I might sound stupid asking some of these questions but I have a thirst to learn so here goes...
1.I read this sentence in Zoom. 'The motor is dry-sumped to prevent oil starvation during its insane launches' What does dry-sumped mean?
2.'The heads have been ported and polished and fitted with Escort Racing double valve springs and titanium retainers' What's involved in porting and polishing heads? Making them bigger??
3.I hear ppl talking about valve springs, what are they, what do they do?
4.How does an air-shifted transmission work?
5.What are conrods, what do they do?
6.What in the bloody hell does a headgasket do? Why do you need a thicker one when running higher boost? What materials are used and which ones are best to use?
7.The how, what & why of dump pipes.
I've numbered them to avoid confusion and generally make things easier to refer to. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will benifit from the answers so bring it on ppl.
Oh and thanks in advance
