There is just barley room for them both to close. I haven't ported either set and actually he only built one set, another Tiger owner from the north east area sold me several of his spare parts and he had a set of 289 heads already built exactly like mine. I am running those on a 289 and yes, there is a major difference BUT now I would invest in a set of aluminum heads as opposed to paying the machinist for his time. Luckily for me, when I had the heads built, labor wasn't so expensive and as I mentioned, me machinist was a Ford person thru and thru and enjoyed helping build a go fast Ford engine. If you are going to keep your 260 or go to 289 heads you can increase the size of the valves- depending on the cc of the head. I also highly recommend porting and polishing and if you don't have the patience, the professionals don't charge a ton. I spent $100 on my S5, 1725 head and the work was wonderful BUT that's in southern IL. I'm sure things cost more on the left coast. Hope this helps some. TOO, congrats to "would you believe" for finding his loose bolt- sure did have the list working hard solving that problem. Next time I bet someone ask if everything has been rechecked for torque.

The current top speed for a flying mile is now at 186.192 mph. Changes have been made to the car for this years activies. Oh first, we will not be at Speed Week in August. That event has become a happening and costs have skyrocketed beyond our means. Last year, we paid 1300 bucks for one hotel room for 6 nights. Instead we are going to World of Speed in September: same hotel but costs for the entire stay is 249 dollars. Mods to the car have been few. I mentioned that I built a simulator so that the electronic engine management systems could be run in situ without running the engine. That showed that the missing rpm was not an electronic issue. The car now has a new ice water to air intercooler for the charge air coming from the turbo. The water tank for that holds about 13 or 14 gallons of a mix of ice and water. Last year at WOS, the fuel tank developed a serious leak. The tank was in front of the engine and close enough to exhaust parts to cause worry. That tank was replaced by one that now resides in the trunk. I hand built the fuel cell to fit there. It also holds about a gallon more fuel. The area where the front mounted tank was located is now where the intercooler hangs out. I also changed from a draw through mass air flow meter to a blow through. The blow through is roughly twice the flow capacity and it is the same diameter as teh new turbo to intercooler to motor duct work. The installation is much cleaner than before. After the electronics simulations told me that the electronics were not at fault for lack of rpm, I looked at the data a lot and concluded that the two chinese made waste gates were not working correctly. I borrowed a Turbonetics RaceGate and installed it in place of the two foreign made ones. Control plumbing is way simplified as well by that move. I also slowed down the steering by a factor of 1.5. A short wheel base is subect to twitchy hands on the steering wheel, lol. I also had a dyno day that was nearly disastrous. I had purchased a couple of used police cruiser V rated tires, supposedly good to 149 mph. Inspection showed them to be good. But, on teh first hard pull on the dyno, I literally destroyed one of them! At 164 mph. Enough data was gained though to show that the new mass air flow meter was pretty close. For those who may venture to Wendover, UT in Septmeber, the meet starts on the 14th and runs through the 18th. We will arrive there on the 13th just to park the trailer and get the car out. For any that do come to watch, you are all welcome in out pit, we'll have cold drinks during the day and after days work is done a beer or two. Oh, the car now has two firsts! It has become the world fastest Tweecer ( an engine tuning piece) as well as having the fastest Performance Automatic AOD transmission. Those two with a buck fifty might get me a cup of coffee, lol... Any questions, just send me an email and I will do my best to answer them. mayf Spirit of Sunbeam World's Fastest Sunbeam (wannabe) Not an Alpine, Not a Tiger, just a Sunbeam From drmayf at mayfco.com Thu Aug 5 15:35:37 2010 From: drmayf at mayfco.com (drmayf) Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:35:37 -0700 Subject: [Alpines] [Tigers] Spirit of Sunbeam Salt Flats Plans In-Reply-To: <7265.72c9d87d.398c3d68@aol.com> References: <7265.72c9d87d.398c3d68@aol.com> Message-ID: <4C5B2EA9.40802@mayfco.com> About 550 hp.

