Hi doug was great working with you. Didn't relise it was the same doug sweetman on here!! That's Keirs r35 he was having some tyre insues but was
starting to get a handle on it by the last few runs. I haven't pulled my car apart yet but think I cracked a barrel it was blowing a little puff of
smoke on back off all weekend and was down on power. On the last run I did it developed a compression leak. It was a pity as I just put slicks on it
for the first time and couldn't really try them out. We have just built a 4.3 litre engine for Keirs car and it is making some insane amounts of
power. Should be very quick next year.

G'day Adam ! Great to see you obviously enjoying the new slicks.... Coming over the top of the hill in that first corner looked right on the edge in
the vid !
Bummer about cracked barrel though, that must be quite unusual in an NA bug though ? Where do they crack ?
Wow 4.3 sounds like a monster for the r35..... After going that big I presume it would have aftermarket turbos on it now ? Will be a weapon.....

Hi Doug
I have experienced a crack on a couple of my cylinders as well.
It normally is at the top of the barrel and runs in line with the piston direction.
When it occurs, it blows out a compressive fuel air charge past the copper ring and cast cylinder and in my case resulted in a perfect oxy torch cut
through the head.
Adam's engine choofing ( special VW termanology ) didn't sound that extreme and will be fixed in no time, ready for another day.
From Adams friendly competitor Rene'

Got my engine apart. It has put a nice crack in the barrel and marked up the head a bit.easily welded though
Had anyone else cracked barrels before. It shows no sign of detonation. They are AA brand barrels
Keirs r35 is running pretty small turbos as he wants to make go power in the lower rev range. Sebs pilatas r35 makes more top end bit it's only in
the last 1000 rpm that it makes more than Keirs.
I do like to slide it around - probably not the fastest but heaps of fun!!

Are they the forged or non forged type?
Have heard of the non forged barrells cracking, and also probs with pistons when reved hard.
Guess thats why they sell both types.

I didn't know there were 2 types of barrels. They look like just cast ones. The pistons are forged AAs though
