol engines and sitting. apparently methanol is WAY more nasty though. part of the fix is, don't let an E85 fueled engine sit for long periods of time. or if you need to, run it on ethanol free gas for a while and change the oil before storing it.

Head has to go to machine shop and get resurfaced anyway 🤷🏽‍♂️

@ConstitutionalFreedomFighter 27 күн бұрын

@@Notdb1gabe Both heads should go and combustion chambers measured so as to mill the minimum off as possible. Sliding it across a dirty concrete floor could put an unnecessarily deep gouge in it that requires more material to be removed. Since only one head is off that could result in slightly different cylinder pressure on that bank. Plus the head might have been perfectly fine and not have required any surfacing. Anyway you look at it, it was a bad move. I'd never do it.

Anyone whos owned, modified and wrenched on things with a motor always has that one project that just fights you through it's entire existence. I think the struggle car balances out the channel. There should always be a struggle car that infuriates you and illustrates that aspect of the hobby/life. Keep showing the grit and determination thats needed to see a tough project through and how it can be an emotional rollercoaster. That's a real part of being a car guy!

Wow, lot going on in this episode. RIP KB. I followed him for a long time. Being a course marshal for Stage and TSD rally competitions, we crossed paths a couple times. Favorite build was the RaptorTrax. I think Hoonigan did some great things, but I also think it had run its course. But at the same time it freed you up to get back to driving cars instead of a desk. And after seeing some of the old highlights, you look better without the full beard. 🤣
