 |
FFI Crankshaft for 1600cc Formula Ford. After market bolts strengthen the bottom end. |
Special Pistons with a shorter compression height to compensate for the stroke increase. 1700cc total displacement. Compression ratio now 10.5:1. |
 |
 |
A Crankshaft Scraper to help the oil back into the Sump. Bought to fit a FF1600, but the Lotus Rods are different and required many hours of adjusting. |
A UJE fabricated Oil Pickup in the center of the Sump. The bolt on the Oil Inlet Pipe ensures that the pipe will not fallout of the Block. |
 |
 |
New Baffles to keep the oil in the Sump. |
Dave Bean recommends blocking the clogged filter bypass in the Oil Pump. The filter has one so this one is redundant. A stronger pressure relief spring was substituted (~50 psi). |
 |
 |
The Oil Cooler Adapter needed a little adjusting to fit the Kent Block. |
A Temperature Sensor monitors the oil leaving the Block. |
 |
 |
A Pressure Plate from a 907 Engine. It requires a special Clutch Bearing and Holder. The Disk is 8.5" in diameter. |
Good advice indeed. |