Baro pressure at Wendover is about 12.5 psia. Temperature ranges between 95 and 100 degF. Turbo can make that up if the boost is actually working, which it seems it has not been. The dual waste gates were leaking badly and fighting each other. Now the car only has one large wastegate and it did indeed work on the fatal to the tire dyno pull. Yep, just about any old car on the street can make 550 hp any more. I use total seal rings and I already use a crankcase evac system albeit only the exhaust nozzle suction kind. Just trying to kill the suds from the turbo return oil with that. This past season, I did chat via email with someone who asked for my help in running his Sunbeam on the salt. Someone has decided that the bragging rights are a sufficient attraction to go for more than 203.792 mph. So, here is the deal, how about some of you hot rodders building a salt flats time trials car and bring it to the salt? Make it a list effort. I will help you go faster than me. I had a steep learning curve on for all of what I have learned so far, but I will provide you with the best answers I have based on my trials and tribulations so far. I can get you racing the first year you bring you car. Such a deal! I bet there are at least a couple of dozen on the list who can do this far far better than me, lol. Any takers? If so, be prepared to spend lots of dead presidents! mayf Sandy Ganz wrote: >Isn't the answer just MORE :) > >550hp under boost, you should be close to that by now.

I asked several folks about it and everyone said the silicone was the way to go. Some folks suggested omitting the gasket all together. When I installed the header, I coated the the area around the exhaust port and the header flange. I put the gasket on next and then installed the header. I torqued the header down until it seemed mostly seated and let it sit overnight. The next dayI torqued the header down. The car has not been driven very much but, so far, its holding. tom ________________________________ From: Walter Suman To: "alpines at autox.team.net" Sent: Fri, August 6, 2010 1:58:02 PM Subject: [Alpines] Header gasket What gaskets do you use when running headers?

Message-ID: <4C5F566E.7030500@mayfco.com> Here of late, I have been experiencing some serious computer issues. So today, I decided to see if I could find the cause. I ran a program to check for malicious software hiding in cookies and such. None found. The I ran a Norton Internet Security system scan (900,000 files, ouch!) with no issues. So then after heming and hawing I decided to do a disk cleanup. So I open the program files and went to accessories. I selected disk cleanup. I let it run though the C drive and it found that it coul dclean around 237 MB of dsk space up. So I looked over it carefully (but not carefully enough) and I cehcked a box that said Win ME/Installation files.. Gulped and hit the button. Near instant disaster. after a second or two, the screen blinked and everything that was not native XP disappeared! Literally. That included all of my excel files I developed for the web site I have, all of the speciality programs for various folk, all WOrd files are gone, all files under the my douments are gone: all the pdf files I have collected for the last 10 years... Even at that as the screen blinked, I had hit cancel hoping it would reverse the file catastrophe that had happened. Unfortunately now. The blasted thing also did nto creat a system restore point before doing the dastardly deed either. Oh, my email client also disappeared which had my 10 years of collected tiger, alpine, and race car stuff on it. If I didn't live on a ground floor I would jump out the window. I am going to continue to recover this, how, I do not know yet, but if any of you do, please shoot me a note and tell me how. Also, since my address book and everything else went out with teh email client, then how about those of you who have coresponde with me ove the years, drop me a short email so I can add you back into a addy book. Anybody I was working with, please send my your addy for sure! Dan NIcoson, send me your two email addy's? Dave Adin?

It is good to know that everyone is still out there doing what they can to help out. I have always found the posts informative and it is nice to know there is more than one place to get an answer, especially when you are working on your can.

I can order the drain valve from Kip Motor Company, but I9m not sure about the drain hose that runs from under the heater box to the top of the trans tunnel. If it9s not readily available, can anyone tell me the diameter of the pipe? It seems to me it should fit over the the outlet of the rubber drain tray, but that would result in a large pipe! Perhaps there is a heater hose from a modern car that can cut down? My last resort will be to bend up a piece of 1/22 copper water pipe, paint it black and use a little RTV to seal it into the inside of the drain tray outlet? Problems....???? Cheers, Paul in Adelaide, Australia. PS - Chuck! I9m still here mate!
