chargespeed is chav end of.
chav is a lifestyle, not an expression of wealth.

Would anybody deny that multi million pound winning Michael Carrol is a chav?

Shaun, takes one to........
seriously, you'd rock at the hustings (you sucked on BB mind )

Personal preference is one thing, but then researching true facts about what is and what is not possible is my preferred option.

Whilst I would never say I will experience any problems with my block, I doubt I could ever say anything different even if it was linered. What happens, happens. But so far so good with over 8k (and that includes a mix of track use, both public and competition), running around 530bhp/550lbft. Although my block has been modified post delivery from Cosworth and pre install in to car (but not with liners).

More than one way to skin a cat and I certainly have never seen evidence that suggests either way is full proof.

You pay your money and take the risks.
Shaun, i was not saying that it is my personal preference, but a personal preference or rather a free choice of the person who is doing the build whether to liner or not to liner.

I have researched alot of information on that topic and i would personally never run what you are running and feel safe as you do. I have personally opted for the closed deck 2.35 build but i know alot of people who run relinered 2.5's and some of them are running over 600hp - would you run your unlinered block at over 600hp for long ?

serega,
Yes I would run at 600bhp+ on my current engine, if I had the need to. In fact I hope to get somewhere near approaching that, having my current set-up mapped for VP Import.

600+bhp has already been run without ANY liner issues on this Cosworth engine in Litchfields TA winning car during 2006. With 90% of it's use for the Time Attack Championship in 2006, being nailed within an inch of it's life.

Like I said, nothing is full proof when trying to extract 500+ from these puny engines, so I am under no illusion.

Peanuts,
You have lost me on that one!

Shaun, I lost myself to be honest

I meant that you managed to put together a whole paragraph that seemingly said nothing at all, typical actions/behaviour of Westminster's finest.
