what i need is the video of the cam lobe / follower. As many will know in the automotive world there is not a cam like a Norton cam, it is brutal even in the basic guise. Here in lies the issue, and many have indicated this envelope is proven - it is how we take it from here. The cam I have fitted will surprise many when they see it it, Yes, I can provide an example but it is not the whole story, so far I have managed to produce HC 850 forged full skirt pistons lighter than standard originals, rods forged from alloy 30% stronger than original but I still have a problem, the crank and the push rods, with these resolved, and it will happen, I can then think about providing a system that can deliver fuel quick enough to spin the whole lot faster.
As for oils, do the homework, in the UK the synthetic oil was developed in the 80's & 90'S, it was the best there was but it still contained ZDDP, mobil still list it, but this day and age it has been nigh on eliminated and thus the new synthetic oils are crap even compared to old mineral oils with additives. The order of improvement is environmental, engine design, oil formulation. There are still some full synthetic oils out there that contain at least 1000ppm ZDDP. R40 is very good but breaks down very quickly, multigrades - depends on which you chose to use, mineral, synthetic there are both good and bad examples out there. I got lucky.
As for coatings, some are very good in what they do, I have said that before, again do your homework - why were automotive companies interested in using them, it was to compensate for the crap oil quality derived by environmental requirements, yes it suited racing - short lived = max gain, but the reliability factor is poor. Ask yourself why do most race teams now use very clean modern steels without coatings. At 40 x times the price differential the latest steels blow the coating process away.
Make no mistake, I keep my ear to the ground, I know what is out there, and yes even if USA made I have been the first to try it. I still have a problem where no company in Europe or the USA knows how to process a material - I have sussed the the first stage, and they are still under my bench waiting for the next process. There is now steel out there, just come out from under the US patent, that makes 6 speed boxes inadequate, 7 and 8 speed would be the norm with it.
Come to the open day, see the material and have a chat - you are most welcome, I may even make you a cup of tea.
