Haha, slowly ill get through every engine part.
Anyway I was just wondering, how heavy are those Ross pistons?
Ive been looking for a 'box' design similar to Mahle and CP's X-Forgings to save weight. I figured spinning to 10k, for the rods sake (Argo) it would be nice to save some weight up there.
I like the idea of the high ring landing so there's less place for the fuel to sit between strokes, and I also like the idea of having less weight and less sleeve to rattle down the bore.
But as Im learning, everything in an engine is a compromise...
So whats the catch with box design pistons?
This might be the slowest build in history, but theres so much cool stuff to learn in that dense alloy block.
Got 32 titanium valves now:tongue:, kept the stems long until ive decided what to do about cams, also 2JZ springs seem to be the only option to uprate past 100lbs of seat pressure. But with the super light Ti valves...will I even need a super hard spring?
I just jacked my own thread. Thanks guys, Jozef.
