Eric,

Nope, When I go to matches, I toss my range bag and hard case in the back.

Is it possible to "explode" a 3FE ??

 

[cruiserdan]

Eduardo,

Yes, it is. 3F's have 4 main bearings as opposed to 7 in a 1FZ, as a result they do not like to rev high. In addition, they get VERY un-happy if they are over-heated or run low on oil.

So, beat 'em and they blow up. Be kind to them and they are like the Energizer Bunny.

I heard that the 91+ 3FE has 6 bearings vs the earlier 4.

This means it is one less than that silly later model "engine"

DK,

7 is a "lucky" number though. I've never heard anything special about 6.

 

[cruiserdan]

All F, 2F and 3F engines have 4 main bearings. 1FZ engines have 7 main bearings.

Dumb, but here it goes. Can you put a 94 trans into a 91 3FE?
