Subject: why the change??
In reply to: Mark 's message, "TPSA Meeting" on 12:24:56 09/23/02 Mon

What is up with the short deck only rule??...You guys cant afford a P&G to pump down a cylinder in a car??The 560 limit
is easier with a tall deck motor..and theres no advantage to running a tall deck, other than more cubes.Theres a lot of tall deck 540s and 555s out there that wont be able to run,cause of a limit to short deck blocks.That rule just doesnt make any sense.

[> [> Not sure why someone would build a 540 with a short deck block. We're all about keeping this thing as simple as possible. We considered P&G the motors but it just represented another problem. I guy shows up with a stated 565 and it pumps 572. He says he had it pumped and it was 565. Is he disqualified? Your call. -- Mark, 16:36:32 09/23/02 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> Well what if we already have a 540 tall deck...same cubes...more weight actually with the taller block,and longer rods.It will have a little better rod/stroke ratio, but thats a minor gain.I say if you pump the motor, and it comes up over the limit,either your pump is junk, or the guys cheating. -- Tim, 18:32:45 09/23/02 Mon [1]
