Engine on a diet

[Mark Halligan]

Yes. It was done at BDB, although I think he gets another guy to do the machining.

Yep same here, he sent mine out to someone for the machining.

There's was a block going from this guy...20Vcqdriver...try him, he may still have it...and he's near you.

He did but i bought it last week.
Pembo if your really stuck i'd be willing to sell the bottom end to help you get the car going again as its a backup bottom end for mine...

No engine component weights are stated in the papers just sizes and dimentions NOT weights. So it could be a real diet as long as it is not a crash diet!

Thats odd - GpN papers I have seen state all the weights of internals too. Maybe thats a GpN thing - are the papers you have just fro GpA then ?

well this is what i call crank porn. again not a 5 pot but still a work of art.

Group A FIA Papers in Article 255 Section 5 states ..provided that the origin of the series production part may always be established, its shape may be ground, balanced, adjusted, reduced or modified through machining.'

Ahh OK - that will explain it then for GpA... The engines I blueprinted in the past were done to specs from GpN papers - I gave the important numbers to BDB and they done the business.
