093- Power and Speed - Octopus - Rod Bolts - Callers

093- Power and Speed - Octopus - Rod Bolts - Callers

Author: Readington Digital January 26, 2017 Duration: 1:32:36

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Tom is has returned from Japan.

Finally, Tom returns.  He was in Japan for a trade show.  It sounds like it was actually pretty interesting as long as you like octopus.  He's a sick man, what can we say.

The plan was to discuss Drag Week, and that was a complete swing and a miss.  We need to get Tim from Coast and Howard from Redline in the near future to go over the loose ends.  We will save that for another show.

Somehow the topic of rod bolts and engine building gets started.  Rod bots are by far the most stressed, as well as important, bolt in any engine assembly.  There has been lots of discussion of torque, stretch, angle, and a variety of combinations.  Mike is a straight up "know what you are working with, use your torque wrench guy".  Tom sounds a little more of a stretch guy, and they both agree angle is a little strange overall.  Lubes, torque wrenches, and techniques are discussed.  It's not super high level stuff, but it is stuff you need to know to be successful at preventing an oil pan failure.

Next Injector Dynamics Paul Yaw will be on.  This has been a much anticipated guest, and we hope all you guys get questions together and send them on Facebook.... or better yet CALL.  The guys will pick you up.

Live again next week Monday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com.  Call in number 908 751 0211.  Live callers welcome, and this will be the line for giveaways.

Hosted by Mike, Tom, and Tad, The Power and Speed Podcast digs into the raw, unfiltered world of automotive performance, where those two concepts reign supreme. This isn't a polished studio show; it's a garage conversation that roams wherever the scent of racing fuel leads. One week, the discussion might dissect the engineering behind blistering runs at the Texas Mile, and the next, it could drop you into the gritty, spontaneous atmosphere of local street and grudge racing scenes. The podcast regularly features voices from across the racing spectrum, from top-tier professional drivers to the master builders behind the engines and chassis that make extreme performance possible. You'll hear technical debates, personal stories from the track, and passionate explorations of whatever racing subject has the hosts' attention that week. Brought to you by Readington Digital, each episode is built for those who understand that in the pursuit of going faster, the details-and the people-are everything. Tune in for a genuine, wide-ranging take on the culture and mechanics of speed.
