Croydon Racing on Building The World's Fastest GT-Rs, Breaking The Import Record and RB Limitations

[SPEAKER_05]: So cuts had an issue on Friday night as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: The gearing side of actually broke.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, really.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I have a question that I, it's, I don't, I don't really care if it's embarrassing or not, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: But it doesn't look like you guys bump in.

[SPEAKER_03]: We can, but we don't want to put stress because we're not racing anyone.

[SPEAKER_03]: Just racing the clock.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't want to put stress on the gearbox from that reason.

[SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't, I don't think any other cars, they were not rolling in.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we can bump.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we can bump in, but again, here.

[SPEAKER_05]: is not so much okay when we're out we say June three now we're not racing head to head with anyone we're trying to pee be with a car and run a record so if you bump in then you're putting more stress on the transmission and all that sort of stuff so we go okay you know you can stage the car where you want to stage it and let's go through our process but if you'd certainly come up heads to head head with someone you can bump in no problems [SPEAKER_01]: because I haven't seen a GTR festival, I haven't seen it.

[SPEAKER_05]: No one's bumping in because there was no head to head racing in the GDR festival.

[SPEAKER_05]: So over here, there's not that much, there's head to head, obviously.

[SPEAKER_05]: But what do we do?

[SPEAKER_03]: What do we do?

[SPEAKER_03]: We do chasing that stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we do.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's normal.

[SPEAKER_03]: But when we're chasing the clock rather than [SPEAKER_03]: It's not really a race event.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's a festival.

[SPEAKER_03]: We're trying to run fast numbers in GDRs.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's how Andrew has designed the whole festival.

[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't struck as I guess that happens.

[SPEAKER_03]: They can bump in the bump.

[SPEAKER_03]: The bump is not on everybody.

[SPEAKER_03]: Even the thirty-five is in America's struggle to bump.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's like some hold.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's a bunch of different, you know, sequences.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think I do with a dumb with a paddle.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a little weird to get it to launch and the delay is also the issue.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a hundred percent.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a little strange.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you guys are in Australia the top shop for like the fastest cars.

[SPEAKER_01]: You guys have its underwreckers, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: Do you guys have any close competitors here that you feel like, you know, kind of push you to keep going?

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, obviously, biggest competitor will be my talk rising.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[SPEAKER_05]: We've pushed each other through the years to obviously push the whole big game to a whole new level.

[SPEAKER_05]: So with that competition, you're not going to push yourself [SPEAKER_01]: How was it like in Australia when it comes to shops like in terms of like competition?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[SPEAKER_03]: I suppose when the biggest robbery we had with them is when we were running June two.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: And Kingford were racing to the sixes.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then after we ran sixes we obviously kept going until we sort of achieved our goal, my goal, which was the quickest JDR in the world.

[SPEAKER_03]: And there were great rivals all the way through to the end and onto the next one.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's how it is.

[SPEAKER_03]: And look, rivalry is great.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're a great bunch of guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: We're mates with them and everything, but at the end of the day, when it's after track, it's business.

[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys had any, um, I know, and I don't know, but he doesn't seem to like to lose.

[SPEAKER_01]: He definitely doesn't like to lose.

[SPEAKER_01]: So have you guys had any any who likes to lose?

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want no one likes to lose.

[SPEAKER_03]: But some people can hold their emotions and some people can't.

[SPEAKER_05]: look at me on a time with one with one or lost runs, or races and events to them by point zero zero one.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's happened both ways for a while.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's good.

[SPEAKER_05]: Obviously if they go faster than us, then we're going to come out and try to go faster than them.

[SPEAKER_05]: And we'll do what we can to make that happen.

[SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes it works.

[SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes it doesn't.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think at the moment more than ever, I think we're chasing the world platform.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that rival reason being done.

[SPEAKER_03]: We have a fleet of world-class cars as you can see.

