Sounds like something the insurance company should know about, that is asking for problems in a fire. I would suppose the coast guard has rules about that as well.
Remember the science was settled. Just like back when Fire, Earth, Air, and Water where considered the basic elements, and how if anyone called that wrong they likely were laughed at and ridiculed. :LOL:
Serious? You can't see that in due time all of those examples would have destroyed the engines? No the failure was the belts on most of them not the whole engine.
Diesels make black oil, oil change intervals? Manufactures say to extend the OCI.
Oh and one of them is a failed engine because of...
Sure here you go, and there are plenty more.
The important thing is, why do this ? It becomes a huge gamble to use this as a cam shaft drive system. If you wish to use belts, dry ones are the best, they don't pollute the lubrication system. They are easier to change, and don't require an oil...
And what does that get me? I will to the proper outfits.

I enjoy the videos of all the chunks of wet belts ending up in the oil pick up...
A fellow on youtube did a Toyota tear down of one of the problem engines. There was no sign of a debris related problem. That is why I doubt it for one. And two, what are the odd's that unrelated manufactures are all claiming that exact same problem.
There is more than one thing that is the...
In my opinion, the main problem for failures is cutting corners, the excuse I have read and heard is oil gallery debris. It seems those manufactures are too proud to ask for help from independent folks, like back in the 50's and 60's when the big 3 would call on people like Smokey Yunick, to...
What ID number for either material to use? May need to make a fitting for small water supply PE pipe.
I'm very familiar with 660 Bronze bearing material and know that would not be a good choice. Any advice is appreciated.
