There are two push rods, one long and one small one about 3” long from the lifter to the rocker. The lifter fits into a guide (diesel valve guide) pressed into the head.
The head is another story. We have over two years on the flow bench and I can’t even count how many heads we cut up to get to this stage.
Joe Fontana is absolutely correct on the HP number. He has seen the same engine I saw that is going into a lakester trying for a 300 mph run
. If it does what it did on the dyno it will be a beast.
The air box is built around the style of the Audi LMP engine (I think theirs worked somewhat
). We are trying to blow the air from the top down evenly across the box and build some pressure. The throttle bodies are (height adjustable for tuning) duel barrel valve types that have no obstructions. Tony
