2) End of crankhole near backplate, can have a max. rounding of 0.5mm, (so no turboscoop going into this hole)
On the other hand if Team Orion was running EFRA legal engines, tells me 2 things:
1) they were so convinced of them selves, that they would win the worlds even with an EFRA legal engine (But then just in case would also have an IFMAR legal version ready)
2) they were so stupid NOT to use an IFMAR legal engine, which now even might have cost them the title.....
