Engine Locking up at 4000 rpm with with high value of dynamicFriction

I started making a V16 engine for the Gavril Bluebuck and I am using the 291 CUI 'Fleet-Power' V8 Engine as a baseline for the engine. I only increased friction and dynamicFriction a little bit for the engine. I made a custom long block in which all the specs are in the code below:

Code:

"bluebuck_engine_v8_small_internals_stage1_strong": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"Strong Stage 1 Performance Long Block",
        "value":2400,
    },
    "slotType" : "bluebuck_engine_v8_small_internals",
    "mainEngine":{
        "torqueModMult":[
            ["rpm", "torque"],
            [0,    1.80],
            [2500, 1.95],
            [4000, 2.87],
            [6000, 5.70],
            [8000, 6.50],
        ],
        //max rpm physically capable of
        "$+maxRPM":800,
        "$*friction":4.9,
        "$*dynamicFriction":35.95,
        "$*inertia":0.87,
        "$*engineBrakeTorque":1.32,
        //engine durability
        "cylinderWallTemperatureDamageThreshold":360,
        //"maxTorqueRating": 1230,
        //"maxOverTorqueDamage": 800,
        "$*maxTorqueRating": 3.35,
        "$*maxOverTorqueDamage": 3.5,

And for some reason the engine keeps locking up and breaking at 4000rpms. I have more than enough torque and horsepower to compensate for the friction and dynamicFriction.. I also have sufficient oil cooling and Radiator cooling as well, and also more than enough coolant, So I don't know what the issue could be.

 

your dynamic friction is extremely high. most engines have dynamic friction around 0.025. this, multiplied by 35.95, is almost 0.9, which is absolutely insanely high. dynamic friction should remain similar, only increase a little bit, and base friction should be what actually gets multiplied, although 4.9 also seems a bit excessive. you should also add more oil, if you haven't already.

in short, you have way too much dynamicFriction and possibly a bit too much friction, and not enough oil.

 

Thanks. I will add more oil and see if that helps. For the V16 it is currently at 18 for the oil. I tend to put the friction and dynamicFriction extremely high be I like the way the engine and exhaust sound.

 

friction and dynamicFriction don't change the way the engine sounds. 18L is plenty of oil, so i would just turn down your friction values, at least some.
