Project Fazer: The build thread

[ChristoT]

I was thinking on basis of cure being thicker nut which uses all thread on the shaft, so spacers behind would effectively reduce the advantage of extra thread.


talon sprocket?

Well...

The cure is to a problem that doesn't exist. Accoding to the God of Fazer Engines (Deefer), the sprocket nut should be torqued to either 90Nm or 100Nm (I can't remember which), then the spinning engine does the final tweak up. An air gun torques to 120Nm, which is too much. When the engine does its spin up, it overtorques the nut, risking stripping the thread. The thicker nut allows more "give", and a greater tolerance.

If I understand correctly, the Talon sprocket is shaped to offset the teeth, with the central part staying in position. I certainly don't plan on chucking a couple of washers behind the sprocket!!
