Table of Fluid Bulk Modulus (K) Values​

There are bulk modulus values for solids (e.g., 160 GPa for steel; 443 GPa for diamond; 50 MPa for solid helium) and gases (e.g., 101 kPa for air at constant temperature), but the most common tables list values for liquids. Here are representative values, in both English and metric units:


English Units
(105 PSI)
SI Units
(109 Pa)
Acetone1.340.92
Benzene1.51.05
Carbon Tetrachloride1.911.32
Ethyl Alcohol1.541.06
Gasoline1.91.3
Glycerin6.314.35
ISO 32 Mineral Oil2.61.8
Kerosene1.91.3
Mercury41.428.5
Paraffin Oil2.411.66
Petrol1.55 - 2.161.07 - 1.49
Phosphate Ester4.43

So I say again. If you compress any of these liquids to 1000 psi under a clutch, they will all exert the same forces to push the clutch off. It does not matter if they lose a fraction of the volume from compression,, the same pressure reached will exert the same force on the clutch. Think about it, when you do the "water trick" you are pressing the liquid and if a particular liquid can compress a fraction, the bolt will only have to turn in a bit farther, and the same pressure will be achieved.

Say it a thousand times.
You yourself said one needs to turn a bit farther.
All liquids are not the same.
Many different ones can be used and results can and do vary with each clutch and situation.

Yes in theory the clutch bolt can turn farther but you can't measure compression of a liquid, outside a very high end laboratory that can produce extremely high pressures and actually has the measuring capabilities. For all practicle purposes liquids are not taken as "compressible".

Just heard from Polaris.

Warranty was up in January.

They are replacing the crankshaft, clutch, bolt and belt under “goodwill repair”

Can’t complain too much about that.
Are you going to have them do (pay) a top end while torn apart? By buddy's P-85 did the same thing with 1K miles and that's what he's doing

This is what I found when I was swapping to a P85.

150 miles on this P22. No scuffing or markings on the crank.

Most definitely a reminder to listen to TJ and lap this piece of **** if you decide to keep it.

Cheers
