Nothing wrong with that iron block…. It’s a great block. Shell Rotella 15w40 T6 is what I used in competitions and never an oil related problem.

For street use, I think a good full synthetic 10w30 would be just fine. 15w40 full synthetic would be my likely choice for any sort of endurance or competition.. If it is a flat tappet camshaft and followers, I’d get some extra ZDDP (Zinc) in there Regardless of use (street or track).

That second picture shows an epoxy filled coil. Mountable in any position.

That’s awesome Randy!!!

Awesomeness with the Milky Way shot!

Huge congratulations Warren! She looks like a right capable beast!

Quite true, the coils will overheat and burn up windings when on their side. I thought that the GT‘s used epoxy filled coils that can be in any orientation..

I would think that. You could insulate that tank from much of that heat - plus the airflow through the nostrils should assist as well. On the Valkyrie, there’s not a lot of options as midship placement would be in the passenger compartment, and not a whole lot of room in the back as I recall.

#1 is the Bobbin Slide where the front clip is supposed to be mounted. The bobbins are to be mounted on either side of the front chassis. Those holes in front of your overflow reservoir are probably the bobbin mounting holes. #2 looks like it may be a vent for the fuel tank.

My iPhone 14 Pro has built-in Satellite connectivity for emergency use off the grid. I am frequently deep in the desert mountains of Arizona and while I’ve not had to use the service yet, it’s comforting to know it’s there.

Looks great to me…. Think of it as any other “flaw” in your cars - 99.99% of the time, you’ll be the only one to notice it/them…

Wow! The drone video sure puts everything into a different perspective! Very nice!

It’s been a while Nick - any updates?

Plastic covered metal - yes. Then a stitched leather cover over the top of the steering wheel rim. That’s what would be safe, period looking and approved by automotive Competition authorities.
