Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

Those had issues when new and stock. Oil pressure to the cams , water pump failures and warped heads . Continual exhaust manifold gaskets. Nothing good . Yeah the SAAB gave TR the rights and design for the TR7 engine and the Stag is twice the SAAB. Thank goodness the Stag usually rotted away soon en...

The angle of the spring under deflection determines the axle shift . If the front is lower then the rear, the axle toes in as that side is depressed .
Other than shifting this angle, no problem .

Waste . No power change or running change. So far, I have not seen a reason to go sequential for fuel or ignition.
The 907 wont care. IMHO. anything is an improvement over the OE.

I worked on the British Bikes when I was around 16-18 and later. I currently own an 82 Honda -450 street bobber ish. Fitted with Chinese shorties post crossover box, It sounds exactly like the TR 650 if you short shift it at 7000. Flat tracked a few ST1 rigged with long rod Tr engines . Fast for a f...

I'm moving away from the LS coils. Big, heavy and use a lot of juice for NA engines. The VW 4 post coil works fine. makes the same power and uses less juice. I have both tho .

The all alloy BBC is a little under 550. I was comparing to iron BBC to alloy bits of SB2. It looks like a limited tire rule class and tons of fun. Of course- The best lap times are the result of applied power/torque . The more pedal that you can keep down= the faster the lap. Having peeky torque or...

The Cup style SB2 has a large linear torque curve and RPM range that is very easy to drive. It will crush most built BBC . AS mentioned above - Make the TQ very soft with a 110-112 LSA cam / Mild is better . The closer it is to having torque at 3000RPM, the better it will lap . Use a tall final gear...

You can also use some flux and braze the leaky spots.

You;ll probably go faster without the rear sway bar. That style does bind up and the dynamic spring rate goes way up as it binds.
I try to use little or no sway bar on the driven wheels for a lowered road racer.

Call Total Seal .

Measuring the CC at BDC takes into account/measures the piston dome. It is the exact way to measure compression. measure again at TDC and you have it . I use ATF for fluid . You can measure the dome with the piston down the hole also, but actual BDC CC is closer .and the math is easier . Takes a lot...

I use 050 or 58. Broke a couple of the 040 bits off in nice pistons.

They pass a lot of dust. But make power if the charge is cooled.

I spent a lot of time getting British POS to pass our emissions testing. Typical settings, 4 bottles of drygas per 8 gals of fuel. Advanced, fixed timing. Trimmed fuel mixture. Often lowered floats and loosened the valve lash to 030 . Light oil . make sure that the intake had all of the heat that yo...
