It appears your unit has a standard miniature T/C female connector on it, the one with the flat blades. You can get thermocouples in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Just make sure what you buy says "T

Whatever you choose, I'd recommend putting the engine RPM pickup on the flywheel ring gear teeth. We had ours on the injection pump gear initially and it varied wildly.

Nascar is exactly the same way. Carbureted, 2-valve, pushrod V8, with no electronic controls anywhere in the powertrain or suspension (I think they look the other way on the MSD boxes, those are getting pretty advanced). And yet Nascar is at the pinnacle of circle track racing. They aren't trying to advance the technology of motorsports, they are trying to put on a good show and make a lot o

I would treat them just like a spin on filter, and fill them with oil so you don't run the engine as long without oil. If you have an external oil pump you can even take the belt off and spin the pump by hand until it primes everything. On the SF I work on you can make the oil pressure gauge needle move by spinning the pump by hand.

A lot of people rag on the Super Farm class for some reason, but at least 95% of the time these tractors can make a complete pass and put on a good competitive show. I believe it's a lot better than some of these farm "stock" and hot farm classes where there is a 100 foot spread between first and last.
As for the original post, I too saw that on NTPA's site, googled it, and found the

I am sure part of it is that there is just not as much mindless destruction in tractor pulling as there is in monster truck "racing" or for that matter even on American Chopper. Sure occasionally one will go bang and blow the hood off with a brief fireball, or an axle will break and a tire will go off on its own. When is the last time you saw Bill Voreis or Brian Shramek kick the door in on the s

In the V8 world they usually fill the water jackets up to the bottom of the water inlet holes in the front of the block, reason being the cylinder wall casting gets thinner toward the bottom so the filler supports the thin area, but you still get water cooling.
That logic may or may not apply to your 407, but it definitely was thin in the upper half as well. I for one am not a fan of dry block

4-6 mph seems to be the usual speed limit range in my area. Much slower and it's super boring, much faster and it takes a lot more money to be competitive. I don't see the point of 8-10 mph limits, might as well just let them go wide open at that point because everyone has reworked pumps and non-factory turbos.

Probably could. Depends on how far off it is, but also depends on what you're doing with the engine and how much fuel and turbo you're cramming down its throat and how little water you're injecting (if any).

Can you see in the intake and exhaust ports to see if the head cracked and is dumping water in through one of the ports? By what you've described the block is completely full of filler, so no water down there at all?

I'm sure there's also a protest rule out there. If someone noticed it, they could have pointed it out to the techs along with the fee, instead of whine and complain.

That seems like a lot. Since alcohol will tend to burn cooler, probably stick with the stock specs. Maybe a thousandth or two looser on the exhaust side if you are really really nervous.

I read some instructions for the Moroso jacket filler once, I believe they recommended using an air hammer with a blunt chisel to vibrate the casting to let the air bubbles work their way out. Never tried it though.

As far as my rookie knowledge goes, injection pressure is set by the shim pack in the injectors. The adjustment on the pump is for volume. If the injector set point is lower, it'll open earlier in the pumping cycle and close later, and thus flow more fuel. Right?
To me it sounds like if that is the solution to get more fuel in, you actually need injectors that can flow more fuel...

I think puller X hit it best. You spend countless hours working on the thing, trying to eek out tiny bits of performance. You spend more hours hauling it down the road. You show up, and there's a big whiner session over something that's clearly stated in the rulebook, which they take a vote on about whether they're going to abide by the rulebook or not. Then you actually spend 30 s

It is all metric. It is similar to the 400 series IH all of you are familiar with, but the none of the major components (block casting, head, intake, timing cover) are the same.
