Hi Mitch,

My engine is a repair (for burnt pistons) of an engine that Richard had in one of his cars.  I would have sent him my engine, but he offered his rebuild directly, with no core.

Given that history, I’ll answer what I can:

·         Believe the crank is just a standard Lotus 2.2L.

·         Rods are Carrillo Type 4.

·         Only Richard knows the flywheel and clutch info, but the Flywheel is not super light.  I did not want the instability of super light Flywheel.

·         Cam is Richards own grind:

o    Intake lift (net) = 0.4085”

o    Exhaust lift (net) = 0.4065”

o    Duration at 0.050 lift: Intake 235 deg, Exhaust 240 deg.

·         Crank bearings are Vandervelle.

I’ll send the engine build sheets to your direct email………..

Pete
