Hi Ian
In the meanwhile I have bought a 1 1/2" pressure-fed Phoenix crankshaft and rods through David Cochrane :-) Phoenix just happened to have one on the shelf for an order which had been cancelled.
Did your crankshaft also come with little grub screws to close off the oilways in the crank webs?
If so how did you fix them in place? Loctite?
Similarly, how did you fix the big-end bolts? Are yours also ARP2000 bolts?
What is the recommended torque for the big-end bolts?
ARP recommend their proprietary oil when tightening the bolts so as to achieve consistent torque and bolt stretch values. This is new stuff for me. what do you know about it?
The starter dog that Phoenix delivered turned out to be completely wrong and presumably meant for a different engine layout altogether. I expect to get a correct one hopefully in reasonable time.
The above questions have also been sent to Phoenix but I was wondering what your experience with these things is.
Best wishes
Steve
