I KILLED IT!

Guess what this is???

Damn, it died before it ever got installed into a car! 34 dyno hours and not even a clutch drop!

I have not seen this since the last 1500 H case that died about 10 years ago... AS 41 don't do this(it has but damn sure not this easy)... Hell this sucker is no better than a 1500 case!

When Brent spotted this as we were taking the engine off the dyno this morning I had a smile from ear to ear.. it was a sinister smile.

Mission accomplished!

Well, not all the way I'm gonna install it in the blue bug and go finish it off! Its not leaking oil yet so it must still have some life in it that I can wring out..

Crazy thing is that hot it still holds over 150 PSI compression all the way around..The engine sustained head temps over 450 degrees alot of the time with crappy systems and the #3-4 bank has seen over 520 for a short while. Those seats moved a tad bit but still seal off!

I'm gonna drill a hole on either side of the crack. (it goes all the way to the bottom of the case clear to the bell stud on the bottom of the 3-4 bank) and then use some Devcon Titanium putty on that sucker... We'll see how long it takes to start leaking or snap off the rest of the way....

Its time for hell to begin!

I KILLED IT!!!! YES!

Nope..... and I proved it. More came from this cooling system test than just testing cooling systems..

Is that the case itself? I am guessing that is the plug for the drivers bell housing bolt. just so I understand orientation.

Jake, what is your opinion on new Mag cases? I have a 72 AS41 case that needs a linebore and a thrust cut, but I am thinking of buying a new case. Maybe from CB Perf? Only building a 1915, CW crank, P/P 044's. probably 9:1 comp.. looks like a doghouse shroud with dual webber 44 idfs...

Yep... Thats right below the serrated- press in nut above the #3 cylinder..

AS 41 is about 1000 times better than this in my opinion. I have not seen this type of crack since an H case... They did this alot.

I am running a h case 1500 in my car. although I dont think it has enough power to do anything...

do you reccommend a new case. the local builder here says to just cut it 20thou and use an original case for a lower end engine.. just asking for opinions from people I respect. I trust him but like anything else get a second opinion.

Its all according to the rest of the case... Normally more things kill them for me than just align bore.

thanks for the input. My builder is supposed to be checking it out well. Maybe I will save my pennies on the case for a future turbo!!

Nice kill. That case looks so porus and rough. Drill a hole at the end of the crack and seal it with a .177 pellet from 20 yds. Does this mean that another "myth" has been discounted?

I would say that you cracked the case when your dyno let go, load had to go somewhere.

I thought about that, BUT the engine became totally free of the drive shaft. Look at the pics and you'll see that the shaft was wedged into the dyno torque tube, and not against the engine. The engine was still running with no load, when I shut it off.

The shaft was wedged so bad that it took two pry bars to remove it from the triangular supports on each side.

Also, this crack was not there yesterday morning.... I changed shroud so much on this thing and looked at that spot atleast a dozen times since the dyno let go.
