2200hp Quad-turbo big block gasser

[HoleshotHolset]

This article describes the most bad***** engine buildup I have ever seen/heard/etc. I apologize in advance if anyone has already seen this...but I'm sure someone will get something out of it.

Here's the link.

There's LOTS of good info within this article.

I really liked this paragraph:

"Probably the wildest O-ring in the engine is the silver-plated, nitrogen-filled, aluminum tube O-ring used to seal the combustion chambers. These O-rings are similar to technology used in Meaney's BB/A turbo drag race engine and come from England. Moran has them custom-built for his application and feels they are the future. "We run peak combustion pressures that are right at the limit of a solid copper gasket," Mike says. The nitrogen in the O-rings expands as the engine gets hot and does a great job sealing the head to the block no matter what the pressure. About the only negative we've have seen is when they're cold, they bleed off a little combustion pressure. But we don't race when the engine is cold, so I consider them a great solution." "

Perhaps these could (or already have...) worked their way into a diesel application.

Can you say....BAD*****??!!
