Wow, first time i have seen this thread. Im a mechnaical noob who doesnt "get" all the black magic and numbers you talk, but i do understand that dyno chart and names like Calver and Longman. Genius.
Small bores arent the paperweights anymore!

Just wondering if everything is okay. No update for a while

HI Kiwiinwgtn
Every thing is going well, just been really busy trying to catch up on work and doing some more cylinder head development come up with some new way of making them work better chasing that holey grail, I think this is a step in the right direction.
Aaron has been really busy as well with his TV stuff' but there is light at the end of the tunnel maybe in the next couple of weeks, i'm keen to try this new 274 cam I think it will be really good, i'v got some of Keith Calvers new 1.4 rockers to try they will be a good thing.

Someone had to get the cam in, so I went down and bunged the thing in the hole. Now, GR hasn't got an excuse. No more cups of tea for you GR, back to work

Cheers

Well done Aaron.

Hi All
He's a pushy little bugger that Aaron he may have put the cam in but I had to dial it all up, then it's harassment get it on the dyno, so he did, and I run it up today, I love it when he works from home and he can even make a good cuppa tee only because I taught him.
The new cam worked well I was hoping for more torque and HP but i'm greedy but I think you will be happy with the results, it would make a very fast road/ track day engine, so I will print out the dyno sheets an get Aaron to post them for me (need more ink for the printer)

Yes Graham, If I dialled the Cam in, you would have had pony power instead of horsepower and the torques would have been just Talk!
besides, if i do everything, then what would i have to complain to you about? You're not done yet, start writing, so I can start typing! Chop chop, hurry up!
