Re: Thinner piston pins and moving pin up in the piston

ok so , its about rpm range too , rod ratio , if your not going to get to avail of he effort , also where in the power band you want the torque , thats the first decision , run a tooled steel pin , we have an engine on 19mm ran 513 before with what came with the pistons , but running tooled ones now

Re: NA Engines: Factors that increase torque

i think there is more in the question
increase torque , trough out the rpm range , or a peek tq number , do you want this in a rpm range , or just torque , as in under 5252 , or torque to drive up hp at higher bhp at revs

Re: Why do engines with a MAF sensor still use an o2 sensor?

Everyone forgot sensor redundancy including em , at that time it would have being 2 sensor redundancy now its 3 , so while it has a function it is also the back up for another failing and also a tool for the computer to flash the engine light

funny just thinking here , he must be of the opinion he will achieve serious vac , so i was visualizing this pan problem , this is not dry sump , so its full of oil , so the oil sitting there would have to be lifted first , i think the bigger problem will be the oil suspended in the crankcase as tho...
