ffs, i knew it would go bang, i knew it was pushed well behond the limits, everyone can say i told you so, but as yet only one person has.......

it was nice to see how far the engine can be pushed, everyone has to experiment!

working where i work i shall be trying to get good deals on all new parts... gotta be some perks of the job after all..........

so far i have the following parts in mind for the bottom end:

rods: arrow or sbd h section
pistons: accralite or omega
crank: getting some more info on that today
dry sump kit: pace kit

when the bottom end is built up i will concerntrate on the head. the head is where the power is. the bottom end is just there to be reliable. with my plans the head will cost a fair bit but hay ho, why not! gotta spend the wages somewhere.
