poor kid...

It's not that uncommon in marine diesel engines to stop them, shift the cams, and restart them running backwards for backing.

he was just joking

CPPs for the win though.

I dunno about the idea but that forums seem pretty funny
:lol:

thats totally different though ... rofl

and is it still the same way with modern marine diesels? or do they have a backing gear built into the reducer.

AFAIK it's still common especially with ship sized installations.

i know that we have a bunch of ex-marine usage EMD 16-645E3B's and E3D's in our rebuilt locomotives, they are "port side" units which means they ran in "reverse" all the time and "forward" when in "reverse"

confuzzled my self a little bit with that one.

Marine diesel isn't the only place that that's used; there were even some small, low-production microcars that reversed that way, and all sorts of other industrial engines. My guess is this is a case of A Little Knowledge Is A dangerous Thing, not unlike the guy who tried to port-and-polish his motor by letting the intake suck up blasting sand. He heard about engines that do that somewhere else and apparently lived under a rock henceforth. The stupidity of some people amazes me.

A friend of mine was off roading on his Husky 400 motocross bike. He stalled it going up a steep hill and decided to coast it back down on compression. It started up running backwards and he had about as spectacular a crash as I've ever seen.

Another was climbing a steep hill on his Honda three-wheeler. It started to spin the tires so he put his feet down. The tires ran up the backs of his legs jerking him backwards which caused him to open the throttle wide open, splitting his crotch across the gas tank, and eating him alive.

I am a member on that forum and the guy that posted about the turbo going in reverse is not the brightest person ever lol

The guys name is Bill Gutman. I was speaking in hyperbole. In truth he racked his balls and peeled the hide from the backs of his legs. It was his remark that it ate him alive. What made it worse was he was demonstrating the machine to a potential costomer.

Bills brother Mike was a salesman at the local Chevy dealer. He had been caught flagrante delicto with another guys wife and received a gunshot wound in the process. I had ordered a new El Camino pickup from him and noticed that when it arrived in the local railroad yards that it sat unmoved for several days. I called to ask what the problem was and he said that it'd take a while to shake somebody loose to unload it. I told him that if he didn't get busy I was going to bail the cuckhold husband out of jail, buy him a bigger gun, and give him shooting lessons. The El Camino was delivered that afternoon.

fail.

Ah, gotcha.

This one time I was flying to the moon, and I had to stop at an intergalactic fuel station because my space-gas was almost out. The alien working there wanted to charge me a space tax for having a ship larger than four kelorthans. I said if he doesn't stop making up space taxes, I would call his wife and tell her he's been probing other women. I got a full tank of space-gas for free.

in after dkoz story :p

This one time, while I was out test driving a 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car, I pulled up at a stoplight next to this kid I knew from high school in his 1994 Honda Accord. He challenged me to a race, he said if he won he could brag about it to everyone he knew. I told him if I won then I could tell everyone I knew how much his girlfriend has been screwing around with other guys. So we raced, I won, I told everyone I knew and in the end I went over and messed around with his girlfriend. In the 1977 Lincoln.

Yeah, throw Koz under the bus!! LOL!!
A guy gets on the bus in Chicago and asks the driver, "Hey buddy! Does this bus go to da Loop"? The bus driver says, "Naw! It goes Beep! Beep!"

I couldn't stop laughing at this.... :lol: :lol:

I saw that and swiped it immediately.

Hahaha, what the ****?

this post was pretty funny though...

geez, you guys post quickly, I was busy running an experiment to try to figure this out for myself

I was thinking "how can you prove that the engine is running backwards" when it hit me, I can use a balloon. So I got a balloon and put it around the exhaust tip. I figured when I start the car it will inflate, but when I put it in reverse it will suck the air and balloon back in. So I started the car up and went in reverse about 10 feet then turned the car off. I went and checked the tail pipe and sure enough there was no balloon, it got sucked inside the tail pipe. So I got back in the car, started it up and drove forward about 5 feet. I got out and looked on the ground and the balloon was right behind the tip. So when I pulled forward it shot the balloon that was in the exhaust back out and thats why it was on the ground.

So yea, engine runs in reverse in reverse, now I just need to do it again and see if I get full boost.

That explains why when I walk backwards my shorts get in the crack of my butt and when I walk forward again I fart.
