Racing Snake Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Been using them for years in Drag bikes And Simon said the head bolts would be a good idea Mad Hatter The Dura Mentalist 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts !

Pendennis Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Yer, I know they been around for years. But they are a pig to remove and the heads are bulky. Other Duratec developers no longer use them, I believe they use standard Ford bolts. My race engine doesn't use them and it has doen two seasons. Mind you, your be making more power so no harm being safe Want to rent an 18th century Farmhouse in Rural Somerset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racing Snake Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Yep my thoughts exactly too much invested so on the side of max safety and durability. In the scheme of things the whole ARP set was under £200 so with not much to keep it all together The steel Cosworth crank was the BIG ouch, but its a work of art and should do the biz I still cant believe Cosworth sent it out unbalanced Mad Hatter The Dura Mentalist 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts !

Racing Snake Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Mike i think its 2360cc (Ultimate Performance call it the 2.4) 8500 rpm ( i have a feeling i will shift at 8000 rpm which should stick me right back into max torque) Dave hoping to get the aero guy at Red Bull to have a look re wisker angle Mad Hatter The Dura Mentalist 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts !
