Rod, Have a check on those weights again, Ti is heavier than aluminium.

If either of you guy's ever design an aeroplane - please let me know so I don't make a mistake and get on board !! Do you have any technical expertise to back up what you think ? There are older and wiser heads here that have seen the results of exploding flywheels/clutches, and it is never...

Sounds like he is "the right stuff", better looking than his dad too ! You have done something right John.

I had a similar situation. Check the main 120amp bolt in fuse at the main fuse box under hood. That was my problem. Engine would run - nothing else would work.

No, and if they were available they would be VERY expensive.

Many current cars run a concentric release bearing, including Holden and Saab, and they do not require removal twice a year to adjust. Your setup is WRONG! But if you want to run a fork and slave cyl, go to it.

You don't have to adjust free play with a concentric release bearing !!!!!!

You have not worked on a Lexus yet - have you ?? Have a look a an LS or a Soarer !

Why do you want it to point UP ??? It connects to the BOTTOM of the radiator, it is water into the engine !

Instead of trying to change the mentality of the Gold Coast (it will NEVER happen), why don't they take their money and support to Warwick. A town and council that supports motor sport, a great facility that can be expanded, and only 2 hours away !

Not in aviation or race cars, and metric standards are well below imperial standards. Seeing as the majority of the worlds hi tech items are manufactured in the USA and we buy most of our military hardware from the USA, it is surprising that our government has outlawed imperial dimensions. To...

That is the dia for the flywheel location spiggot John ! ID of spiggot bush housing is 31.9 mm. Need to fit a ball bearing, not a plain bush if you expect any life !

One off 4340 cr/mo sleeves would negate the concern and lighten the wallet ! The main problem would be a lack of support from the surrounding structure.

What is so auwful ? about 1uz heads ???? The main problem is manifolds and valve size. Also have to take issue with XR8, a spool on a circuit is a handful to drive. I have driven V8 sedans to 'open wheelers' with spools, and much prefer a cam and pawl. Great for drags though.

.040" off the heads ? Not that simple ! How are you going to get the manifold, water bridges, t/stat housing to fit afterwards ????? Camshaft timing each bank ??? The way to get the biggest increase in torque, is bigger inlet valves, 36mm is doable and will increase torque to around...

Got some pics ??

A local rally team have Catia as an 'in kind' sponsor. They wanted to design a cast turbo exhaust manifold. The entire engine compartment, engine and all auxiliarys were scaned and digitised. Problem solved ! Would not like to pay for it though !!!

Must be steel, copper is prone to work harden and crack. Would you run copper brake lines ?

If you live in Oz and it is Earl's fittings and teflon lines - not exaggerated at all !

You speak for yourself !!!!!!
