Location: barnsley | Tom Sanderson - 18/1/2011 9:22 AM Why have you gone for hydraulic lifters rather than solid ones? i used hydraulic as i had a new standard profile exhaust cam for hydraulic lifters and couldnt see point in having one made to take solid lifters so i kept that and had a inlet cam made to take hydraulic lifters to standard profile |

No need to go solid unless your going above 7500 |

Location: a pub in yorkshire | Solid lifters reduce drag on the cam and you dont get the lag from the oil pressure build up needed for a hydraulic lifter. May be very slight though i have never fitted them to a k series. |

Location: barnsley | got the gearbox out today and removed the clutch ,flywheel,crank pulley and cam pulleys to take with me when i go to pick the pistons up then i can go straight to vibration free for them balancing also found that im going to have to use the alloy thermostat housing and early metal pipe off my old engine as the later metal coolant hose that attatches to the later plastic housing routes the wrong way and wont fit

| the water / oil cooler from a kv6 can be made to fit here its a good solution for an oil cooler if tight on space
I will see if i can post a photo
the guy that did it is very clever, he has custom made quite a few parts on his elise

| yes its very neat but i have 3 oil coolers as it is
1) large fromt mount for oil ( fitted on an elise )
2) small front mount linked to large for turbo supply
3) water/ oil to control the temps ( warm oil from cold then keep temps constant )
bit of overkill really

Daz assume failures are oil and water mixing etc |

At what point do they come in and out of the block, you couldnt take pictures of it could you? the oil feed for the turbo comes out of the top of the oil filter housing through a steel pipe and the return goes int the oil ladder dont really have any pics at the moment of the turbo but there may be something if you look through the journal |
