That’s what thought so pulled the liner to check but all good being Westwood liners.
The liner is scored.

The MLS head gasket threw me a dummy as looked perfect.
Brad Morgan told me to separate the gasket and I’ll see the failure. He was right.

Could it be a Detonation issue?? It's the classic Det Head gasket between 2-3. You'll not hear it in the heat of battle either. Something to double check when you go to the rollers. Absolute pain in the proverbial.

No signs of det steve on head or pistons.

No signs of Det on head or pistons Steve.
We did have issues at Oulton last time car was ran with boost spiking.
Car finished race with no issues

Chris always wears det cans so sure he will get the bottom of it

I once blew out a half inch chunk between 2-3 on the 1550 by setting the timing at 36 Deg instead of 29 Deg. It was fine until I revved it out in 3rd , so it blew the gasket in the biggest cloud of steam in about 3 seconds and I never heard it yet. By the time it leaves mark's on the pistons it's been bad for some time. Dependant on State of tune, customers mechanical sympathy and intended use, my Dyno man will back off the timing about 2 degrees from optimum, as a bit of insurance. Also helps cover fuel variations.
As with everything in life it comes down to the length of your arms and the depth of your pockets.......
Good luck for this season.

At least with a C1J the HG is fairly simple, no timing belt/chain to undo etc etc.

Ready for the rollers

We need updates

203 psi @12psi first run ..

 

[Duncan Grier]

There was a time to get 200bhp out of a 5 took wayyyyy more boost than that

Looking forward to numbers with boost turned up

 

[Brigsy]

My guess wasnt far off then. Great power for boost pressure

 

[Clarkey]

Very happy how car performed.

 

[Adey]

Toasty!

where did you end up power wise?

Toasty!

where did you end up power wise?

272 bhp @25psi

So we have 70 bhp difference on the dial which is perfect. Each click will give us 7 bhp.
Will be running the car around 250 bhp which will be setting 7 for reliability and will still be quick.

Number 12 is qually mode, only to be used for one lap. 260 ft/lb

Also got push to pass which gives us 5 psi for 5 seconds.

That is some solid power well done. bet you are chuffed with that.

When's the first test/outing ?

 

[Duncan Grier]

That's some some fantastic numbers....get the up

Will be testing early April.

Great results Dave, graphs look superb. The boost control looks great with the ewg.