[SPEAKER_03]: These cars will do what they need to do, but we've got Yakuza, which is George's Primord and Zeus.

[SPEAKER_03]: And there's a couple others that are getting built in the background as well, some other Primord that are going to run the RB platform.

[SPEAKER_03]: And at the end of the day, we're chasing the outright import.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that's the goal.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's the goal.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's the goal.

[SPEAKER_03]: Really, that's the next phase of where we headed.

[SPEAKER_03]: We want to maintain our record.

[SPEAKER_03]: That we hold.

[SPEAKER_03]: And obviously get the veal down to five, etc., and all the rest of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: But we've got that ambition as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: Because that really cement all records.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So June two is still in the States right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: It is.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: What's the plan for June two?

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we were, we were planned to go back.

[SPEAKER_03]: Play there and you go.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I think we need to bring it back because some sort of permit has lapsed and we couldn't get renewed.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we're just waiting for Andrew to work out what we're going to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: So if it has to come back, it has to come back.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see.

[SPEAKER_01]: So there's not going to be World Cup happening or anything like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Look, possibly.

[SPEAKER_03]: At this stage, I can't say yes or no, just depends on what we have to do, about the next one or two.

[SPEAKER_03]: And also, possibly when the new cars are going to finish and what we have that we can send there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: So, look, if not this year next year, but obviously, you know, we really want to be there.

[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to meet back at least.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't want to do a couple of years of, you know, like Julia, first of all, and Heltech will come.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, World Cup is definitely the best one.

[SPEAKER_03]: You want to go for us if you've got a card doll then, that's where to do it.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's where Lenady ran their time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but the conditions that they racing, you know, were just two thousand.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, come on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, we don't get those.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't get those conditions here.

[SPEAKER_01]: Really?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the track ends off its head.

[SPEAKER_03]: The conditions are perfect.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, so you probably get a make three, four hundred horsepower, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, just because this is just because, yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Before I came here, people were saying that the tracks here aren't that great.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's all on, but like, you guys have a really nice track.

[SPEAKER_05]: The Sydney track was actually a really good track.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's a really nice track.

[SPEAKER_03]: The facility is off its head.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's probably one of the best track racing facilities in the world.

[SPEAKER_03]: As far as a radial track is concerned, it's tricky.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Prepping it, it's not easy at all, especially if it's not scraped, destroyed by street cars or slick cars or the rest of it, it's an art.

[SPEAKER_03]: But they've had people come and go and it's a lot about the glue and how it's applied.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we've seen days where the tracks are wonderful.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's good enough to run records on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Over the years it's been good enough for us and those days will come back.

[SPEAKER_01]: And this is you guys go there to do it hasn't soon.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we're right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So they're all Thursday.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I thought it was that Friday.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're out there again.

[SPEAKER_01]: So they have something going on every pretty much every day the week or not.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't have the luxury of every probably two, three weeks as usually something two, three weeks possibly sometimes a month it just depends on.

[SPEAKER_01]: They do track run tools though, no, or you can rent it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we do.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: But, but again, those rentals for what we're trying to do, maybe two, every two, three weeks, they're available.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not not every week, every day.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So when you guys do these, because the only time I see these things happening is like, it's, it's private.

[SPEAKER_01]: Is it private rentals?

[SPEAKER_01]: Or is it like the rentals are private?

[SPEAKER_05]: The rentals are private.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I was going to say because I don't know.

[SPEAKER_01]: So the drive way doesn't be okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: The dragway doesn't put on, for example, an event every month.

[SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's dedicated to radios or anything like that.

[SPEAKER_05]: So it's pretty much a group of people that go, okay, you know what, let's book a track that's set off a radios one day radio prep, one night sleep prep, and let's go for twenty cars and everyone will get out.

[SPEAKER_05]: So unless there's an event, everything on end, the track will do a test in June.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: But then it's not ready to prep.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but it's not ready to prep, then you might have a hundred or fifty cars.

