Way neater than what I had in mind(y)
So it was a drilled grub screw with a smear of gasket seal around the area?
I was thinking of doing that but getting an o ring to seat around the grub screw in the taper for a bit of extra support.
The ideal solution for me would be an orfs hydraulic...
Thanks for the hex drive Vocky
Having spoken to SCS the sequential injection is of very little real world benefit and sequential ignition is only really of benefit to the rev limiter. It would be "cool" to do this mod as I'm finding the challenge interesting, but an additional falure point...
Thanks Vocky you are a legend
Yeah I was playing around with cut down m12 CSK bolts last night but something in the back of my mind is nagging me I've seen something better. Buggered if I can remember though
Do you have any more hex inserts Vocky? (Forget you no know how much its worth to me :D)
Depending on depth I was thinking of starting off with an oversized cap head ( metric or imperial) and getting it machined to accept the insert and the thread turned down to m10. The lathe at work is s**te...
Ok made a start.
Drill guide (made from the end of a Linde 316 sideloader kingpin :))
A lot of swarf :eek:
Tapped to M10. (There is blu-tak jammed into areas to trap the swarf)
Trouble is the quote that came through from the engineering firm for this custom drive coupling is a lot...
That looks great! and thanks for sharing (y)
Bet you knew I'd turn up here:)
Small bearing puller on the hex drive to remove the internal bit and a brave pill?
How thick is the spacer plate?
Do you have any more cams you can butcher so I can buy the insert from you?
How were you planning to...
Probably less important for a garage queen like yours :p:)
But for me unless I was planning something mental like compound charging with a crap ECU it has to be 4032 all the way. (y)
I recently replaced what I thought was a dodgy water pump (a thread for another day...) and in the process noticed a wobble on my crankshaft pulley.
Here's a link to the 6MB video http://dl.dropbox.com/u/888559/M4H00470_mpeg2video.mpg (Sorry not sure how you embed these things)
I'm sure some...
Got an old record collection you want to revive?
Want to appear more attractive to women / men? (Hey, maybe both...)
Want to make your mates insanely jealous of your good taste?
Want to impress your boss at a dinner party and get that promotion you deserve?
You could spend £££££ on a self...
Take your pick :thumbup: Although I don't know any if any of them will ship to the UK.

The fun and games start when you try and fit pressure & temp using this without it ending up looking like a christmas tree. :D
Atom X bottom end - yh rods and pistons, knife edged crank, head rebuilt with "a trick or two" (Lee wouldn't divulge what), raised compression ratio to about 12:1, all balanced to much less than 1 gram.
