thanks Brains. after market components such as mounting hardware?
i would love to see those pics.

Yeah it's the same way the world over I guess...my son was 15 when we were going to do a Jr. dragster...we already had a 69 Chevy Nova SS we were rebulding. He was more interested in his Nova, and girls.I only wish Jim, ANDRA over here is set to max 8.5 at 80mph, break out of this and its instant pack up the trailer and head home, not like the US were you have outlaws

Exactly Brains!!!mechanickid, as far as mounting brakets for bicycle frames, you will not find this off the shelf, this component will require to be custom manufactured, the mounting of these engines is extremely critical to ensure safety, get it wrong and it will fail, we crack test all our welds after mounting carrier is installed to frame, I can not state enough how important it is.
Good luck

Nice machine work!G'day Jim & all, Ive come up with first proto type head mod, for you all to have a squizz at, this one is one piece set up, but am going to try and figure out how I can create a two piece, but I will have to redesign a new barrel for two piece, this way I can machine up a few different combos with varying cylinder cc inserts, people will have varying compression ratio set ups they can choose from, straight off the shelf, but to keep the cost down I reckon a one piece will be the way to go.
I will need to do some engine testing with higher compression ratio set ups & see what is the limit before they become unreliable & then use the best design for out right performance & create copper head gaskets from there to raise the cylinder cc volume, And especially to see if I have enough surface area to strip heat, otherwise I may have to look at the whole thing again, but Im trying to come up with a cost effective component to manufacture.
We anodized the part to make it stand out more, as out initial pics were really hard to make a clear view
Its early days yet all, but at least Ive made a start
Cheers All

Joe:So, here's my question....did anybody else do the hack your engine up with a broken hacksaw blade mod?
The guy who originally suggested/posted that (since banned for other reasons) was a whack-o and a half!
He sends me e-mails saying he's going to report me for terrorist threats......
What I am trying to alter is the volumetric efficiency of the Pentworth combustion chamber, basically designed squish area in the cylinder head & eliminating oppertunity of hot spots being created due to increased compression, this way as piston travels to TDC the fuel/air mixture is being directed towards the center of the cylinder chamber as TDC is achieved, this will cause a more violent explosion as the flame travel is being surrounded by directed fuel/air mixture towards the center of the cylinder head & the spark will ignite the fuel/air mixture more evenly, therefore creating more HP by minimizing unburnt fuel left behind due to poor flame travel & poor head design.wow thats art!
please excuse my ignorance, but what does Goldilocks change?