[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_01]: So then you get less tracked on.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, right, right.

[SPEAKER_01]: And you guys, when you guys are doing these tests and tunes, are you guys with other people who are the same level, or just begin to be anybody?

[SPEAKER_05]: It's pretty much open to most test of June.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's a pretty much open to everyone's to go.

[SPEAKER_03]: Open, but all these guys, I think either setting up their cars or trying to get fast.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's easier to the same group of people.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So when June two was going down the track at GTR Fest, so it was super cool to watch.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I noticed that you guys would let off after if you didn't get a good sixty foot.

[SPEAKER_01]: So is that is that just a?

[SPEAKER_01]: No.

[SPEAKER_03]: What took us a bit of time to get on top of it?

[SPEAKER_03]: Forget about the trek.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, this is our trek here.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we have to make changes to the setup.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, guys are doing back to back runs and it seemed like you got when it looked like you guys were going.

[SPEAKER_05]: I was like, oh, they're going to go and then you know, back there and actually, you know, what happened?

[SPEAKER_05]: We had a couple of misfire issues.

[SPEAKER_05]: And we're out there.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: And before the six, fifty, we done there.

[SPEAKER_05]: We actually realized their integral of split.

[SPEAKER_05]: So there was water going through the motor.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: And that was causing the misfire.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but the days before the car was also turning left and we [SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah, we had to adjust the, we had to do some adjustments to the forward drive and alignment and that.

[SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, we were battling one obviously set up with the car and then two, we had a leaking into the water.

[SPEAKER_03]: We were just spraying water into the water as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: So water was going into the manifold.

[SPEAKER_05]: So our six, fifty that we done was actually with a herd engine as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: Really?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so that motor was hurt and we're just going, you know, we're here.

[SPEAKER_05]: We ended up taking the water out of the cooler and just ran into that water and whatever happens happens.

[SPEAKER_05]: We'll give it a go and we're here for works of works if it doesn't.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're going home.

[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody told me I can't remember who it was and they were saying that all they like if they succeed footers and good it's not worth hurting the motor.

[SPEAKER_05]: When we're here and we're setting up a car.

[SPEAKER_05]: So we're going to go out with June three now.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're not interested in back door in the car.

[SPEAKER_05]: There's no point unless we know how we're going to be.

[SPEAKER_05]: Especially when you've got a car set for example that when you do throw the horse power you might get a couple runs you might get ten you might get fifteen you might get two.

[SPEAKER_05]: So it's, you know, you put the stress on it when you know you're ready to do something.

[SPEAKER_05]: Right, sorry.

[SPEAKER_05]: You know what it's going to do in the back half.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's a front half way the time's up.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right, which is why I assume that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: But then again, when you're when you're running, I guess you can only as a driver, you can only feel it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Correct.

[SPEAKER_01]: Really know what your sixty foot is.

[SPEAKER_05]: He's done enough laps in the car to know when he's on on.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: The sixty-four is a tell-tale, but if you feel the acceleration where it needs to be between the sixty-four and three-thirty, that's where the increments are.

[SPEAKER_03]: For me, the time between the sixty-four and the three-thirty.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, okay, you can be, you can sometimes have a slower sixty foot.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's still be quicker to the three thirty.

[SPEAKER_03]: So it's not just the sixty foot.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't chase sixty foot times.

[SPEAKER_03]: For me, I chase three thirty numbers.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it's just a good indicator to tell if you have more work.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, of course.

[SPEAKER_03]: You need to dial a current to sixty foot well.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: But that's not to be all in all.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's honestly the three thirty time.

[SPEAKER_03]: For me, that's just how I [SPEAKER_05]: Like if we were we finished up at JDR Festival we're confident if we had one more day we would have peed beat and rewrote the record It was the car was the car was on point everything was there other than the intercooler we saw where to run without six five time the car was Yeah, that's it.

