I meant the clearances ranged from journal to journal in those ranges. Sorry about that. I measured them with the micrometer and the telescoper like you have in the picture. the worst one was the center crank/ thrust journal which had 0.0055 clearance. pretty messed up. This motor has very low mile...

Many of the answers probably don't address your question. Many, often the best jump past your question and give you the best all round an...

Hej can't type for hours on the whole procedure for accurate determinations of rod and main clearances and the proper use of micrometers and snap gauges, but here's some points. NOTHING is more critical in a motor that correct rod and main clearances. OEMs can specify clearances like .009 to .0011 b...

Very nice! But here's a suggestion for a motor you can get in the car pretty easy: Cosworth V6 24v from Scorpio Cosworth. They are good engines, and you can get whole cars for very little en Angleterre grace le côut d'essence et l'age d vehicule. They were ''executive express'' cars and now are t...

Brad, it's sarcasm and humor. Fine, but even a bad comedian knows better than to keep re-using the same tired material that barely got a laugh the first time. Brad, YOU and perhaps a few others may not have found it funny, but I assure you many have and have shared their appreciation.. Again, it se...

One day when I grow up......John how did this add to the tread. Yea, it may be a silly thread, but come on. But I'm sure ratios aren't so important any more since there's been a lot of changes in technology, materials and quality control since ratios mattered 20 years ago. :roll: Well I've had a co...

I do believe that the Euro guys build up the T9s pretty stout. Not only is it a much more common transmission over there, but often times there's not a cheap junk yard upgrade like the T5 for us. Traditionally the first thing one used to look at to determine a given gearboxes basic strength is the ...

Sequential shifters are old technology, first one I saw in a Ford was 18 years ago near Sevenoaks in Kent. You boys ought to bear in mind that a sequetial shifter on a box with appallingly wide ratios like of of the truly awful T5s from non-turbo 2,3 or Turbocoupe Fords, or even the ordinary V8 sets...

What you're talking about will work, but I would never trust my life to thousands of pounds of pressure being held by ANY washer! It would be a whole nother thing if you had thicker PLATES machined out of 4130, 4140, 8620, A2, or something else that is a high strength alloy, or even a softer alloy ...
