So Roll centre kit fitted (didn't grab a pic so here's a library pic)
I was also having issues with fuel surge, on long right handers if below half a tank. So dug out my old fuel setup from the shed. And I had a spare hour so chucked it in (the red wire was just a mock up to confirm it all...
Another video, with me chasing mick@diamond.
Also need to fit a swirl pot due to the surge you see I experience on right hand bends.
I also have some new seats
And Fully Rose Jointed front end (along with roll centre correction kit) to fit.
But, fatigue also comes into it. You could probably run 400lb-ft on a brand new set of rods. But a set of rods that's potentially done 40k at 300lb-ft? Tick tock...
IMO any more than 270lb-ft and you're asking for trouble, the megane rods are no different to the likes of the 197 ones. Chip bent rods on his, and his was only doing the likes of 260/270lb-ft.
You are aware rod bolts don't increase the torque capability of the rods aren't you?
The problem...
Sadly it's not just a case of fitting the spare crank matt, the swarf will be everywhere internally, and most likely the head and cams will also be damaged.
