They are tagged The Arrow rods have ARP2000 bolts in them , the ones that came with the pec rods are upgraded to high rev ARP 3/8" bolts i'll speak to Arrow and if they say the uprated ones from PEC are better i'll keep them

PEC sent out the pistons rods and bearings before I could cancel the rods , so had them delivered yesterday , and the Arrow rods I ordered yesterday turned up this morning , you can see the difference in quality and machining when they are side by side , but then at £860 just for the rods you...

no we don't have any data , it didn't feel right at around 5.10 into the stage , and you will see me just back off a bit , I had a quick look at the dash , nothing obvious then carried on hard from the 2nd gear right by the armaco , I don't think it was oil surge in those series of bends , the...

no we have no knock detection , looking at the head and pistons there is no evidence of det though

photo above of one of the other mains and big end , some marks but nothing like the centre one , no signs of detonation , but after having it dynoed and tuned in the car on the rollers and road I wouldn't expect any

I bought ACL bearings , can't remember if they were both sets or just the big ends , sure Fred will know

The rod has broken in the same place where that Cat rod has broken in Sandy's photo , but you can clearly see mine has has a hell of a time before letting go ! just had a phone around and have ordered a set of Arrow rods so will cancel the order for the PEC rods and just use the Wossner pistons...

even the revs i'm using ? hard cut at 7600

the second photo is both shells from the centre main

I have just ordered a new set of rods bolts and pistons from PEC , but upgraded the bolts to the new stronger ones just in case , so hopefully get it back up and running soon as , so those in the know , what oil pressure should I be running at a minimum considering the use , was looking over my...

Uploaded the incar video onto youtube , I have used windows movie maker and the quality if crap ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCEsp1wUVqk

does anyone know a programme so I can crop the video , I left the camera rolling until the battery went flat and its over an hour long , I only need the first 8 mins or so of it

the oil pressure dropped a bar and blew straight away , it was at this pressure for a split second , I only know this after watching the incar video a few times , I didn't see all this happening on the rally

Cam belt pulley won't slip on mine if the bolt was slightly loose as it has a keyway , I'm making max Power at 7200 revs so I cannot see flexing being an issue with me , the BDA will probably rev another 3k over mine so would need a steel crank , mine won't at those revs

Might have been a rod bolt breaking if it hasn't done the bearing like you would expect ?? I'll get the sump off today and have a look

They are good , as are the cams , there was oil everywhere , and the oil is clean , it is not contaminated at all , I was expecting to find copper from the bearings , but there is nothing

Good news is the head is ok , the piston has made some contact with the valves as the soot on them has been cleaned off , but a quick check the head seems ok , haven't checked the valves yet but if the 4 need changing its not the end of the world , I was expecting to see a right mess in there ...

what oil pressure do people run ? is there a way of upping the pressure in the standard oil pump , or does anyone do an uprated one ​Cheers Ian

Yes put some pics up

did you buy tagged bearings or modify the block and standard bearings , when reading this morning about bearings spinning that was my first thought is if I can modify the block and bearings to tag them so they don't spin , or less likely to , I have read that some of the rally guys with the...

we had 2.5 bar of oil pressure up till the moment it went boom looking at the video , 200 yards before that we had 3.5 , thats the only problem with the helmets we use , as they have the built in intercoms , it suppresses the outside noise so well you can't here when things are going wrong so...

just found this melted to the bumper so not holding out much hope for the head ! just need to find the pin and piston now lol

Probably , just watched the incar footage and you can see the oil pressure dropping slightly until it went bang , I'd say its definitely crank related , I could feel it go off song , then went tight as it went bang !

Not a good day today , 3rd stage the engine decided to throw a rod out of the block and destroy itself , I'm hoping it hasn't damaged the head , or if it has it can be fixed , was running 1st in class and 10th overall at the time :(

Just a quick one to say my car is back together and working fine , I'm rallying tomorrow up on Epynt again , did the recce and scrutineering today , up at 5:30am to head back up to do the rally , looks like my prayers have been answered and got rain , it will give me more of a chance with the...

​No I won't be doing pembrey again , won't be doing anymore single venue rallies , doing the next 2 epynts then hopefully Wexford in September , going to do more rallies in Ireland on closed roads instead

Are you doing Epynt in 2 weeks ? If not when are you planning to be out

the small pipe in my pictures come from the top of the tank , i'm sure its the only one mine has
