What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
What caused that?
Repaired the rattling drivers window this afternoon, took the door panel off and put the glass rubber back in the channel but I had a bit of a senior moment putting it back together I just couldn't get my arm though to the furthest bolt after far to long trying to work out how I got it off so easily I realised that the window was wound down.

So a serious block repair and engine re fresh, other than your time I bet this cost less than 2k easy
How's the new clutch,
Did that split result from vibration Peter or do you have no idea?
Of course, the twin plate clutch on top, about another £500 .
Apparently these blocks do have the occasional split. No apparent reason. But this is what causes the leaking liners as it is the water jacket that splits behind the liner.

What is this cam ?
This.http://www.kentcams.com/product-details/236/Camsha...
With LSA ground at 110 degrees for a little smoothness low down.

I took the block to Chesman engineering, they did all the work including removing the liner, taking the block to a specialist welder, fitting the liner, boring it to size and honing the bores all within one day while I waited . excellent Lovely welding by the way, was that by a specialist Peter, nervy stuff
M248 is torque cam for long stroke engine..
I will go straigt from M256. If that cam is not enought, next will be Real Steel 266? or some custom made, maybe +260.. Roller setup..
Still street car engine..

And SHE is running again with cometic head gasket´s.. Have to re torque heads because they are leaking oil middle of the block. Hope for best next start up..

My ex cam is M238, and +500Nm torque curve start at +2000rpm. Max hp approx 5500rpm. And my engine is only 5.2l 90mm stroke.
I also want more top end, i have got too mutch low down torque. So that´s why i go for M256 and more bigger throat´s..
Usually long stroke/big engine is forgiving.. Also ITB`s will help, with plenum you might have some small proplem if use silly race cam..
Where did you buy your cam, or who design it?

That is interesting, I didn't want any more torque!
If it makes more torque and less bhp I will be genuinely pissed off!
Hope all goes as planned on the rollers Peter.If it makes more torque and less bhp I will be genuinely pissed off!
I thought these top hat liners somehow sealed top and bottom to prevent water leaks from a porous or cracked block.

Don't tempt him!! I have seen his tongue hanging out over the John Eales crossover manifold on Rosey's Grief......I also want more top end, i have got too mutch low down torque. So that´s why i go for M256 and more bigger throat´s..

That's what Chesmans said.I thought these top hat liners somehow sealed top and bottom to prevent water leaks from a porous or cracked block.
They said mine wasn't sealed too well at the bottom of the liners. Also said that the block wasn't one of theirs
Roll on Monday.Kokkolanpoika said:
Did you get car on the rollers?
Yep, strange results, possibly. 372 bhp 440 torques on Joolzs conservative rollers.The lca was stretched to 110 degrees when ground for better road manners.
It does behave pretty well on the road with absolute minimal shunting if you could call it that.
Silly iPad chops off the top of the graph.
