    machining rod journals

    Is there any risk to machining the rod journals on a crank (forged steel) to suit 2" (50.8mm) small journal chev rods. The standard rods have BE which are 51.9938mm. I'd be looking at nitriding or cryo treating the crank. COmments on the latter is welcome.

    CV joints and friction

    I have new CV joints that I'm about to fit and they feel quite stiff without CV grease. The first questions is: does this mean there will be added frictional losses? Are there any tricks I could employ to decrease the friction such as disassembly of the CV joint and polish the ball bearings...

    Brake Booster calcs

    I would like some assistance in working out the contribution on pressure/force of brake boosters (twin boosters, in this case) in understanding the forces in braking. Everything else is mathematically straight. There are space considerations which warrant the removal of the boosters and use of...

    Engine torque plate for boring/honing

    This may be a loopy idea but I'm thinking about making a engine torque plate by using a redundant head and machining boring holes, more or less, 'up through the combustion chambers'. Will this work or should I keep taking the little white tablets?

    Welding aluminum heads

    I need to weld up some combustion chambers on an aluminum head as part of reshaping. I'd appreciate views on whether this will impact on the integrity of the head and whether I will need to get it heat treated.

    Stroke rod ratio

    I have been asked to build a BMW performance engine (low boost turbocharged) using the M10 block and the crank from the 87mm stroked 2.5 liter M3. This is a little out of the ordinary for me and have been doing some research on the Bimmer engines. With the 135mm M10 rods, the standard r:s ratio...
