    formula needed for calculating seat pressure per psi boost

    Actually with the camshafts used in these applications and the spring pressures required to make everything function properly, the boost pressure doesn't hardly come into being a factor. Larry Larry Coyle Cylinder Head Engineering, LLC www.cylinderheadengineering.com

    how many cubes can my heads handle?

    Michael, Whenever you set out to build a particular engine combination there are several things to consider. One thing I am amazed that no one has asked you yet is the type of car you are going to run, how much it weighs and several other variables. The first thing you need to do is determine...

    Software for making a build manual?

    If you are going to be creating complete manuals with both documentation and photographs or any other graphics then your company already has a solution. Pagemaker by Adobe will work great and it is relatively easy to learn. Quark is also another very good program. In the past when I have...

    exhaust popping advice needed

    Another thing you could be hearing is exhaust noise coming through the valve cover. This would be caused by the exhaust valve guide being worn pretty bad but I have seen this on many occasions. Larry Coyle Cylinder Head Engineering Larry Coyle Cylinder Head Engineering, LLC...

    Crankshaft balancing

    Since a I4 does not balance with a bobweight like a v-8 or v-6 you need to understand that if you change the weight of the back counterweight you really need to do something to the front. Since balancing one of these cranks is a no-brainer why don't you call around and just ask someone in your...

    Material suggestions for intake manifold 'box'

    A couple of things here. You start off talking about an airbox but you don't mention the type of vehicle or the application. There are many materials you could make it from but to start with, and for experimental purposes, I would use the cheapest. Whatever you use, you will be well advised...

    Just got NX4!!!!

    Tim, Have you ever or do you think you can do... I am needing a spiral, actually a curved spiral, like one that would follow a line down the center of a port. I want to use this to drive my tool path. Any suggestions? Larry Larry Coyle Cylinder Head Engineering, LLC...

    Good DNC program for Swiss CNC machines?

    Solid model of Small Block Chevy?

    EngJW If you know someone who is a SEMA member and does transmission work, they can request a digital drawing of the transmission. I know this works for my stuff (Cylinder Heads). Larry Larry Coyle Cylinder Head Engineering, LLC www.cylinderheadengineering.com

    Just got NX4!!!!

    I've been thinking this "problem" since it was first mentioned above. You talk about being burried and I guess the reason I did not see that nor pay much attention to how the system installed is because I have a bad habit of doing one thing. The very first thing I do when I install any new...

    How long can I use UG v15 ?

    Shadowspawn Sorry for not monitoring this forum closer but as for your question... Since NX4 is already out (I have been using it for a while and actually did some beta testing) I would ask my rep for a 30day trial and experiment with updating your routines. Larry Coyle Larry Coyle...

    "Out OF Memeory In Storage Manager"...

    Another thing to check is the size of your swap file or page file. If you don't know how to check or change this, your IT support should be able to help you. When you have NX running you can also call up your Windows Task Manager and goto the Performance tab. There are sections on Physical...

    Documentation: NX

    Along with your installation of NX3 installed, you need to do so and there is a complete section on Ideas Transition. Wait, at least that is in the NX4 documentation and I believe it is in the NX3 docs. I will verify that for you. Larry Larry Coyle Cylinder Head Engineering, LLC...

    How long can I use UG v15 ?

    The wise thing to do here (especially from a smart business standpoint) is to spend some of your "spare time" upgrading/converting your old GRIP codes to meet the requirements of the newer software. If you wait until the last minute, it is going to really cost you. Theoretically, you can use...

    saved new tools

    Probably the easiest way to do it is to call up one of the tools that is closest to what you are wanting to use within UG and modifying it. You can even give it a different name if you wish. It is really pretty easy. Hopefully you are aware of how to browse for tools within CAM. Larry...
