LIMITATIONS & NEXT STEPS

Limits & next steps

The model realises 41% of cam airflow potential. Compare the carburettor / inlet package before increasing cam duration.

Carb / inlet reserve

0%

Flow headroom at peak power, not available power gain.

Head reserve

0%

Check valves, ports and cam together.

  • Selected redline is mechanically permissible but above the calculated 5,700 rpm useful maximum for a 5,250 rpm power peak.

Capture a baseline, change one part, then compare.

Intended use · Road-biased

Shorter duration generally favours idle quality and low-speed flexibility. This is not a guarantee for the assembled engine.

Selected cam: BMC · AEA630 / 12G165 · 998 Cooper / 1098. Predicted useful maximum: 5,700 rpm.

Duration guide: below 260° road; 260–279° fast road; 280°+ competition. Conventions differ; not a manufacturer rating or idle simulation.

Within model estimate

Selected redline

6,500 rpm selected; 6,500 rpm estimated mechanical limit. This estimate does not certify the parts.

Measurement required

Valve-to-bore / head clearance

Check valve position against the actual bore, gasket and block deck. Casting name alone cannot establish clearance.

Measurement required

Valve-to-piston clearance

Check through the overlap region with the actual cam timing, piston crown and head skim; 7.92 mm nominal maximum valve lift is not a clearance calculation.

Measurement required

Spring coil bind / retainer clearance

Measure installed height, spring travel to coil bind, seat/open pressure and retainer-to-guide clearance. Spring category alone cannot prove suitability.

Measurement required

Rocker geometry

At 1.30:1 nominal ratio, verify contact sweep, pushrod clearance and actual valve lift.

Measurement required

Carburettor / manifold fit

Confirm flange pattern, throat alignment, linkage travel, bonnet clearance and fuel connections. Airflow compatibility is not a physical fit check.

Data & assumptions
Historical reference + model

Factory baseline

Standard power and torque are anchored to the existing app’s factory specification data. Modified curves use modelled changes relative to that baseline; they are not independent dyno measurements.

Catalogue / factory reference in app

BMC · AEA630 / 12G165 · 998 Cooper / 1098

Timing 5/45 · 51/21; duration 230° / 252°; nominal valve lift 7.92 mm.

Head-flow and porting factors are model inputs, not a flowbench certificate for your casting. Carb flow is an installed-system estimate, not a rated catalogue CFM.

Not independently verified

Mechanical limits & road results

Spring/rotating limits use component categories. Drag, losses, traction and shift times are assumptions. Source descriptions are retained from V1; No new manufacturer verification is claimed.
