Bump the pump
Alright, im sure this has been covered 100 times over, and i know i read one at one point but the search button has let me down. Exactly which cover is the fuel screw under? I see the two bolt one in front of the pump, but i thought i recalled someone saying you need a mirror to see in it, maybe its just me, but i can get to it fine if thats it, havent pulled it open yet. For those that remember, as i think i have the HA model im planning on going 1 flat to see what i get from it till my pyro gets shipped and then ill play with it from there. The search did show me something about a torque screw, and i just wanted to clarify, that is only on the factory turbo IP's correct?

Hypereutectic aluminum will start to melt at 1250 degrees.
You do have piston oil squirters that cool the pistons, but they spray on the bottom.
Going above 1250 does not mean catastrophic instant engine failure, but it does mean you are putting a lot of heat into the engine oil and are in dangerous territory.
If you lug a diesel, you may freak when you see how hot a stock engine EGT can get that is not blowing black smoke.
