RE: Smokin L series!

Mal, At 8000 rpm with this combination, the friction loss from bearings and rings totals 67 hp and the pumping losses are an additional 32 hp. Piston speed is over 5000 ft/min. This type of engine is a dead loss over about 5700 rpm, mainly due to high piston speeds.   Cheers Feral Errol www.datrats.com.au         Z24 CRANK AND RODS WITH 89MM FLAT TOPS..   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
