Technical Info
Discussion
I am looking into creating a web page on the speed six engine containing as much technical info as possible in order to allow owners and independant garages to carry out work on the speed six engine.
I have collected quite a bit from the various forums /posts but would welcome any more (particularly torque / tappet settings etc).
Also any suggestions fo what would be useful on the site.
Cheers

There's quite a few individuals who have rebuilt their own engines though Ash .. my MOT centre has rebuilt two and i know of one other customer who has rebuilt both an ajp8 and a sp6. if you're friendly with the right people you cna get all the parts and settings you need. hopefully one will be along soon to give you the info you require

To be honest it's not rocket science though is it?.
It's only an engine, and it uses nuts and bolts to hold it all together.
I mean if you know the size of the fastener and what type of thread, and what materials it's going into ie aluminium, steel, unobtainium or expensivinium.
And what function ie, mains, bolts big end bolts and head bolts. Then a decent mechanic or engineer would get a pretty close figure in my opinion.

I didnt think the average mechanic/engineer was a metallurgist too?
True point though, its only an engine, I was looking deeper than just the nuts and bolts...
The engine is now six years old and to be frank I think its time the details were released.
I`m sure some people would have gained these details by reverse engineering and I dont really see what TVR and TVR power have to gain by not releasing the details themselves.
The majority of people will still choose to go down the authorised route but those with the relevant skill or using independants should have that option too.

who says they're not releasing details .. read the previous posts.

Well yes in fact Engineers do have to know about a certain degree of metallurgy to be able to design with the correct materials
