Interesting talk by Dave Vizard on tuning the A series engine.

Part Two - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxccFiAQgZQ Cylinder Heads and valves
Part Three - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUIcEdINWmo Cylinder Heads and valves
Part Four - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCIwAJboZuE Cylinder Heads and valves
Part Five - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWwCtT_CwYQ Minis and Octane
Part Six - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NXl6dJBWaM Cam shafts and Valve Trains
Part Seven - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BIhf4IALTk extending cam duration to the limit
Part Eight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT1PeyJMvtQ extending cam duration to the limit
Part Nine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucLYU7z9ct8 - hints and tips

I believe this was filmed in 2010 in Australia. It's quite technical but fascinating all the same - enjoy :-)

Many thanks for the links. :D

Will help not with my 803, but 1300 Aggro for which I plan to tune somewhat. :wink:

Thanks for the links. Have played some of the 'cam' ones and loved the response when asked why a 320° scatter pattern cam didn't work very well in a street engine with a CR of 9.75??!! Try ~14:1, amongst other things, was the answer.
