EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust system consists of a
manifold
and a pipe. The exhaust system has
two functions, to optimize the engine
performance and also to lower the noise level. The noise level is
determined by the number of chambers used in the pipe, while the
performance characteristics are determined by the shape and length of
the pipe and manifold combination.
Shortening the length of the exhaust system will improve top-speed
performance at the expense of some bottom-end torque, and lengthening
the exhaust system will improve bottom-end torque at the expense of some
top-speed performance. However, shortening or lengthening the exhaust
system beyond a certain point can dramatically decrease performance.
When using an IN-LINE exhaust system, there is no real need to worry
about the right length as this is pre-set, however it is very important to
install the pipe and manifold assembly so there is no stress or tension on
the alignment of the two gaskets. During the use of these IN-LINE systems,
regularly check the gaskets and replace when necessary.
STARTING EQUIPMENT
To be able to start your engine you will need a starter box unless your
engine is configured with a pull starter. A 1.5V glow plug driver is required
to power the glow-wire for starting.

MOUNTING THE ENGINE IN THE CAR
Before installing the engine into the chassis, check that the bottom surfaces
of the engine mounting blocks (the areas that will touch the chassis) are
