But it is a race engine (2720cc) and the owner has already bought 3 good secondhand 45 Webers with identical progression holes : 36mm main venturi's seem to be a reasonable starting point in this case? If necessary, he can go down to 34mm in 45 Webers.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'> I've seen TR6 racecars with 45 Webers and I wonder if the Cannon manifold, with 40mm diameter bores on the carburetor side, can be reamed to 45mm? </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Another question : the valve seat pressure on my TR4A racecar is 35 kgs/77 lbs.

It would mean increasing the radius by 2.5mm (~ 0.100"), but I wouldn't do it until 45mm soft mounts can be obtained--if only 40mm are available, then it's a waste of time and money. I would recommend that the shop doing the machining find a suitable diameter end mill with a 10-15 deg. taper, just to minimize the finish work required and to make a smooth transition to the smaller manifold bore.<br><br>I don't actually understand the complaints about 45DCOEs being too big for a moderately-sized six-cylinder. For all-around use on the street, 40s would be more than enough, but on the track, 45s are fine. In fact, I recall 45s with 38mm main venturis being used commonly, but mostly on engines tuned to 7200 rpm or so. The advantage of Webers is that they have lots of spares to tune to carburetor to the application, although the expense of having such spares on hand for tuning is rarely part of the equation.<br><br>As for valve seat pressures, they're not as important as having just enough spring pressure to keep the follower tracking the cam profile. For normally-aspirated engines, anyway (seat pressures become more of an issue with supercharged engines, when too much boost can push a valve off its seat if the static spring pressure is too low). The lower the combined weight of the valve train, the lower the spring pressure required. The steeper the ramps on the cam, the greater the spring pressure required to overcome the acceleration of the valve train parts. So, it's kind of a balancing act, and one that can usually only be handled on the dyno, while looking for power drops at high rpm due to valve float.<br><br><br>Cheers.<br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>-- <o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Michael Porter<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Roswell, NM<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Never let anyone drive you crazy when you know it's within walking distance....<o:p></o:p></pre></div></body></html>
