Engine in pieces!

[julian64]

Well its my fire damage spare that I'm slowly messing with.

crankshaft has 'SRS AD1 - 81298 - E1815' on it

And conrods have 'TVR - E1546', except for one that has 'TVR - E1546-MCD'

Anyone know what they numbers mean, and why the odd conrod?

[ridds]

SRS AD1 - 81298 Dunno what this is.

E1815 is the part number

So is E1546 and E1546-MCD

[julian64]

It just struck me as odd there was any difference.

I'll weight them and check at the weekend.

Are the part numbers for standard cast parts?


Anyone made their own crankshaft balancer? ................No, seriously .

I think you should try it, and when i see a Cerbera going down the road, looking like its out of focus, i can guess who it is!

[BLUETHUNDER]

I dont know about the numbers.But i would suspect that MCD stands for Melling Consultancy Design.

Strangely modest for him that he only stamped one of the eight?

As for you brummie , back in your american powered cage you.

You own a Cerbera and you ask about variations and vaguries within the build process?

Hello Julian

I might need a favour from you, got a leak in the slave cylinder I think and need to take it out to check only thing is it would mean the car would be on your lift for a couple of days would that be okay probably in a couple of weeks.

Yep, lift is available, the only problem is that the workshop isn't as I now have just about every square inch of floor and tabletop space strewn with my exploded engine, and if anything moves I'm gonna be hard pressed to remember where anything came from

[billy no brakes]

Thanks I will let you know when I can make it probarbly bring Paul Vincent along to help

[julian64]

No problem I can just shut the door on the workshop, and the garage part is yours.

[julian64]

A true flat plane crank.

Spoke to Dom at Power, Doesn't sound convinced by going the 4.7 route. Was kind of talking me round to staying stock 4.5.





Not much meat between those cylinders to make them much thinner!!

I thought I read somewhere about motorbike technology being used to increase capacity, no idea what that means though, but if you want to go to 4.7, perhaps worth looking into?

[julian64]

I believe it was Dom doing this in conjunction with Andy at APM wasn't it?

[itsallyellow]

Yea im sure it was..... intresting!

What where his reasons to avoid it?