[SPEAKER_05]: We had a fresh motor there ready to go.

[SPEAKER_05]: We had fresh trains if we needed I mean the bottom it was fine.

[SPEAKER_03]: We just hit the head.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, correct.

[SPEAKER_03]: But we didn't have time to change it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah [SPEAKER_01]: Then you guys have an issue also where you will talk a vertebrake.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's what it was.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, talking vertebrake.

[SPEAKER_01]: Can you guys be able to find one?

[SPEAKER_03]: No, we will muddy from Neil Chance, what a champion.

[SPEAKER_03]: When we finally got a hold of him, he drove halfway between [SPEAKER_03]: What was the game?

[SPEAKER_03]: Kansas to Texas.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then I'm on their new left.

[SPEAKER_03]: And the part that broke.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, gave it to us and we rebuilt it, put it back in the day before the last day.

[SPEAKER_05]: So we lost our test day.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: And then we had the intercooler split.

[SPEAKER_05]: We repaired the intercooler.

[SPEAKER_05]: We tried getting the world to put it back on, but it's split again.

[SPEAKER_05]: We got an issue here.

[SPEAKER_05]: So then the last two runs we done, which was the six, five and the six, seven.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: It was done with no ice water and a herd motor.

[SPEAKER_05]: A herd head.

[SPEAKER_05]: So it's, yeah, we definitely had more to throw it in.

[SPEAKER_05]: We would have been wrapped in a thread one more day.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Because the car would have been far.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's supposed to hit over and keep going.

[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that car is going to obviously either stay there or come back.

[SPEAKER_01]: But when it does come back here, what are the plans for it?

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that sounds a bit.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be a globetrotter.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's more of an exhibition, Kanye.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is... This is the first time.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is the... This is the... This is got a shares here that we can now throw some series pair up.

[SPEAKER_01]: So the chassis over there on the RGN-II car was just cooked.

[SPEAKER_05]: You don't want to see that show you that.

[SPEAKER_05]: That car shouldn't really allow to raise needs to go as Craig from SCF because you just got to put in a Perspects box and push it aside.

[SPEAKER_05]: Don't touch it.

[SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_05]: Just leave it easy.

[SPEAKER_05]: If you look at the chassis, the car should not be going as fast as it's going.

[SPEAKER_05]: There is no chassis connectors in it.

[SPEAKER_05]: There's nothing.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's literally got a six-point cage, a tad submission bar work around the driver.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's got the nine-inch diff in the tubular crossmember, and that's all it's got.

[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_05]: So there's, yeah, there's no twenty-five, three cages.

[SPEAKER_05]: We saw, we got that Jordan Madden's old car here.

[SPEAKER_05]: And when we saw the bow working, that was like, okay, this is a lot more than we've got in Jordan and June's half a second faster.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: So what is the expected time with this?

[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think you're wrong with this?

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you are mentioned.

[SPEAKER_03]: Very, very, very low, sixes his name.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to say five, but let's just see where we end up in a few months.

[SPEAKER_03]: And if we see that, you know, it's all working the way one or two.

[SPEAKER_03]: We've got the power to run fives.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but just matter of how much you can pull it out.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is how it all works together.

[SPEAKER_05]: And there's a lot of stuff that we've done on that, well, that's been done on that, you know, barcrigan, the boys that it's here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Is it capable of running fives?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Is it going to be easy?

[SPEAKER_03]: No.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's just, we've got to get this bigger and a lot of things realistic.

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, what I love to see it run a five.

[SPEAKER_03]: You bet you.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that would be just insane.

[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely insane.

[SPEAKER_01]: That'd be it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Never seen ever, but yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not going to be easy.

[SPEAKER_01]: I noticed that I was watching a video on Andrew's channel mode video when you were putting together a motor and you were talking, you weren't talking to the head, but you were putting the studs in.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's people who just hand tighten them, leave it, and then there's people who tighten them down all the way.

