And what is with the chain?
Does that live inside the engine all the time or is a build thing?

🥲Some engines are designed right from the beginning with performance as a priority. (see pic above)
Some are designed to cost as little $$$ to produce. (Look in your driveway)
The thing they have in common are they are able to be driven flat out all day and get you home.
The saying, "can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear" is beginning to make perfect sense!

Wow, I had a look at their 718 5 speed gearbox. $40,000 Euro plus VAT, packing and shipping!!!!!!

that drive the cams on the head. the shaft to which they are connected to is not a cam but the IMS. That thing with the green o rings is a 2 stage dry pump by the looks of it.68BUS wrote:And what is with the chain?

I like the locating pins in the main saddles.

Only $30.000 for the basic engine, up to 2.8Ltr can be built, ready to turbo.

sounds bout right, thats what an engine like that would go for.

I was like what kind of engine cost that much?
then I looked, Carrera quad cam, of course. They cost a min of 100k for a rebuild original. So yeah thats not so ridiculous given what they go for.
but still, deep pocket people only.

I remember reading somewhere about plug changes on these motors. Apparently you needed an "asbestos octopus" or you just pulled the whole motor out.... 🤪Craig Torrens wrote:$156k for the motor.........faaark !sander288 wrote:http://www.capricorngroup.net/fileadmin/files/images/capricorn_Anzeige_Motorsport_UK.pdf

I'll be keeping my stocker for now I reckon. 😉

So how do you set your valves on one of them motors??
vwo60 ·
Plugs would take ten minute's and are visable in the view of the engine in the car, the valve adjustment is the same as a 911 with adjusting screws using a 13 mm spanner and a special feeler gauge.

You certainly wouldn't buy it for the HP! $ per HP could go a VERY long way at half that budget. Just saw they wanted $19,000 for a crankshaft! and $2200 for a distributor... wow!vlad01 wrote:I was like what kind of engine cost that much?

Parts wise, must be the worlds best paid fitters and turners.
vwo60 ·
Nothing to do with highly paid fitters and turners, limited production, exclusivity and quite a few people who would not think twice about it.
