I wish I had joined racing when the BP cars were out in force. It would have been fun running with everyone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) Randal's car always looked great. Wait till you see the new iteration..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Hi Aaron, Neil got me the harness and it is very very well made. Really great workmanship. We're going to be putting it in the car, making sure everything is perfect, then Neil will add the connectors. The engine is getting close. Finishing up the pistons now and then it's on to the roller rockers and valve oiling. The car itself is pretty much ready to go...maybe a weekend of work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

J&E was mechanically challenged on my piston build. We went through 6 sets to finally get the right configuration. They would do stupid things like mill out underneath the dome when we specifically told them not to take anything off. The 5th set was pretty close and we could have live with them, after modification, but again they milled underneath the dome and left less thickness than they specify: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) which I think is .80k. We are working with Charles to figure out the best way to oil the pauter rockers/valves seats. It probably wouldn't hurt to go with the "normal" configuration, given this is a race motor, but there have been failures and we don't want to take any chances. And you’re right about Neil. Did you know that he used to work on/build F1 cars before he opened Performance Developments? |

Looks to us like the best place to run the oiler bar is between the intake manifold and the valve cover. This is a bit more solid mounting location and not subject to constant removal, i.e., like a valve cover. You saw Neil's shop...what did you think? |
