Re: Building a 10,000 rpm NA engine.

Great input, love it.

OTom we may need to change the pistons and rods as you suggest but I want to fix the oiling problem and a few other things first, other wise I might waste money on a set of brand new piston and rod that get distroyed.
Are we agreed which are the best pistons and rods to buy and can you post me a link to them. If we all agree I am happy to buy them just won't install till we fix a few other issue. Never though about the weight factor but it would have to help with the crank doing what you said.

Mr Harvey sir (its sunday and I must be respectfull). All your points are correct but (sorry about the but) I don't intend on wasting my time with the current pump. We have moved on, what we need to do is understand what oil isn't getting to the back bearing if that makes sense so then we can do some thing about it.

Don't want to bring this up but what we did with the cooling was measure things then we had number to point us in the right direction. This project is all about measuring things.

By the way I have started a spread sheet with different bits of data so I will all OT weight number if thats okay.
