I know that the motor should "grow" when it gets warm/hot...anyone have some numbers for how much wider the engine grows when it's at operating temperature?
The reason I ask is that it might influence my design of the linkage for my individual throttle bodies (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) thanks |

You must be thinking of someone else, I don't make anything better, just more complicated than it needs to be, LOL my idea is to have the main throttle cable meet in about the middle of the engine, it'll be connected to a pulley which will have 2 seperate cables feeding to each pair of TB's. The problem is that if the motor "grows" too much, it can have an effect on the position of the throttle plates....doing something similar to the CB linkage might be better, I'll have to mock something up to measure my engine...of course it has cast iron cylinders right now and my motor and Randels motor will have Nickies which should expand more than the cast iron units. |
