TRANSCRIPTION
Hi guys, it's Brendan from Mini Mania. Today, we're going to go over some of the race items that we can install in race motors that we build here at Mini Mania and for those of you who don't know you know we can we could rebuild you basically anything and build you basically anything.
This is a an engine that we're putting together that has some really high-end components, and since we hadn't done a video on the high-end stuff before I wanted to kind of just go through some of the things that we can build for you.
HIGH END CRANK
This is a an engine that's going to have a high end crank and this type of crank is a lot different from the stock crank. As you can see this is a stock crank right here this particular one is from a later mini and it's got, it has these one in three-quarter inch Rod journals here. This one's more like the Cooper S style, it has the one in 5/8 rod journals on it.
If you'll notice this is the special balanced crank and it has these sort of faux journals in it, which differs from the style that you have with the stock crank and it puts a lot of that rotating mass right down there, right down the center of the crank.
It's designed to take lightened and special straight rods, so the type of rods that are going to go in this and you can see the way that that is oriented, so that's pretty cool
ABOUT THE RODS
The rods compared to the stock rod , they're a lot, they're a lot lighter to begin with. These are about 12 and a half ounces lighter than the stock rods and for anybody who's ever actually built one of these knows that, you know the rods are offset as you can see right there.
These particular rods are not offset. These are straight. They're all straight and so they're also going on to a lighter piston.
These pistons, they're about 4 inches lighter than what would be sort of a stock replacement piston.
HIGH COMPRESSION PISTONS
This is a high compression knurl piston. This is the AE equivalent that you can get now, very nice pistons. These particular ones, they're shorter and they're lighter.
You can see about the difference in size pin height is also slightly different because the length of these particular rods is different; and so we're going to be taking all of these higher end components. We're going to be putting them in a block that's been prepared.
1275 BLOCK
The 1275 block that's been prepared, we're going to be using a CL race bearings and it's going to go in a block that's been set up for this. For this crank and rotating assembly, it's also going to get a lightened flywheel and it's going to get some other goodies and we'll come back.
After the crank is in and we'll talk a little bit more about some of these other Higher-end components that we're going to be putting in this high respect race engine.
