I suggest you give up eating chicken wings.. ... Just my 2p worth

FYI, the very first ecu I designed used a commercial way on a YB developed 612 bhp TUV dyno proven as it happens...

Oh and for the record I am a supporter of Mr Shead. I just dont lick his arse at every opportunity like some !

Cossie lifters dont "pump up" with excess revs/heat IME, they invariabley collapse slightly instead.
So its a LOSS of lift you encounter

CossieRich

With this solid lifter thing and loss of lift. Is it only the inlet side that needs to be taken care of or do you have to run solids on the exhaust side as well?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Both sides rich.

Cool Chip. far too much expense for me to bothered about i feel. Will stick with me hydrualic lifters and get som decent valve springs and one of Mark's cams and then leave alone

Mike Rainbird

Bet you can't (leave it alone that is ).

1. It's a Cosworth, so it won't LET you leave it alone (something will require upgrading when it breaks ).
2. Modifying is an official recognised disease - you have more than just minor symptoms, so even if 1. doesn't happen, you WILL be doing something as and when finances allow .

If you are going to track it hard, you will want to go to solids IMHO, other than that I reckon your spec is pretty good now for what you want from it.

Mike,

if you lowered your horrendous prices i would be able to do more mods, more often!!!

Chip,

Thanks mate. we can discuss this over a carvery at some point. Maybe a free one lol

changing the oil makes a difference - castrol rs is shit in the lifters and silkolene is much better ime

Nick,

i only run the Silkolene. have done for a while

wozzy

rrrrrrrrrrrrriveting thread rich. as i don't post on here often i will join all the other experts on here and give you my professional opinion.........................278.41651kph!!

now get that fecking clutch fitted and we'll take her round the m25 with the road angel and see what the old girl can do...... or is that immature, irresponsable and most importantly.......... illegal??

CossieRich

Is the heat of the oil the main reason for this? Or is it a mix of factors?

Mike Rainbird

iTrader: (3)

The engine rpm speed is too much for the lifters and they pump all their oil out and get aireated and they are travelling too fast (outside their design remit) and can't recover and fill back up with oil until the revs come back down. This makes them very noisy and obviously they are not opening and closing the valves correctly.

I have always termed this event as "pump up" (as that seems to be what people call this), but what they really do is "pump out" . Hope this clarifies .

foreigneRS

nice get out clause

He has a get out clause for everything but still a good explanation
