Nice engine
« on: 21 January 2008, 19:43:50 »
Sick of misbehaving crank and cam sensors, tired of fault codes and misfires, fed up with oil leaks ? Have a look at this and imagine an Omega with one of these in, turn the sound up or use headphones, sit back and listen to the music.

Yeah.. See all that fuel that's pi$$ing into the intake trumpets?

I think that's what I'd get fed up with...

Very impressive that it holds together at all though :o

It'd need a rebuild once a week with the mileage most of us do ;D

Hope so.

I saw a 1.8 Rover K series making over 250BHP on a  rolling road once.. As it passed through about 8K RPM it occurred to be that I was standing at a tangent to all the rotating parts so I relocated myself behind the car :o

Couple of weeks later at a track the scavenge pump belt came off, went into the cam belt and all hell broke loose. Bye bye K series :'(

they done that on top gear when Hampster tried to drive an F1 Car. They reckon that because the engine is so tight when cold its more or else seized, they have to slowly warm the oil and coolant to 80 oC before they can even think about turning it over

Be no good on a cold day and your late for work would it!

I reckon you'd probably make up the lost time pretty quick once it'd warmed up though. :o
