Is that like 'basting' or 'roasting'? (footballers partake in the latter, I believe):
"The most worrying aspect of this footballers' culture, however, is its regressive attitude towards women. It has been claimed that young football players often practice "roasting", where they will all have sex with the same groupie. There is nothing wrong with consensual group sex, and much of the lascivious reporting of this issue has been tainted with prudery. Yet it appears to reveal a troubling underlying attitude which is also apparent in internet porn, which is overwhelmingly aggressive and based on degrading women."

I have always been advised that wherever it is possible, give the engine a sustained burst in higher than usual revs. I wondered if cruising at 1400 or 1500 rpm where 'safe' instead of 1100 or 1200 rpm for a short burst is sufficient. Obviously on a river it's much easier to have a 'thrape' at really high revs. Alternatively I wondered if giving the engine a sustained blast of high revs whilst out of gear will have the same effect ? Rog You don't necessarily need to thrash the living daylights out of it. I think I've mainly been lucky because we do long days of 5-8 hrs cruising as a rule, and that has seen the engine running to temperature. I think short trips for the last three months straight after winter buggered this one. We've done five hours today, and when I pulled in the engine was sounding sweet as a nut. I went above a thousand on a couple of stretches, and I figure that was enough. Fucked now because I'm not allowed through the tunnel yet 😕

Thrape To "thrape" is to drive your vehicle (car or motorbike) very hard and very fast having loads of fun doing it I thraped the bollox off it up the motorway. #thraip#thrash#boot#welly#wellie by HamishC August 29, 2006

Thanks @bedruthan ... it's difficult to thrape it on a muddy ditch that's barely six inches deeper than our prop.
Doing 1400 rpm on a shallow canal is about as heavy duty as I can go.
Obviously revving out of gear won't do it ... must be underload.

You could run it in gear (tied up securely) so long as the bank was piled or concrete. A chap I once knew with a wooden motor that had a classic engine of some sort used to do it regularly.

Obviously revving out of gear won't do it ... must be underload. Rog I know that if you give it some oil too much on a narrow canal it will start sucking the bottom but at the end of the day provided the banks are well constructed and no nesting birds the act of sucking the bottom will provide the extra load for the engine. There are risks associated with sucking the bottom too much and potential for prop fouling or picking up logs so I don't advocate it specifically as an alternative to thraping and it is definitely less enjoyable. However if you want a short sharp high engine loading then you could do worse than sucking the bottom, for a short time and subject to caveats.

Get the make/type/model No. and/or spec. of the original plugs and shop around Diesel Fuel Injection specialists and some of the big motor factor groups like Euro Car Parts. It's very unlikely that those particular glowplugs will only have been used in that make and model of engine.

HAVE to buy the whole assembly which was circa 50 quid from engines plus but they were apologetic about it and it did come with a filter attached... Of course , I've put the new screw in and lost the assembly somewhere on the boat.

Suppliers make a killing from people who can't specify the ickle part they need beyond which motor it's for. Grrr.
