mahvelous! |

Speaking
of IndyCar, here's one of the display cars in the History
of the Indy 500 exhibit. |
The
MPMC Education Day is attendees' chance to receive product
info direct from the manufacturers. That's awesome! |
Hot
Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge |
|
|
The
Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge is one of the most
exciting things you'll see at PRI. Hot Rodders of Tomorrow
is a nationwide high school engine building competition.
The event itself resembles the tear down between rounds
at a drag race. The engines are identically prepared small
block Chevys.
|
 |
|
Students
must properly disassemble the engine using hand tools only
with proper detorque and disassembly procedure. Air cleaner,
carb, distributor wires, spark plugs, manifold, headers,
heads, lifters, rocker arms, push rods, timing chain and
cover. Oil filter, oil pan, oil pump, and all eight pistons.
The cam and crank remain in the block.
|
 |
|
The
team then returns behind their bench and when called back,
begins working to reassemble once again with correct assembly
procedure and torque specs, all while being viewed by judges
and spectators.
|
| |
|
Time
added penalties for dropped components, improper disassembly,
assembly, sportsmanship, etc. will be added to ensure correct
assembly.
|
|
|
The
engines when reassembled should fire up and run if gas,
water, and oil were added. The team with the fastest time
including penalty minutes wins.
