BDR Facet pump identification
This picture shows my old Facet pump and one I have had in stock for many years (ten of fifteen?). Question is, is what is the spec of the newer one? Indeed of the old one as a matter of interest. I am inclined to think it doesn't matter what the pressure is given it goes through a regulator where I can see my desired fuel pressure.Sound right? I gave up trying to disconnect the old pumo black wire (the 12v feed) so cut it and fitted a spade to match the newer
Coolant and clamps
So this evening I mixed 6 litres of 50:50 G12 type coolant with deionised water, because Google seems to think that this is better than plain or I forget. I am also told water is just fine so regardless I had already ordered the deionised stuff.
Happily when I completed filling 4 1.5 litre bottles (that had G13 in them at one time) I realised the remaining 2 litres in the 5 litre coolant and deionised water containers would also nicely mix so the water will not free
Specify the compression factor for RGB channels between 0 and 100. The default is 75.
In case of lossy compression (default), a small factor produces a smaller file with lower quality. Best quality is achieved by using a value of 100.
In case of lossless compression (specified by the −lossless option), a small factor enables faster compression speed, but produces a larger file. Maximum compression is achieved by using a value of 100.

inc connector removal (but do not use but conne tors) The argument about using solder or not in automotive joins rages on. In this one there is a nuance "use a tny bit of solder only". The argument against solder is that over time the join becomes fragile and breaks. As far as i can see the current popular method is .. always being argued!

2021 Update: https://www.lotus7.club/guides/technical-information/cosworth-engines https://motor-car.net/cosworth-engines/item/13787-cosworth-bda-engines In 1983, the BD series saw its second road engine incarnation (the first being the original BDA and BDB), the BDR, which was a BDA or BDB sold in kit form for the Caterham Super Seven in 1601 cc (120 bhp) and in 1701 cc (130 bhp) formats. I am interested information, about my BDR. Had a very interesting chat with Guy Munday (thank you Guy)
