You can catch it on Discovery +1

Or you can wait and watch it all again on Saturday morning at 10:00 AM and again on +1 at 11:00AM.

The Saturday version has all the swearing bleeped out so I can watch it with the kids, fill them with mechanical knowledge and get them to bleed the brakes on the car .......While I put my feet up !!

[dc53]

Cheers mate.
Missed it on +1 now, so Saturday it is then!

The owner of the garage, that jock tw-t said it looked like a big dildo and ran like a bag of shit. The mechanic who was fixing it loved it, and tried to explain it was a racing engine with a flat plane crank thats why it runs like it does, and that he used to look after the very same car 3 years ago, when he worked at a dealer in the south.

Tuscan with a flat-plane crank? Surely the crank pins on a straight 6 are offset at 120 degrees?

Flat plane crank AJP8 Only me thinks

I think he was thinking of the Tuscan challenge motors which had the AJP8 in them not the road S6 motors i recon

Speed 6 is definitely flat plane crank. Ask Al Melling - he designed it.

[sidewayz]

No its not. You use a flat plane crank on a V8.Try it on a six and you will get bloody aweful vibrations and it will shake itself to bits.
There is a picture on a Six crank in the speed six forum and its deffo a 120 -if you do a search it should pop up.
