whos clever then

got a question for you all to make your little noodles work so lets see whos clever and can get it right

who knows what the primary purpose of the shim is at the base of the valve springs that sits between spring and the head???

haha got ya

answers pretty simple really

to stop the valve spring wearing its way into the head and changing the compressed spring rate and losing it's tension which in turn causes valve float, you can also use varying thickness to set the valve seat pressure.

yes i can be a clever cunt twice in one day! lol

What he said

you were barred from answering dan so im gonna delete you


too bloody late now

btw cheers for the help with the gearbox today, would have been stumped with that one without me fishface mate to guide me lol

what dan said

lol too late stu beat me to it

okay ask people what the reason is for pre'loading a bearing is then

Or why can women bleed once a month but not die....lol

I can answer the 2nd one first its so they can make are life fookingv misery and say "your the lucky ones" because you dont have to go through this every month you men dont know how lucky you are ". i think that covererd it

Isnt pre loading a variable as in to do with axis , vibration etc is it also to do with seating components or am i looking like a complete cock lol

looking a cock i'm affraid.

Ok I'll guess ! Is it to make sure the bearing has no side to side -up down etc so it retains it shape and function with no movement

Tim

Its to eliminate (give/play) in radial & axial directions. So it has "Zero" radial clearance when an axial load is applied. If there is any radial clearance, vibration and noise of the balls will occur!

been reading wikipedia then......correct

Haha busted Google is your freind!

Atleast i thought i was clever for a while! lol

I would have never thought how educational this site would be, so what is the main weakness of the stock box? Is it a mixture of the components inside and the over all designi fucking hate this crap samsung galaxy on this site it wont let me see what i type lol

the box does'nt really have issues, for drag racing you need to brace the endcase, change the bearing and fit a straight cut final drive/ gearset, for other motorsports a good gearset and thats all thats needed, i know of a few hillclimb cars and very powerfull road cars that dont have any issue's just with quaife gearsets fitted.

Are the braces generaly designed for the straight cut gearsets rather than the quaife? im still toying with that idea as it will be an investment rather than money wasted

yep that was what i was going to be selling them as, it will help on the standard final drive but it won't stop the problem.

I cant wipe my own arse?


Anyone top that?
