yep as the title states how much rpm does it take to bend the cooling fins on an uno 999 alternator out until they rub on the casing
I had mine to I reckon 9000 rpm when I stook it in 2nd at 70mph oops as it happens it made lots of noise and didn't brake anything whatsoever (solid engine imo)
but today I had one come in at work with the cooling thins on the alternator bent out to the point were they were rubbing on the case
after the girl driving did a similar thing to me only at a much higher speed
so just thought i'd come to the uno section rather fittingly and let people have a guess at what rpm this would be or has anyone else managed to do this before
I have no idea what it actually was as it had no rev counter being a start ie
but I reckon 15000prm would do it
I just can't believe that this happened and didn't harm the engine atall
can anyone imagine what would happen if you took a ford CVH (considerable vibration and harshness) engine to anywhere near 9000rpm
