  Clean Typical Engine Bay
Posted by: Leykor - 09-15-2016, 11:28 AM - Forum: Multimedia - No Replies

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to plan my engine and auxiliary components colour scheme. Does anyone have a "clean" picture of an engine bay and a "clean" picture of a complete engine on the floor? 

I use "clean" in that I want to be able to Photoshop/Gimp the relevant sections easily.

Thanks

  Unleaded Cylinder Head
Posted by: gweir - 09-14-2016, 09:53 PM - Forum: Technical Downloads - Replies (6)

I have read a few articles on this subject and all roads lead to the following conclusion:

Unless you're contemplating inter-galactic mileage, you don't need a converted head. If you're a-series engine has ingested hoops of leaded fuel over many thousand's of miles, and you only do limited casual mileages, you are likely to get away without the need of a conversion or additive. My personal recommendation and experience has proven that using an endorsed additive is the best way to go.

On race cars or where larger than sensibly usable valves can be fitted where exhaust seat inserts can be used and unleaded fuel only is usable - don't bother about inserts, just use a reputable additive.

The Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles Valve Recession Working Group have found that valve seat erosion "was only found after constant high speed laboratory tests" and that "erosion was virtually not found when vehicles are used for everyday normal operation".

Hi guys tried a search with no luck.

Just wanted to know what the safe book rev limit is on a late 998cc, so as to buy a rev counter.

Good and honest advice at reasonable prices. They cannot do bumpers.