[SPEAKER_01]: So what is better, or what are you from your experience?

[SPEAKER_05]: So we screw them all the way down and then you will obviously, they put up a bit like you'll tighten it up a little bit.

[SPEAKER_05]: You're not going to screw it right down.

[SPEAKER_05]: Once it's bottomed down, once it's bottomed down, once it's bottomed down, you might pull ten millimeters on it, five millimeters on it, like it's not much tension that's required there.

[SPEAKER_01]: So you don't just do the hand tight until you can't go nowhere and then [SPEAKER_05]: No, not really always nip him up.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I get his boyfriend.

[SPEAKER_05]: I do buy fuel now.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's not like I've got a set tension that I screw him down to.

[SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[SPEAKER_05]: So, you know, like the same with the boys upstairs, same sort of thing.

[SPEAKER_05]: You'll screw him in and you'll tighten him up a bit by hand and that's it.

[SPEAKER_05]: When I say by hand, you might have an only care or a table or something that you tighten up.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm in like strictly by hand.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, Alan, nothing.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, no, so I'm not going to say leave him loose now.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, because that there is some, I guess some methods that people have done in different platforms and it's just hand, hand tight and then yep, and then leave him.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I wasn't sure.

[SPEAKER_05]: You can do that.

[SPEAKER_05]: There's no, okay, there's no negative side to doing that.

[SPEAKER_05]: Just what you're coming with.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's what it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: I just wasn't sure if it causes issues with like maybe cracking the block if you do all the way down.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, look, I wouldn't be getting screwing your headstand.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's starting down and then getting the three I ratchet or breaker bar and tighten down.

[SPEAKER_05]: You don't want to be doing that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it really is just hand-tight.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, not by hand.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hand-tight is in like, yep, okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Tighten out it's it with the ratchet.

[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then also, uh, gaskets, like, uh, head gaskets and so on.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, it could even be on something like this, or, you know, your, your standard package car, whatever it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, what are you guys doing for head gaskets?

[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, from running the minimalist or run with a neat head gasket, um, with a good success with that.

[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, from there from down anything bigger than that.

[SPEAKER_05]: Um, we'll just go to a firing setup.

[SPEAKER_01]: firing set up with the firing set up you you're doing what kind of gas gets him on.

[SPEAKER_05]: So we're a copper gasket.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, copper gasket with the ring.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, ring coming.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Have you guys ever used brass?

[SPEAKER_05]: The brass rings, yes.

[SPEAKER_05]: So now firing gas gets will run the brass rings.

[SPEAKER_05]: There's obviously a groove in the block where you firing sits in.

[SPEAKER_05]: And then each motor you're going to set up a little bit different with how much protrusion you want on the on the firing as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: So how much crush you get on it?

[SPEAKER_01]: The middle head gasket.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_01]: So use that with their firing as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no.

[SPEAKER_05]: If you go to a firing gasket setup, then you won't.

[SPEAKER_05]: I have done in a past an o-ring, a stainless o-ring in the block, which give you a bit of extra seal on the, so the o-ring will crush into the dual ball seal on the needle gasket as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so you go to set that up obviously at the same time you tune with the machine work.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I have a brass and then I'm also using a nitto with the brass sits inside right inside the block.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's inside of the firing.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's like perfectly the machine shop knows how to line it up.

[SPEAKER_05]: So does a sit on the firing on the needle?

[SPEAKER_05]: I guess good on the outside of the example.

[SPEAKER_01]: It'll sit on it.

[SPEAKER_05]: Because the O-ring will press into the fire.

[SPEAKER_00]: If that's how you get your protrusion.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, pretty much.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: So the Gnida gasket from memory has a two or three-thio protrusion and it might be one or two-thio on that ring, which then crushes into that.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_05]: We've done that as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: We have done that and we have had success with it as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: I had these questions that I was like, oh, I gotta ask.
