1982 Ralt RT3 F3 Racecar

Спорт

Hi.
In today’s video I carry out repairs to a 1982 Ralt RT3 F3 race car cylinder head. Out of interest the car is the same model which Ayrton Senna had his first F3 win in.
The engine is a VW 8v built by Brabham / Judd originally.
Hope you enjoy, please subscribe and leave the word Senna in the comments section.
Thanks
James

    Nice Instructive Video ! But How fine do you cut an exhaust valve before you say, NO ! This valve will burn through too fast ? Stay safe Stu xx

    Thanks Stu.. I'd say these were right on the edge of being no good, I did advise him to replace but I think he wanted a season out of it.. at least these are a very good material

    Super video yet again Fully understand if you wish not to answer? Rather than ruin your reputation do you ever refuse to complete a job if in heart of hearts you know it may fail

    I would have refused if I thought it would fail.. the valves wasn't 100% but would last due to the quality of them. But yes I would refuse.

    Never understood why privates buy race cars. There is virtually no spare metal to correct usage. Everything is lifed, and for someone tyring to run on a out of pocket budget, they are not viable. The head needed all new parts, if it drops a valve, that's dozens of hours work trying to save an original numbered casting. Often better to put historically interesting components on the shelf for safe keeping and build another engine. It will be down on power compared to a unit developed to the enth deg. but in period those units were stripped and rebuilt every meeting. When the driver missed a gear and over revved or changed up and over loaded the thing, they detonated into retirement. 15:1 cr was the norm and every team had a spare freshly built and dynoed unit in the race truck. Those were the cars built for the guys on their way to bigger and better things. Good old days.🙂

    Yes I know what you mean.. they were worn but not completely scrap so will be ok until next time. I would have replaced ideally
