Jack,

I don't have that information. To be honest, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what I'd use the information for!

So, what would I use the info for?
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

To calculate minimum required spring force for a particular combination of engine speed and valvetrain mass.

Joe, if you're at the salt with no car, come hang out with us-we at least always have lots to drink! LOL!

Don just sent me this update-way to go, Don!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Small update for all.. I set up the heads and removed the o ring we were using ( .031 ) so we can run a larger wire ( .041 ) with a receiver grove in the block .

So- how do you cut those irregularly shaped O-ring (and receiver) grooves- CNC mill? If so- did you translate the shapes into a series of geometric segments (arcs, etc.)?

There is a lot on this car that makes me think about the things I am doing. Are you going to run the engine on the engine dyno, chassis dyno or go straight to the salt?  Put me down for "over"!  :-D

Carl, Don is finishing the final version of the lifters and blocks, and Kenny will hone the cylinders and install the cam bearings on Monday.

I scheduled the dyno with John Beck yesterday, and we will be there July 1-3rd.

Carl, it will be great to see you again!

John has been making great progress! He still has some final fitting and mods to make, but things are looking good!

He has the rear enclosures done on the front mods, but still has to cut some vents into them.
