We're also pretty confident that valve springs were to blame for the previous failure, the original valve springs, which I don't know the spec of, weren't capable of controlling the valves over...

Things are getting real
Won't be long and we'll be using them in anger I hope...
Some expensive bits there Colin!! Hahaha
Got a Life Racing ECU going in it aswell which will serve as engine ECU and gearbox controller.
Will need someone to wire all this lot in too [emoji6]

Won't be long mate, just making a few changes to the steering wheel

Double post
Ultimately we can't pinpoint the failure, it was either a piston broke, rod little end let go or valve dropped which led to the first two in succession.
I can't complain, it's suffered 4 years of...
We think the rod let go but equally it could have snapped out of the piston....I know both the piston and the rod are MIA!!! Nowhere to be found!!!
I've not heard good things about the alloy blocks.....
It's so uneventful you wouldn't even believe it happened!! If it wasn't for the clouds of smoke pouring out the back I'd have thought it was just a misfire haha
Yeah mate all was well....I think the shitty Williams rods didn't like the 8350rpm!!!!
I'll dig the clip out tomorrow of it going bang but it literally just broke, didn't over rev (according to...
Well....that didn't go to plan

Yes mate, get yourself down there!!! Summer won't be here forever!!
I'm at Brands on 5th June and also Snet on the 20th June.
I've entered the JSS at Blyton Park on 25th June to finally get a...

Think Automotive hooked me up with a new hose while I waited

Got scared when I got to the workshop this morning and looked at it, reverted back to type and fired the MIG up!!...
Ratios are in the box and the engine and box are back in the car.
Top front mount is screwed, we've worked out that the bush is acting in the wrong plane.
...
Trying to keep engine temps up as I don't run a thermostat
New ratios ordered from SWR, should be available to go in as soon as I get the box out, which is coming soon.
Alternator rubs the chassis leg which is what you can hear in the video.
Soaking...
Yeah it's really smooth mate, looking forward to 100% throttle!! Haha
Decidedly agricultural compared to this Colin, hoping for a full throttle day out on Tuesday at Snet again. Worried we're geared too short though as we were on the rev limiter on the back straight...
Snetterton and the first real test of the SADEV. Throttle stop on the pedal box had worked loose meaning we only had 70% throttle at the start of the day in the wet working it's way down to about 40%...
Yeah thanks mate!! Missed you at VBOA mate, be good to see your pretty face again soon
