Its a phone camera fooking great with the auto focus!

The engine was built for 600bhp I did alot of research...listening mainly to Julian Godfrey who rated the std conrods to 600bhp and a std crank to 800bhp (these are what he has seen in rally cross engines so i guess knows his stuff!)..I used a good set of std con rods balanced them...a brand new std crank...genuine cossie racing forged pistons using genuine std bearings which i was told were the best,Grp A bolts...using the EEC4 escos 200 block with oil jets..again the best block there is with liners to .25 to strengthen the walls up,plus WRC long studded...to keep the head down with over 2bar boost!...Then using the BEST head gasket you can,the WRC 4 layer job....lairy cams with double valve springs.

As you all know Rod had a block failure at over 900bhp....and i consider he wasnt using the best ie the EEC4 one (maybe he was..not sure LOL)...so block no probs...crank no probs...rods...on the limit at 600bhp was going to get them shot peened this rates them to 700bhp,but decided to leave std as its a road car so no real abuse..BUT as the aim is max 550bhp no probs at all.
