Or maybe these only go onto engines where they expect to do a full teardown and rebuild after every lap... EDIT: looks like the early versions from 10+ years ago used what looks like a standard giubo joint off a driveshaft. What's below is surely an iteration of that. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...2a805d8238.jpg No idea as to the back-story on this one. Just an engine which I found randomly laying at the side of the road: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4c5b240529.jpg About a half mile up the road was a Bud Light Chelada can. Coincidence? |

I do not know for sure, but some use a coupler with non-rigid inserts between the crank adapter and the compressor, sometimes in various spots.
Until I happened across that photo which I posted earlier, of the Roots-style blower bolted to the front of an engine, I had no idea that such things even existed. (I also had no idea that Olds had a marine diesel division.) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...5333a73922.png Also, why the hell are people leaving engines lying by the side of the road? It's not like they just spontaneously fall out of vehicles, and people are like "Eh, too much work to pick it up and haul it back." |

I assume everyone watched the finale last night. It was an extremely satisfying ending to a phenomenal series.
