eddie you're big on r&d, pushing the boundaries and having a go yourself.... try different sizes of spacers with standard sized studs and work outwards til you find the limit of whats safe and what means the wheels will come off.

report back yeh, be a big help for the forum. proper hands on evidence :)

cheers man
 
he does have a fair point if you read what hes saying though, if they are the right length for 20mm spacers, using a 25mm does leave less stud, which isnt ideal (not saying its dangerous but its not ideal is it?)

i use 5mm spacers on standard studs, i wont use them on track but then its not to say they wouldnt work, just i didnt see the point when the spacers are only there for cosmetics anyway.

using bolt on spacers as slip ons does seem like a silly way of doing things though, bolt on would make more sense to me at least esepcailly after having to mess around taking the hub off, im sure you had reason to do it though
 
ok enough spacer talk. i really dont care.

ive done something new today.

write up to come when chris sends me the pics.
 
It depends on the thickness of the wheel as well. If the wheels that Eddie is useing have a thicker wheel centre then they will show less stud on the outside. Spacer + Wheel centre thickness + Width of the stud (safe working thread limit) = Stud length or less.

Edit* Massive respect for Lopey Idle sound awesome

Is that highspot in your bonnet from your Nos backfire? Looking kerleeeeen though buddy.

yup LOL. well spotted.

so.

after speaking to Ben (primerapower) and him mentioning why dale dialled his in, i realised id been missing an obvious thing... the autechs 1mm head skim throws out the cam timing on anything other than autech cams. So I had to advance the timing 2.5* to correct this.

started to pull to bits. i still havent got round to tipp-ex'ing the E from NEO VVL on my rocker cover yet. its coming though.

still looks nice and clean. there is a few nasty scuffs on the exhaust cylinder 1 love, but it passes the fingernail test and its only small.

after all the horror stories lately of fucked up cam timing i was taking NO chances. so tipp-ex on the chain.

IMG_2488.jpg


on with the Vernier gears advanced 2.5*, exactly what doctor dale advised. (dont worry, its already been turned over by hand here so there is no tipp-ex. but it was timed up then verified by rick before cable tying the chain on so it couldnt skip.)

And I also helicoiled 3 stripped rocker bolts.

very productive day, having done chris's winter service and cam installation too. as well as emptying the unit lol.

The results... well it spits flames... pops on demand. and moves like shit off a shovel. so much better pickup.

Oh and chris cleaned it. damn good job he done :P
 
Could get quite used to you and rick doing it for me and me valeting your cars lol!

Glad it went okay with the cams Ross, car is looking good too.

Are you going to re-tune/dyno? Do you have a wideband?

I dont have a wideband yet. but that is my next investment. Cause I want to learn mapping myself.

Rowdys would have been incredible if they needed dialling in

they 100% did. all the roller rocker cams are out by the same amount as it is a problem with the data taken from the sample head they were sent.
