That's what I thought

Even though I'm only static balancing the jig/pulley assembly?

Nice work! Can you get some compensation for the indicator stalk?

Thanks for the responses. I understand the gains will be negligible based on the pulley diameter, but I wanted a challenge. It is cast iron, but I'm pretty comfortable with the strength of it. There's still a lot of material there on the sides of the grooves. I'll take care to chamfer/radius all sha...

G'day guys. I thought it would be an interesting project to see how much weight I could machine off the crank pulley for my 2.5. It was going well until I started thinking about the axial movement of the counter weight. Pictured below is the jig I made for static balance. The pair were balanced toge...

I think it's a Maserati but I'd need to look it up.

Have you decided what to do with the castor bar joints?

Manx buggy? Or is it Italian too?

G'day Sheldon. I know your name but our paths haven't crossed yet. Nice work on the 3 litre.

Can I guess Maserati Bi-turbo convertible and Ferrari 250 or 330?

It was nice to meet you Garth. The car still has the standard tail shaft but the owner's planning to put in a one piece unit and move the gear linkages into the cabin.

There's talk here too about how major soccer nations seem to have more referee decisions go their way. A lot of Aussies will get on the NZ bandwagon if we don't get through. Funny too that the only sporting event North Korea has broadcast live in a long time was one in which they were beaten 7-0. Th...

Well done Serbia! Quite an upset, but you're lucky it wasn't a draw after that handball!

Yeah, pretty disappointing. I mean, losing to Germany is bearable, but 4-0 is bad. And the red card on Tim Cahill was bullshit. Woke up at 3.30am this morning and went to watch it at a local cinema. The guy sitting behind me had a vuvuzela. Man, they're bloody loud, I'd only ever heard them on the T...

Maurizio, did you add any bracing to cope with your extra spring?

Thanks, Scott

Apart from the CR, how different is the 1.8T to the non turbo 1.8 Nord engine? eg, cams, conrods, valve sizes, combustion chambers?

Thanks, Scott

I've got 17.6lbs/hr @ 36.5 written in my notes but I'm not sure where that came from.

The formula is:

[ sq. root(new pressure/old pressure) ] x old flow rate = new flow rate

Also,

lbs/hr x 10.2 = cc/min
