I don't know a good forum title, but at times I want a dialogue about mechanical design subjects which aren't unique to Pontiacs. At present I have two examples-
1) Silent-chain camshaft drives, such as are OE on most pushrod engines. After reading about the advantages of silent-chain (HY-VO and others) on Morse's very informative website, I'm wondering why aftermarket cam drives are all roller-chains. I find it fascinating that silent-chain design exhibits zero (ZERO!) friction during chain bend/unbend. 2) Resilient driveshafts, such as the ISO-TEC line made by MSI for engine dynos- supposedly the most demanding application of any automotive-sized driveshaft. The ISO-TEC shafts are double-tube, with an elastomer between the tubes. To me, it's an intrigueing idea, since I've had 'unsolvable' vibration problems with certain 'big engine/small vehicle' combinations. Maybe name it "Mechanical Design" forum? (Thanks in advance- for moving these two discussion topics to the new forum, once you've added it!) Edit: Looks like I didn't post this in the right place. I saw "...additional topic ideas" and was thinking it said "... additional forum ideas". Don't know where I should post it? Last edited by Jack Gifford; 04-14-2007 at 11:05 PM. |

Our newest moderator was kind enough to read my post, and will be looking into the possibility of a "Mechanical Design" forum. Thanks Bart!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
