    wideband sensors

    They are pretty accurate on the rich side. Lean side is not as, but we are tuning for max. power WFO/WOT or just heavy load. Fat is where it's at. Fuel economy, etc. can be, and should be tuned without wide range O2's. Unless you wanna keep the catalyst at peak efficiency.:laugh:

    Good point. These thimbles are not small. Sweet spot is in middle of the pipe, but that spot is not in the center of the thimble. Just keep it hot and place them where you can.

    wideband sensors

    High mass flows thru long end of the bend. I.E. high velocity tends to take the easy/long way around. Much less takes the short side radius. Exhaust/air/O2/fuel piles up on the short side of radius. Momentum tends to stay in motion someone said. Reading O2 in exhaust on the single pipe/cyl is...

    Any free O2 out is lean. It will burn with CH8 in the chamber unless so.

    6" is optimum Jim is right with O2 mixing. 6" will negate those fears, unless at the bend in the pipe. 18" or so may be only alt. cliff

    wideband sensors

    Wide range(band) need 700°F to operate properly. Internal heater may get cooled off at the tailpipe. Always turn them on before starting to pre-heat. Otherwise thermal shock will kill em. Especially cold start moisture(water drops) cliff

    The complexity of modern valve trains and maintenance costs

    Maserati 4v DOHC heads on a 2.2L Chrysler engine was a chore on a dyno! Shims under buckets! Out of spec? measure, calculate. Remove cams. Replace shims, buckets. Replace cams and cross your fingers. 16 valves 2 cams and 23 shims. Bloody Italian engineering lasted 1 year, if that. Thanx Lido...

    WTF pictures

    A bit rough in execution but yes, a work of art. Late 80's to mid 90's following GTP and F1's my best "sounding" was/were the 4 chamber Mazda(loud bastard), Peugeot V12 and my fav, Lambo V12. The few Jags were OK, but, Jags,Ferrari's sounded like a turbine. Hart V8 was special as well as the 4...
