I am surprised at the advise not to run a gear set, although I have never run anything but duplex true roller, I thought the cam timing would be more accurate with a gear set, however I am not keen on the noise they make, but the car I would be putting this engine in will most likely have a...
How much better is a gear drive going to be for accurate cam timing compared to a good true roller duplex replacement and what are the differences in the gear drives (ie) idlers etc.
The comment was made that there are a couple of different roller bearing sets to choose from, what's the difference??
Also are you using steel cams as I think the hardness of cast iron is not enough to run in the needle rollers.
I am building a couple of Rover V8's, for classic racing, to one X-bolted block I have fitted 4" sleeves to take chev rods and pistons. I intend using roller lifters if possible, and had been told the Nascars and Australian V8 touring cars were using the needle roller bearings to reduce...
Are the advantages of needle roller bearinged camshafts worth the effort, as a steel camshaft has to be machined and induction hardened to be able to run in needle roller bearings and the block also requires a fair bit of machining to accept the caged nedle rollers.
Can anyone provide some links...
I think you will find the MGF EAPS difficult to adapt to another application for a couple of reasons, firstly the assistance is controlled by the main ECU, and unless your steering is exactly the same in as much as the geometry is concerned it just won't connect.
However if you look at the...
