Does anyone have a make and part number for a replacement alternator to fit the 1700 Kent Super Sprint engine fitted in the 90's Caterham? Thanks all John

I have a set of used Titan Roller Rockers of the high lift type 1.69:1. I need a set of Titan Roller Rockers but of the Standard 1.53:1 version. Would anyone want to make an even trade?

Sorry Locost, did not see your post, will keep you in mind when I find the new header for my car

Thanks for the tip, seems he is well liked, I will call him

I am looking for a source in the US to buy a new Kent 244 cam (kit). Bean does not stock so unless some one else in the US sells them, I will have to source one from the UK. Any ideas in US? I know of Burton Power in the UK, any others? Thanks

No it does not have to be BDP, thanks

Are these wheels still available? Thanks for your reply

I am looking to buy used BDP forged connecting rods (5.23" long rods) for use in a AX or 711 block Ford Engine Also on my list from previous post, FIA Roll Bar and dry sump parts Thanks all John

Rettedm I have the exact car, do you find a replacement for the /Valeo Alternator, with same mount and wiring set up. Can you tell me make, model part no, whatever you can. Thanks

I have the stock tubular header that came with the 1700 Super Sprint OHV engine from my Caterham circa 1991, when I bought the kit. I am looking to upgrade to the competion exhaust manifold in which case I will be willing to sell mine or trade or? Any leads on a competition header would be appreciated.

Was the engine sold. If not send PM or email me at johng at servco dot com

WTB Super Sprint 1700cc engine with AX block complete, running or with needs. Send message or email to johng at servco dot com

Interested in the engine complete but without transmission Curious my 91 was all black from factory, was this special painted green to match the wings and nose? Let me know price

Thanks guys for putting my HP numbers in perspective. I was always referring to crank HP and now seem to remember the local market might have gotten close to 135hp with higher octane fuel and that the US cars were detuned to close to 125hp. Has anyone heard that tale? I am really happy with the HP I have now and whatever I do to increase it, even by 20 HP will make me even happier Thanks for all the advise, would love to hear what other owners have done to bump up engines from stock

I was lucky enough to run the Mille 4 times, 1996, 1998, 2001 and 2003. Finished them all too which was our goal. In 2002 I ran the Targa Florio in Sicily which had incredible runs on the old Madonoe Mountain Circuit. Going to spectate the Mille is fun too, you can see the cars fill the squares for tech in the afternoon, see the Thurday night start that night, drive in the morning to an Umbrian city like Gubbio and sit in a road side bar and watch the cars go by feet away, same the next day in Tuscany and make it back to Brescia for the finish that Saturday night, friends have done it too. For the driver, 48 hours start to finish with a few hours sleep two nights I ran Monterey from 1995 to 2006, year 2000 the best at it was the Maserati year and we had 5 OSCA's there. I retired the OSCA after 2006, can't afford to hurt it and cannot seem to drive less than 10 tenths. We go to Monterey every year, stay a week in our trailer in Moss Landing and take in all the events. Take Care, john

Hi guys I just went through the Factory build manual that came with my car which included engine specs The 1700 AX block SS motors as follows: HP. 135 at 6,000 RPMs Torque 122 at 4,500 RPMs Comp ratio. 9.75:1 Formula Ford kent engines getting 110 HP with downdraft Weber and mostly stock parts I could be wrong but don't see how this engine could be putting out 95 HP It's never been dynoed maybe should start there John

Hi Croc OSCA's are the result of the Maserati brothers selling their company and their name and setting out on their own in 1948, there after they built about 100 coach built racers over a ten year period winning their class in many prestigious international races including first OA in 1954 Sebring 12 hour The engine has a 1500cc steel block with twin cam, twin plug aluminum head. Twin Weber DCO3 40mm carbs with about 135 HP engine The car is aluminum bodied and weight 1200 lbs There is an interesting article if you want to read the history of the marque...Google OSCA Automobile Quarterly Lawrence Crain

My first race car I built, photos from Vacaville circa 1972 and Monterey mid 70's

My other race car an 1955 OSCA MT4 at Monterey and Mille Miglia
