  Suggestion on getting air out of cooling system on a Cobra. Use a funnel with a plug. Lisle makes a nice one. When you have gotten the air air out and there is coolant left in the funnel, and there better be or you get to do it again, the plug will allow you to pour the extra coolant back into the jug.

  Just an FYI to help others. Called ARP and they couldn't, or wouldn't identify any of the numbers but said one number meant it was 4.75" long. Kinda just blew me off since I was a retail customer. Talked to Summit and he tried to be helpful and said none of the numbers were in their system but he thinks it was for a KB block years ago. Didn't know if it was a head or dampener stud. Without getting a good number from ARP he couldn't order it. Edit . . . delete irrelevant info.

• 
  @cobraengineering6 ай бұрын

  I updated the description with some research I did. I was able to find a kit number for the nut and one for a smaller OD washer. But a google search for the stud turned up several suppliers that claim to have stock. This is how I got the longer one myself. I hope this helps. If it becomes to much of an issue I will just order some and have a kit available at cost.

  Thank you for the additional effort, James. Reputable companies like Jegs & Summit indicate plainly state "not available".

Still a lot of educational value in your video. Thank you.

  @cobraengineering6 ай бұрын

  Yes. Even coyotes. Basically the crank diameter is too small for blowers when spun hard.

• 
  @JaegerWrenching6 ай бұрын

  Is the loss of the cross sectional area on the crank really worth it? I understand going to a larger diameter stud increases clamp force, and that really helps coupled with the installation of the diamond encrusted washers. I guess I'd like to see a graph of clamp force vs torque before slip of the diamond washers occurs. Also what is the peak torque input onto the crankshaft. That would determine if just using a stock diameter ARP stud and washers is good enough or if drilling the crank for a larger stud for more clamp force would pay off. I think the biggest pay off is the installation of diamond washers because it moves the torque input onto the larger diameter of the crank and further in.

• 
  @cobraengineering6 ай бұрын

  To start the first hole basically cuts the threads so there’s essentially no reduction in material strength. What I didn’t explain well in the video is that the standard bolt puts all the stress on that undercut. This is where the failure occurs. By moving it back it moves that stress to a larger diameter section. This actually compresses the small undercut instead of pulling on it. Keep in mind most failures happen with manual transmissions because of the radial force put on the crank from supper rpm changes. BTW I’m working on a real solution to this 😎

  Never bad questions. This is just to eliminate the solid crossover tube that gets in the way of some blowers and turbos. Also it simplifies the cooling system. But is not necessarily better than the oem setup if it’s working for you.

  Awesome video I'm about to reassemble a 97 cobra engine.. a few questions: - can I reuse any of my timing components? Guides/chains/tensioners? -Can I reuse my cam bolts and tray hardware? -Do I need a special tool to torque the cam bolts that holds the sprockets? -An lastly I had my oil cooler cleaned at the machine shop.. do I need new gaskets or take it apart to clean any further? Thanks an sorry for all the questions!

• 
  @cobraengineering10 ай бұрын

  You can reuse the guides and tensioners. But I would get new chains. You can reuse the hardware. But again I would get the ARP cam bolts. The special tool helps but a short 3/8 ratchet extension will fit in the back of the cams to hold them. It's a good idea to replace the o rings in the oil cooler. It's a known problem with them.
