Re: BT 4age dyno run 133.5 bhp at the flywheel :-(

At the wheels the figure was 102. I asked the guy how the 133.5 number was determined. He said using some calculation within the dyno. So the 133.5 figure may in fact be optimistic, depending on what the transmission loses really are. 102 @ the wheels isn't 133... it is far closer to 115-120 flywhe...

Finding true TDC on a 7AG

THIS maybe why your 7AGE is slow... and sluggish :shock: I FINALLY got my hands on an assembled 7AGE and the owner allowed me to check TDC by using a piston stop. You CAN'T do cam timing... if you don't KNOW where TDC is......... well... here it is :ugeek: http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j143/olde...
