912 Compression Figures

It can vary hugely but anything from 100 to 140 psi

The main thing is that they should be relatively even - (the same)

I will be interested to hear other opinions

Full Flow Oil Filter Systems

Just a few thoughts
Don`t forget to think about the Rev Counter Drive in your perusals

Also work out the cost of all the Aeroquip Fittings and Pipe if you go for the remote system

Do NOT position the Oil Filter in the engine Bay - you are trying to cool the engine - not warm it up

Straight Cut Cam Gears - Hardening - Filtration and Oils

Mark, You are correct - I was having a little brain fade 2nd under is probably (?) OK 3rd Under will almost certainly go through the hardening I do not agree with you on better filtration - it is the same filtration system unless you add a proper Full Flow System As for oils that is whole new debate...

Straight Cut Cam Gears

I do not know of a supplier in the UK - you will have to find a stockist in the US - sorry but I do not know of one offhand

Punch `Scat` into the Web and see what turns up

356 Straight Cut Cam Gears

David, The HP Gain is very small - the only reason to use them (unless you are doing it for the Sound) is that the Cam Timing is adjustable with the Scat Ones - but you have to know what you are doing Not suggesting for moment that you do not - but Cams and Cam Timing is not a simple subject - It is...

Pully Halves

Pulley halves do seem to disintegrate from time to time and when they do you are in the same predicament as not having a spare Fan Belt You have, of course, already answered your own question but naturally, if you buy a pair, Murphy’s Law says that `you will never need them` As much as I would like ...
