Also, with head down flat (padded to,keep valves from,impacting bench.) use a deep socket larger than keepers but smaller than retainer. Like a 14mm, on an extension. Now smack the retainer a couple times. The keepers will pop right out. Getting em back on is the tough part.

Thanks crackerman. I'd rather either build or buy the correct tool.

More than likely, I'll find someone competent enough to install the bigger valves and the springs.

Regardless, I need one of the tools.

crackerman · 11-30-2016, 10:24 PM

i,used a large,c,clamp type valve spring compressor, and built an attachment out of a deep socket with sides cut out to bolt to top of compressor. Its simple, but works well. Ill look for pictures

*Bodacious* · 12-01-2016, 05:45 AM

Cool!! I'd say a small magnet or a very small set of needle nosed will also be in order???

crackerman · 12-01-2016, 12:27 PM

Yeah, magnet, and a pocket screw driver with grease to hold the keeper to install em.

I like it crackerman. I couldn't see the third leg in the pic but I bet it has one. lol

Small world, your truck got brought up tonight in a conversation with a friend of mine. It stemmed from talking about dale at mountaineer and how he had mentioned this build to my friend

*Bodacious* · 12-07-2016, 10:18 AM

Great!! I love Mr. Burns & Family. I hope it was good talk???

mfsuper90 · 12-07-2016, 11:13 AM

It was good. Neither of us really knew you, but I knew of this thread and he knew of what dale had said of your project. My buddy was asking dale if it was a merc 606, but I told him I thought it was a BMW.

The few pages I have read are great, i need take time to read it all!

Yes, please do. I get a little long winded sometimes.

mfsuper90 · 12-09-2016, 10:26 AM

Better to have too much than not enough. It's aggravating when people answer technical questions vaguely.

*Bodacious* · 12-31-2016, 05:53 AM

Stay tuned folks. Some things are happening right now that could throw this project in a whole other direction.

Would anyone be in objection to the original Bodacious staying cummins powered??

I'm working a deal right now with my son Craig. More to come soon.

jasonc · 12-31-2016, 08:04 AM

I would have loved to seen how it would have run without that huge boost leak, that was big.

*Bodacious* · 01-01-2017, 08:52 AM

As of this day 1/1/2017, my son Craig has full ownership of Bodacious.

Goals:
- Go ahead and back that cummins up just a tad more to see the magic 50/50
-1500HP single turbo fuel only
-run with the NMRO Class 3 and MRA Pro Stock/Outlaw Pro Stock
- Give his sister a hard time (Racing that is)
-Make sure Dad never beats Bodacious with a BMW powered anything!!!!
- Get it out by this race season!!

*Bodacious* · 01-01-2017, 09:27 AM

Forgot to mention the very first thing that going to happen.

Chassis gets squared and a full funny car cage added to the drivers side!!!

SmokeShow · 01-03-2017, 02:04 PM

So bodacious, whats YOUR plan for a new ride for the BMW powerplant?!?!

*Bodacious* · 01-04-2017, 04:52 AM

I'll probably stay with a ram 50 body. We have another complete truck. As it stands, it's looking like I'll be sucking hind tit for the rest of my racing career. lol

We will continue to progress with the BMW program. I'm getting help from folks that matter which I had really not expected.

I need one of you genius's to tell me how to hook the dang dry sump to the engine. The original BMW oil pump had and outlet for both sides of the block. So far, my best guess is to make sure both sides get a supply hose?????

With Craig's power potential, I'm not sure I'll ever make the kind of power needed to run with the 'ol Bodacious.

One thing for sure, if I can get Bodacious Too to a race weight of just under 2000lbs with me in it, the power to weight ratios are very close to the old truck.
