[quote name='BDC' date='Jun 2 2005, 11:59 AM']Like we chatted about on AIM Greg, I'd like to know the difference in engine knock chamber pressures vs. that of a very high horsepower engine producing high chamber pressures. It seems to me that for anything under several hundred horsepower, this might not be useful. From what I understand, the necessity for pinning an engine in this manner is to prevent rotor housing to iron housing deflection. Anybody happen to have any experience with 500+hp setpus that produced actual deflection not from engine knock?



The cars 've tuned so far haven't ever exhibited this but I have seen busted dowel lands as low as ~300's rwhp due to engine knock.

detonation is in the neighborhood of 4000psi, normal combustion is 250-350psi. this is why i keep saying that it doesnt matter what you do to make the motor stronger, if it detonates its still gonna break.



normal combustion is a burn, detonation is an explosion

Hey thought this was gone, sorry I am located in Chicago, we have it all set up on CNC for both 20B and 13B's used to use a drill plate and a HUGE radial drill. I'm not a too big a fan of dowelling but the studs I like.

Define Class of fit



Clearences are same as stock for the dowels, no smaller than 1.5 mm for the wall of the pocket the dowel lands in.
