Hmmm...very interesting. OK, thanks Mark.

 

Bull,<br>Anymore questions?

Most engine wear from people like us comes from High Horsepower that we are making our engines produce.

Starting up and warm up phase is probably a considerable amount of wear for a stock application truck. But marginal when you consider the power most of our trucks are producing (premature rod and main bearing wear come to mind).

PourinDiesel,

Lets say you take a 200 Hp Cummins 5.9L and Double the power to 400 HP (100%Gain) or Triple the Horsepower 600 HP (200% Gain)

What is your guess on the amount of increased load on the bearings?
At 400HP (100% more Power)

at 600HP (200% more Power)


You Tech nuts that know the answers please let a few members guess. :-X ;D


Thx Kurt

 

Is this where the the first is 2x then 4x then 8x? <br>I know something that does this when you make it bigger?<br>DM01

 

It's like the racing legend &quot;Grumpy&quot; Jenkins said once, every engine has a certian hp life. You can have a lot for 2 years, or a little over 10 years. I think there is a lot of truth to that.

 

Ummmmm.......... let me think.....................cary the 1..............................that would be 46

 

TXDieselKid, &quot;Grumpy Jenkins&quot; Probably didn't race a Cummins!!!!!! ;D 8)<br><br><br><br>OO LOLOLOLOLOL

 

Ok, here's my guess...NONE.<br><br>The bearings ride on a film of oil, as long as that is maintained, there would not really be more stress on them.<br>Well, maybe a little more compressive force, but not the rubbing one might imagine.<br><br>The rods and crank on the other hand...

 

VinDiesel, Your aren't too far off.

Also I should clarify... I am talking about Bearing Load which isn't exactly wear.

From doubling the Torque load the the &quot;PowerLoad&quot; increases about 20%. I will try to explain further tonight. I am a slow typer no matter how much coffee and Mountain Dew I have...

Sounds good till you start figuring in high boost and pump timing.

You don't think they play a role in bearing load and wear??
