When working to tight tolerances, the correct piston to bore clearance is critical. Cosworth recommend a bore clearance as low as 60 microns, so any tight spots may lead to a catastrophic seizure. The engine build specifications are recorded to ISO standards in case we need to rely on them at any time in the future. The Cosworth components are very consistent but we still process the rods to ensure the rods are balanced end to end and the pistons are also balanced, all within 0.

The main cap girdle is very substantial in order to enhance the stiffness of the crankcase assembly and prevent crankshaft whipping. More pictures of the Cosworth engine components. The main girdle is fitted to the cylinder block to ensure that the main bearing tunnel is within size and straight. The geometric centre of the engine in a lateral sense will be considered to lie on the centre of the crankshaft and at the mid point between the centres of the forward and rear most cylinder bores longitudinally.

These regulations meant that the Honda team would have to check the materials, positions and details very carefully at the design stage. The torque curve is not smooth on a V8 and that created challenges from the point of traction control. It took us a while to flatten the curve out.

Other teams seemed to be pushing hard the rev limit to ascertain engine loads during the early stage of each race. The engine was capable of running at 20,rpm momentarily, but to run it consistently at that speed throughout a long race seemed impossible. And other similar problems dogged the team for some time afterwards.

Many of them were caused by the uneven quality of the parts affected by vibration in the crankshaft area.
