Getting my engine ready to dyno.
Which car is this for John?
Getting my engine ready to dyno.
This is the engine I had built a year or so ago. 2.8 bored to 88.5mm, Maxpeeding 240z rods, ld28 crank, JE pistons at deck height (then 0.5mm off deck!!) n42 samuri conversions head, 480" lift isky cam. After the first cam died in 200 miles (Spring rate too high and poor cam/followers), I've had the engine rebuilt with a reground nissan cam by kent cams and nissan rockers, DJ springs, and longer valves. Hoping for better luck this time around.
What do you think of the Maxpeeding rods?
I have had different opinions of them with someone having a set that were not all the same length and one bent rod
+1, mine see 8k rpm regularly and no problems for 5 years.I measured mine on a CMM and lengths were perfect, 2 gram max difference, which by the time they've been 'worked' will be removed. for the cost, amazing really.
They're in a zx10r super stock engine I know of that's doing unto 14000rpm most time's its running, with no current issues.
Going back in the silver car Rob.

Yep, Cranky Franky's Franky Crank.
Stared at it with the bonnet up for far longer than needed, pumped up the tyres, closed the bonnet, closed the garage!
I know once it's out the garage, i need to faff about with the MC and booster...... again, and i don't want to face lying in the footwell all contorted anytime soon.
I need to fix the apparently inadequate gap between pushrod and MC. Once the car and brake fluid warm up after about 10 minutes, the front brakes start to bind on and will eventually lock, once cooled they release. As a quick fix to get me home last time i used the car, i placed a single washer between each of the four booster bolts and the back of the MC, which cured the binding, but now the pedal travels too far for my liking!
