it's good that anecdotal evidence controls the earth now. Since I lost 50lbs on a diet of coke and chips, I should go on TV, tell people about it and make millions while they all also lose 50lbs right?

I give them alot of credit. This is a potentially industry changing move.

anybody know of a place that ships overseas?

14mm. Might be better to come from below eh?

couldn't speak for the replacement intervals on lightweight hobby aircraft. But I CAN say that they don't get to break the laws of physics and metal fatigue. Neither does anybody making conrods, nomatter how italian or cool they are.

figgie, I agree 100% altho the conrods ARE adding a force, the force they're adding will be <1% of the total inertia of the rotating assembly. lightweight camshafts would get you further. The ass dyno is not a scientific tool.

ok, some corrections from the last page. If you wanna get technical, no, the rod doesn't load the crank, the rod loads the oil and the oil loads the crank, but the weight (not mass, very different things) of the rod IS applying a force against the crank. and if the rod DIDN'T apply a load to...

amen to that. I can think of alot of REALLY dumb canadians. btw: World: I apologize on behalf of Canada for Celine Dion, we're incredibly ashamed and won't ever let it happen again.

the dodge challenger isn't made by GM last time I checked. nor will it be for the forseeable future.

in my opinion, Ric isn't wrong. He's not right either, but he's not wrong. a mature rider, will be just fine to learn riding on a big bike. so long as he has a couple of hours on a little one to get the controls and the "lizard reaction" in his brain figured out. Once your brain knows where to...

sounds like you've got a blockage somewhere. air shouldn't be an issue, your oil pressure on a full crank should be atleast 80psi, so you'd have to have like 5 vertical air pocket blockages to do that, unless you've got a gigantic lazy loop coil in there that shouldn't be it. dunno what to tell...

cranking without oil pressure isn't a big deal, if it fire up you'd be in trouble. are you sure the oil pressure sender is good? sure that it's a US spec sender and not a J-spec one?

I'm in London, I have a set out at the shop but I'm not gonna be out there until monday and wanted to get this up today. don't suppose you know of a 7m block locally do you?

thanks man, if I'm ever out BC way I owe you a beer.

as said above, it can be done without taking the whole thing apart, but it's a delicate process. it could also be turbo seals.

I need the width and depth of a standard 7m connecting rod to update that excel thing I did awhile back. I'm writing a piece to calculate conrod load and conrod factor of safety. anyways, if somebody can get me the weight of a piston (with pin and circlips) and the width and depth of a conrod...

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46636 http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5274 here's some info on con-rods. I can build a feature into the excel thing that I wrote for you guys awhile back to calculate conrod stresses, then if we have a cross section for...

titanium on it's own isn't all that strong, it's all in the alloy. If I remember my metallurgy properly, it's chromium and vanadium alloyed in abnormally large proportions (like 3-4% of each) that makes the Titanium strong. it's been more than a year since I looked at that shit tho and my...

ok, fair point. so revision to my previous statement "all other things being equal."

exactly. a 300hp NA/SC motor will demolish a 300hp turbo motor, every time, without fail.
