Re: Engine diapers on S/SS?
Naturally it will vary from car to car. But I was curious how long it can take to R&R a diaper.....in addition to the time if one had to pull a rod/piston!

Re: Engine diapers on S/SS?
Fact remains that a diaper will be a slight inconvenience for some (I’ve run them on my full chassis car without hesitation) and a major impact to others.
I’m going to provide an impact statement to my SRAC rep and see what happens. If I determine its cost prohibitive to install a blanket then this car goes to bracket mode with a mild engine.

[QUOTE=Pat6868;599120]Again, what percentage of stock eliminator cars oiled down tracks this year? The best way to get the diaper rule forced on stock racers is to keep talking

Re: Engine diapers on S/SS?
This diaper issue appeared about 5 years ago concerning Super Stockers. I jacked up my SS/GT truck and then Div. 1 tech director Bob Lang crawled under. He was in full agreement that there was no room to fit a diaper.

Re: Engine diapers on S/SS?
After seeing multiple incidents of oil downs over the years, I made the decision to put a diaper on both my bracket car AND my stocker. For me it’s about my own safety. I have personally had an occasion where I wished I had one( popped an oil line and got oil under the tires , saved the car but scary all the same).
I use the generic fit ones from summit/jegs. They don’t interfere with anything and only take minutes to install. I would have to pull my engine for a rod/ piston pull any way. My friends use the DRE brand on some of their cars. Excellent product. Safer is not sorry in my opinion. No downside to this accessory for me.
