Typical tuners sizes are .50 Max, PJ wouldnt recommend i use any more than that. Ford do shells of the shelf at .75 though and not heard of anybody use bigger than that in a cosworth YB I am using .75 now so is there anythin to be done with the crank on my next rebuild or is it scrap??

[quote="Alvyn"]think it goes .25 .5 for Cossie's and .75 are a Pinto size shell IIRC

although a few people have used the .75 shells in Cossie application it's NOT recommended by tuners when in big powered lumps if that helps
