Today at Aldon

[Carsreunited]

Hi Gang, <br>
<br>
This should be an intersting post for some....<br>
<br>
I went to Aldon Autos Rolling Road today to get the timing sorted for Brands hatch. Quite an interesting day really.<br>
<br>
Luckily I'd booked a place only a couple of miles from Alun and within an hour of being there, the spare parts service that is Alun, arrived with a spare dizzy to oil pump spindle as mine seemed slightly bent and the guys at Aldon couldn't get the dizzy back on! <br>
<br>
My first run showed 144bhp (Flywheel) 117bhp at the wheels, with a big hole in the power at 5250rpm. The hole was so large that at 5100 it was showing 98bhp, at 5250 I had 63bhp!By 5600 I had 98bhp again.<br>
<br>
After a change of coil to an Aldon epoxy filled race coil(The lucas Gold coil was getting excessively hot and the king lead fit wasn't great) and a few jet changes the hole had disappeared.<br>
<br>
Final run showed 157bhp at 6400rpm and 130bhp at the wheels. I now have a useable powerband between 4250rpm and 7250rpm. <br>
<br>
I think this effectively demonstrates the massive bhp variations people experience at Rolling Roads. I had 220bhp at Pete Baldwins. At Thruxton before it went bang, it was as fast in a straight line as the other Dolomite that set the fastest lap. Maybe 220bhp is an over estimation but I would imagine 157bhp is slightly under.<br>
<br>
Brands should be ineteresting!<br>
<br>
<br>
(Oh and the post went up first time for a change)<br>
