Joe Flanagan Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Safety wire on only one cap? Does that act like a lockwasher? That one rod must have been identified as a subversive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Joe if you look close the wire seems to be on all the main bearing bolts. And yes it keeps the bolts secured into their places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldodge41 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Notice what looks jam/locking nuts on the rod caps also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than any lock washer Joe....if done properly, 6 to 8 twists per inch, your safety wire job should look like this one...it ain't comin' off until you take it off.

P-12 Tommy Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 When I was in the Air Force I was a jet mechanic. We had to use those dreaded safety wire pliers. Half the time you would get to the end and put a pigtail on and the wire would snap. And you'd have to start over. Pain in the butt. lol Done properly though, you didn't have to worry bolts falling off. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Fred Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 right, this is classical bolt security. you see it on vintage airplanes and race car tech, like from the 20s. this is 70s russian military, however... but, come on, don't tell me cold war stuff from the US looks THAT much better;) i've seen things that tell other stories. but hey, the russians always did their very own crazy thingies. to me, it makes them very interesting. (as long as i don't have to own one myself...) i used to own a M72 flathead motorcycle, 750ccm boxer type engine. it's at my father's shed now and he doesn't want to give it back to me... this one i'd like to get back, ok, but the rest... i don't know. the construction might be 30s, but this engine is a 70s crate block for tank purposes. you should see the tranny, it's enormous! anyway, has anyone ever seen this type of construction on the pistons? and i'd really like to see a photo of D5 engine ports, are they the same or was it changed here for some reason?

41/53dodges Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 has anyone ever seen this type of construction on the pistons? I want to say i took some pistons out of an old combine engine that were like that, only a few of em' were like that though, that thing was a mess!
