Definitely Roy, I was pulling for the vettes too. Great double header for chevvy in their 100th anniversary year.

The fox and the hounds duel between the remaining Audi and all the peugots was some intense motorsport. They tried every trick in the book to beat that Audi but they were outsmarted.

A truly great race. :thumbsup:

+1 for an awesome race.

I was about to throw the remote at the TV when the lap down Peugot was holding up the audi lap after lap, yet the marshals just let it slide.

bloody Frenchy's :)

Audi killed them in strategy. They made more pit stops, but spent less time in pitlane, and thats what won it for them.

good on Vettes 10 years 7 class wins any team would love that win streak.

i also thought that the audi drive was grate to considering two of there drivers went to hospital, just shows the determination of the team.

but for me the stand out performance went to Robertson racing, for a independent husband and wife team to claim third place in the GTE Am class at there first la mans good on them :thumbsup: ( in a ford gt too )

good race and a well done to all.:)

Was kind of glad to see the 74 Vette out, as a mate was driving in the 73 Vette that won :thumbsup:

The Robertson Racing result was great for the small outfit considering the lack of pace in qualifying.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
