As it is in the very centre of the disc it should have almost no effect on the balance of the disc.
This sort of work should *only* be performed using a lathe.

Dear Swede, I recently went through an emission test and found that my NOx reading was very high. Could this be due to very high combustion chamber temp and can it be cured by increasing advance. Yours truly, XXX Less advance will drop the chamber pressure/temp, but will raise exhaust temps... Or f...

Because the centre bore of the disc is the *least* stressed part!

Most AVGAS (if you can lay your hands on it nowdays) is low lead. As for the valve lube and seat protecting type aditives, yes, they can kill O2 sensors. I know of guys that have run 2 stroke bikes with O2 sensors, and they are accurate untill the oil cakes the sensor and kills the readings. Tuning ...

A good explanation. My €0.05 is that the OE pump is doing OK as long as the oil is not warm and driving conditios are good. In my GTV I see a drop in pressure when oil gets hot (~140 degrees). At idle there's not much pressure at all. That is when the bigger pump really helps. I'm interested in thi...

It's all spaghetti to me.

Compomotive are more like fish and chips? English I believe?

Mats, Say if the oil pump can overwhelm the overflow valve by a huge margin, lets say it can pump infinity gpm or gph or whatever unit you wanna use. Then how is pressure still gonna be constant (even if you have an overflow valve)? Although Barry did says this: "the pressure will rise proport...

Hate to tell you this, but the stock Twin Cam seats are good for unleaded...

Pics or Ban! Pics or Ban!

I did entertain the idea of my motor with a Porsche 928 transaxle in a GTV for a lil while.... 410rwhp in 1100kg would be fun

la_strega_nera the heat is from the boat anchor under the bonnet. what the hell are u driving a falcon for! if u want air con get a honda\mazda\ect :twisted: i rather burn in hell with my darling automobile! I'd lay money on that boat anchor weighing less than a turbo'd Alfa 6 (figure on the alloy ...

Heh. Its ok, i'll hang around, i know the limitations of the beast, but its damn good fun.... another alfa for me isn't going to happen over night, but it will happen
(ps, it can do this in the dry wheelspin at 60mph )

Think of a 1971 Ford Fairmont GT Barry, they got called a Fairmont over in SA, but were actually a Falcon from Aus.

We get warmer than 30 degrees year round here, about 37 with 70+% humidty is a normal summers day.

Yep, wasn't me either. forgot about the auction finishing time and was out of the house

I depends what sort of compressor you're running aswell. If its a big Yorke reciprocating compressor then it'll suck plenty of power, and ripping it out saves a tonne of weight too. when I pulled the aircon out of my old GTV, I made a point of weighing all the shite that came out. It weighed 25 kg, ...
