Ducatis use the cam to open
That's interesting! When I get a spare couple of hours I'll have to try and look that up and see exactly how that works mechanically.

Makes for an interesting lump
=D> *straight away* how it's done - what a clever idea, and simple! However, I'm now wondering how this affects what you can achieve with the cams. I think what I'm gonna do is create a little app that allows me to mess around with the cam profile and see how it affects the valve. I was planning on doing this as an app to help people work out what they're doing with cams, so it's just an extension on that theme.

I havent checked them with a magnifier but initial glance shows nothing.Mate, I've now re-read that a few times, and don't understand what you mean
My mind must have been having another conversation whilst I was typing. 
What I meant to say is that the two pistons that failed at the ring land had been exposed to high boost pressures before hand on a dyno. It however became apparent that they failed during another dyno run at 8psi?!Bender Unit wrote:Dont worry it makes no sense to me either!
*could* have happened is that the first time round the pistons were either stressed or actually cracked by the overboost, and then all it would have taken is enough heat cycles of expanding/contracting to eventually break them at some point later in the future.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Click here for MR2 Mania WebsiteMR2Mania wrote:Anyway, back on topic.
I guess we can leave our differences here as I said, I was not interested. As you said, you dont care if anyone likes you or not, well personally I dont either.jonno wrote:

Graeme, you obviously have no idea who Dino is and how much of a wealth of knowledge he is.
... however, I know fully well who Dino is. This was 2 and a half years ago. And I dont forget much about certain people. Wether he was on a bad day or whatever fair dues. But I am good friends with gts chris and with JJ so dont worry, you dont need to compare me to them Dino, I picked up alot of those guys which are also great people. I learnt the rest myself."the big guns" push everyone else a side and its more of a popularity contest than a community. Im sure this can end here and the topic can carry on.^Trickster^ wrote:
