Projet 2,7 ltr terminé... parce que c'etait explosé

[Airspeed]

The 2,7 type 4 ran great (13,47s au 1/4 mile dans le 1303 au DDD5) and made 220 Cheval et 270 Nm au dyno.

But a rod broke @ 6000 rpm last week at a circuit/track day and destroyed the engine internals totally..
The car did a extremely good lap time before tho.

Alors, le projet 2,7 est terminé definitivement

Photos of the sad remains later.
A bientot,
Walter

J'ai vu des photos des poussoirs céramiques, ils sont en morceaux, vraiment dommage aussi pour les cylindres alu!

Mais le prochain sera mieux

But yes, on a positive note, Florian and germanbuilder are correct: the next one will be stronger.

Unfortunately, in the meanwhile, two non-obtainable ceramic lifters, the oettinger 80mm crank and the oettinger 103mm nikasil cylinders are all broken.

Maybe, very maybe, the cylinders may be re-used with a very small stroke (66mm perhaps) and a short skirt, high piston-pinned piston..

the word "exploded" get all its sense when we see these pictures...
