CUL8R Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ok guys, Thought this could be a great idea for a Thread. Basically what makes a Bullit Proof Engine, and then we could make a list of such engines that meet those requirements. Perhaps like this: Main Bearing's amount should be 'Number Of Cylinder's + 1'.. Ie 4cyl Should have 5 Bearings. (a "Bullit proof" one anyway) Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 well whatever the engine is it has to have good meat in the block, forgies are the way, nice fastenings eg. ARP troughout. all moving parts need to be strenghtened etc. lightened/balanced everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Unless it's a flat 4, where 3 mains has proven to be strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 There should be a 'NISSAN' cast into the block.. somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
