Ahh the pedal box finally arrived, them wings are fan ****ing tastic! :thumb:
It should do it like with a good map :thumb:Quote:

Some more nice bits coming along now though
TBH mate I dont really pay attention to the clocks as much as should I use the shift light to change up and concentrate on the road :thumb:Quote:

cams that run non hydrolic lifters (solids)
David.
Any photos on how you pulled the wings out ? (wide arch)
solids tend to have a lighter bucket and a shim sat on the valve stem....a must for high revving cars and for wild cams.
They were made from metal not pulled.Quote:

Speaking of the wings, I've got a few pics for Gareth to add.
Ill get the pics added that andy has mate:thumb:Quote:

just a shorter way of putting it really.
David.
solid profile cams have different ramp angles, their ground different to hydraulic cams
ah thats the answer i was looking for..why are they made diff??
with a solid lifter you can be much more agressive with the ramp angles (meaning wider duration without needing to go for mental life), whereas a hydraulic lifter needs a fairly subtle ramp angle otherwise you can start to push the oil out etc
And a whole host of other issues like a hydraulic lifter jacking up with high revs (high oil pressure) leaving the valve open all the time

ye but sure that doesnt give a proper answer philip said their ground different to hydraulic cams..im asking what does he mean by this? like is the machine using a different technique or what?
Can't you read ?
They ARE ground different in terms of ramp angles etc..
I'm not that technical when it comes to camshafts but I can make sense of what Stuart is saying
O reli, I didnt read this 4 times on the last pagelol lol lol lol lolQuote:

No the grinding process (ie taking metal off the cam blanks) isnt any different.
The shape of the egg is different. Sometimes its not obvious as cams are incredibly complicated devices... There are entire books/engineering divisions for them etc.
Lol......... egg!
You want egg ?Quote:

But no, i was refurring to Stuarts termonology, seems unusual that he would call a cam lobe an ''egg'' when usually he uses precise words to describe generally boring stuff inside a computer. Must be this cold weather on his bonce!
how else would you describe it for 'someone' to understand who cant cope with big words/technical descriptions lol
Lol that is true! Just love the relation between a conversation about camshaft drivetrain and an egg! Its made my day.
So much so, im gonna give you rep!
EDIT - Check your rep Stuart lol
im a simpleton (read mechanically retarded lol) and understood what stuart said
So if the eggs on the 2 sticks underneath the cover are round it'll go like f*ck? lol

this is how wide they are
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/SDC10801.jpg
they have been made by fully re flaring the arch so its a metal arch but wider for the front tyres. :thumb:
Oh and santa has brought me a new alcantara steering wheel will upload pics.
And have just paid a deposit on a +2mm big valve coscast head fully ported and polished so should help it some :thumb:
