You may be alright at 75, although that is on the high side, but I have seen many racers jack it up to 80-85; /html/mgs/2002-03/msg01119.html (7,755 bytes)

But his relief valve was set on the high side, I assume by him at the same time as he changed the pump.

One is toward the rear of the camshaft and the other is part of the oil pump drive that mounts in the block.

388. Re: Super-Maggot? (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 14:28:22 EST; Some engines have limits intentionally designed in, normally making them that much more reliable. It is a sad thought that the pushrod MG head was the best that the designers of the day chose to do -; /html/mgs/2002-02/msg00265.html (8,268 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 16:13:52 EST; Yup - the non-crossflow head is a dead end no matter what material it is made from. The crossflow head could easily be modified for port injection, but there is no market out there to fund that sort; /html/mgs/2002-02/msg00271.html (8,960 bytes)

In fact the shorter the stroke, within reason, the better - the piston sideload is not the most important; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00045.html (7,185 bytes)

By using the lower diff ratio, the car is slower through the gears than it would be with the regular ratio. The fact that you may have tuned it is irrelevant.
