But faulty parts keep backing me into the garage.
At this point I would have dropped out of 3 races due to faulty parts.
At mile 220 with a brand new pre-run motor with all new parts, the Kennedy Pressure Plate tension gave out leaving you slipping at excelleration.
The first thing you notice is the clutch pedal feeling unusual with out a beginning and end to the pressure on your foot.
VW Paradise told me that a high volumn of Kennedy Pressure plates are failing. Kennedy is doing a great job taking them back to be repaired or replacing them at no charge.
So if you have purchased a Kennedy pressure plate in the last 8 months you may want to put some miles on it before you race to make sure it is not faulty.]]> TRANSMISSION / DRIVETRAIN Tech Fri, 18 May 2012 00:33:08 +0000 http://www.class11coalition.com/forums/516-website-feedback/17605-kunena-internal-error#17605 http://www.class11coalition.com/forums/516-website-feedback/17605-kunena-internal-error#17605

I know the casting numbers the heads have to bear (040101375 ending in 2, 13, or 19), but that's about it. Is one casting better than the others? Do heads with these castings come from China, Brazil, and Mexico or just one of the three? Is it pretty easy to find some decent used heads, or should I be looking for some fresh castings? What vendor seems to have the best price on bare or assembled heads? I imagine people are using lighter weight valves, but it also seems to be hard to find light weight valves in stock sizes, what are you guys using?

Compression ratio becomes an issue here too. I'd like to run as much as I can on pump gas, but without a lot of overlap, it doesn't seem like I can get away with too much.

I need to make a decision really soon, and I want to do it right.

Could you guys send us some ideas or pictures of what you did or would do as a front skid plate?

We have some material but lack the actual design


Thanks,

Sent it to the Dyno at vw paradise, Motor and ignition system worked like a charm for a few miles,
then lost ignition spark out of the #1 terminal of the module.
Sent back the system to the Compufire Manufacture.
Anyone have a simular problem with this product.
should i trash the system or if Compu-Fire warrentees it should i try the new one.?]]> CLASS 11 COALITION Sun, 06 May 2012 01:58:59 +0000 http://www.class11coalition.com/forums/504-motor--engine-tech/17529-fuel-deliveryelectric-or-mechanical#17529 http://www.class11coalition.com/forums/504-motor--engine-tech/17529-fuel-deliveryelectric-or-mechanical#17529 MOTOR / ENGINE Tech Thu, 03 May 2012 04:16:49 +0000
