Litchfield 2.5 cdb, Anybody running 1 of these?
Hi all,
I know Bob Rawle is using 1 of these but was wondering if anybody else had gone down this route? If so does anybody have a price guide? cheers... |
The only way to find out is phone Iain Litchfield.
|
Read the spec, it will be mental £'s ;)

Are all the CDB Litchfield blocks cryo treated?
|
I dont think any of them are. But i've looked into that and theres a company named frozen solid that can do your block, crank, pistons, rods and bearings for around £600. Im looking at doing a step by step build so just looking at getting my current block converted
|
Paul Finch (Finch motorsport) and Alyn (AS performance) are doing similar

yeah i read that to. the way i understand it is he had a converted block from litchfield sent away for treatment and then onto finch motorsport for machining
|
-196 nice! wonder what medium they use... google here we come!!!
|
im guessing they'll use liquid nitrogen, but still quite impressive getting down to 77°k. wonder if they do it in stages or if they just blast it straight down to temp, also wonder how long its held at said temp for
|
liquid nitrogen it is then!! freezes at 66k! jesus thats not very warm!
Mixed with helium.. |

becoming brittle would be an issue i reckon if they just blasted it straight down, gotta let the molecules get used to it slowly??
:wonder: |
If you read Bob's project thread again, you will find that the blocks were machined for the insert & fitted, all machining was carried out prior to cryo treatment, they then were line honed, & final piston honing carried out, the cryo treatment can cause distortion to machined tolerences, out of a batch of 3, 2 did have rear main out of tolerence issues.
