Testing A Raisman Platt Crankshaft In An MS660

[Mastermind]

Just like the new fangled karts the kids here and in Europe race now.

Sheesh, back in my day it was all direct drive and bump start, you could see who the real drivers were on the corners.

Of course our mates in North America wimped out long ago, maybe forty years now ? and ran clutches and eventually we got soft and followed..... :monkey:

Americans.............................those bastards. :bang:

We used shopping carts. No clutch multiple drinks in hand and built in roll cage.

What the story with that can of nuts?

Does it follow Jon everywhere; even into the storeroom with the USC?

:confused2:

Them's wasabi peas, kemo-sabi! :jester:

I stumbled on the bleach thing after doing some research one day on what reacts with carbon.

It turns out, bleach has a specific reaction with the carbon, and actually turns it into this weird orange stuff (which cleans right off).

Kinda gross. . . Kinda neat.

Have you ever tried the bleach for de-carbing a cylinder?

No. . . I'd have to look it up again, but I think bleach and aluminum don't particularly care for each other.

A grabby chain is real good at breaking stuff. It can also take out the crank bearings, or even the bearing pocket in the case. I would venture to say that is what broke this crank. That, and the possibility of a bad crank to begin with.

Gotta rent the movie Chopper (2000) - IMDb

I swear Eric Bana was channeling Chopper Read when he portrayed him on film.
For those of us familiar with the real criminal it was a humourous, chilling and unbelievably real portrayal.

A few more pics.........The exhaust was just cleaned up a little and port matched to the muffler.

While he's working you could at least take the ####in' trash out.

I knew you would catch that full trash can.........I freaking knew it!!!!!!

That one was too easy, I didn't even mention that your lights are missing connectors and that could eventually cause a short.

The initial crank is around the root radius of the thread from about 3 to 11 o'clock. You can tell this because of the shiny surface where the crack has opened and closed resulting in a polished the surface. Then you see the beach marks from when the load was large enough to grow the crack with each cycle. Then the final fracture surface which is very coarse (darker area at 1:30) because it's pulled apart suddenly. This section is often at close to a 45 degree angle to the crack because this is the principle shear direction for the loading condition. I studied fatigue in college and worked in the Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics Laboratory for a while.

So, in your opinion, was this a defective parts? Or, was it a result of the graby chain, or ???
