Wondered what forum I was on for a second there...
Footed an earth lead from the battery to the bulkhead.
Peace of mind mostly.Seen some cars with this, some without - any particular advantage?
Well impressed, great engineering. The knock sensor stuff is interesting, very keen to see how that goes. Is this quite a high compression motor?Swapped the engine on the silver car with my new stroker last Sunday.
Today I made a start on fitting the inlet, hayabua itb’s And wiring. Fitted the 2 knock sensors and started making notes on all the changes to make this work. Nothing major but lots of little things to re-engineer.
looks good John. I was wondering what you wer up to.Swapped the engine on the silver car with my new stroker last Sunday.

Compression is 11.4:1 and with the n42 head design there may be a tendency to knock. The f88 is more than capable of nipping it in the bud so why not use it. 2 sensors on a 6 pot mean better accuracy when listening and the f88 has plenty of inputs. I want to try and get the most out of this engine and still have great drivability.
Yes it’s your crank frankly and I do appreciate you letting me abuse it. Gsx1300r itb’s.

I’ve just stripped my new head again cos I thought something must be amiss, 45-50nm to turn the cam on a fully built head. I was starting to think about cam binding etc. Dropped all the rockers out and the cam floats round. I’m on Schneider springs which I think are around 110. I spoke to Dave Rebello what his experience is and he says generally about 70Ibft to turn the cam. He also said they tested on varying spring pressures and they don’t loose power on stiffer springs, but obv suffer less valve bounce on the bigger cams.I put my head back on the engine, and it still works!
It only came off because I thought my valve springs were too stiff.
It turns out the old springs were tired and only 85 lb, the new ones are stiffer at 110. oh well.
.............However, the fans were running backwards sucking air from the engine bay and pushing it towards the grille!.............
