 RTV Problems and Solutions

Mark, I know this "a day late & a dollar short" but;

The reverse problem can likely be alieviated by a) boosting the relief valve setting for reverse, and b) just barely creeping, even in a taller gear.

As for the horsepower, most 'Bota engines are built for, and used in, a range of horsepower. If the RTV motor is the bottom of the range it CAN be turned back up. Also, there are easy fixes for altitude problems. The simplest is Oxygen, it is readily available and a simple diving regulator and a small hose to the intake will move your location to as close to sea level as you desire.

Best of luck.

Actually, I was think a track kit in place of the wheels.

Bring it on over to the shop and we'll have lookey see.

I checked on Mapquest, it's only about 2,500 miles ... Laughing out loud

On the other hand, although spendy, the tracks in the link below would undoubtedly get you there and back.

Best of luck.

Dennis, I was talking about oxygen, and yes it is dangerous if not handled properly, but anything at 2500 psi is a potential hazard.

I see a lot of kids tearing up the roads with souped up imports sporting bottles of nitrous oxide. If I had one in anything short of a Sherman tank I'd be driving like I had a bomb on board.

Although, simple compressed air, provided it was compressed at a lower altitiude, would be a big help too.

Best of luck.

Mark, did your RTV make any smoke under load?

The reason I ask is that the usual way to tune a diesel engine is to balance the fuel & air mixture.

If yours smoked, it's starving for air, if not, it's likely not getting enough fuel.

If they have no control over less (or thinner) air the normal reaction would be to turn down the amount of fuel to maintain the right proportions of air to fuel. In fact there really is no adjustment that can be made to the airflow to the engine so adjusting fuel is the only option.

In your case you need to go the other way around. You need to find a way to encourage more airflow. It might be worth an experiment. I would first hobble together some sort of temporary exhaust, less the muffler, and a little larger diameter if possible. Then ditch the factory air box in favour of a high flow K&N or similar air cone with a re-useable element.

I know on a pickup diesel, just those two changes will give as much as a 20% boost in power.

You may also find a tech or specialty diesel shop who can turn up the fuel delivery rate on your rig.

The other, more expensive option, would be to merely swap your fuel pump for the one for the next bigger 'Bota engine.

Some things to think about.

Best of luck.
