Finally located ALL of my old pictures (all digital pics = 7k+ since 1998) I had backed them up to a hardrive that was sitting and collecting dust!! Moved them to another server and backed up most of them onto DVD.
Enjoy!! Randals car currently looks "nothing" like this..LOL B Attached image(s) |

QUOTE If the oiler is on the outside of the valve cover (no room on the inside with the roller rockers) there is also the potential to break or bend the oiler every time it is removed. Um... you use -4 braided line from the engine to the spray bar?? Paul couldnt figure this out?? undo the bail clips and flip the covers off to the side... no stress on the spray bar?? Britain did this on his turbo engine I built. Jay actually did the spray bars for him. I think Jake used Weber main jets in his spray bar to control the amount of oil. I say do it just like the 911 engines and their spray bars.. tube with holes pointed at the rocker shaft. FYI: I have never seen a failure. Pauter changed the material they used in the rockers way back.. I dont beleive the failures were do to lack of oil..more like "wrong" material. B |

We are planning using a braded line from the engine to the spray bar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Are you saying Britain's engine has the spray bar on the valve cover or on the head as we are doing? BTW the failure happened to Charles in a street engine that was subject to long idles. It really shouldn't happen in a race engine, but better safe than sorry. Actually Charles helped Pauter redesign the rockers after his oiling failure. |
