BURTON POWER LAUNCHES A BESPOKE HEPOLITE PISTON FOR FORD PINTO 1.6-LITRE
Oct 17th
Burton Power is pleased to announce a new Hepolite Piston which has been made exclusively for the company to fit the Ford 1.6-litre Crossflow OHV Kent Engine (711M).
These pistons feature +1mm deep valve pockets meaning they will fit most performance camshafts (including 234 and 244) without any further piston modifications.
The +0.110in size is perfect for +0.090in blocks which are in need of a rebore, without going to the expense of large bore forged pistons.
The Hepolite pistons are cast with invar inserts similar to the original production pistons to maintain precise tolerances even when the engine temperature rises.
They have the same deck height as 1.3 pistons. More >

FIND YOUR SPARK!
Oct 17th
New from Gunson is this super-versatile Spark Plug Tester (part number 77176), a mains-powered diagnostic tool tailored for both professional and home mechanics as well as classic car enthusiasts. The tester replicates engine RPM and enables easy visual assessment of spark plug condition and performance.
The simulated RPM output is easily adjusted from 1000rpm to 6000rpm, testing the spark plug throughout this rev range; a plug may seem to be sparking adequately at cranking or idling speeds but breaks down at higher RPM. Importantly, with dual testing ports, users can easily compare two spark plugs simultaneously, assisting in diagnosis. A brand-new More >
