Having the bolt heads below flush could save having to Dremel a slot in bolt heads, if the car should happen to scrape.

On another note; we ran the LAB EO1/SQ engine yesterday at a club meet for the first time, and it is the fastest engine that we have had in a car so far; seriously fast with good fuel economy! We also have a LAB EO1/BC to run in an event soon, and that engine could be even faster! Like I said; we're not as experienced as most of you guys, but the Nova based Capricorn engines are the best that we have ever used in a car. We also have a Sirio based Capricorn; but it seems to be lacking, and I wouldn't go that way again.

Kindest regards,
Lars.
Thanks, trying to give you guys the best support possible.

The E01-BC engine is ridiculously fast, faster then most if not all other engines.
I do recommend using a longer pressure line with that engine, it blows out a lot of pressure into the tank which could make the engine a bit harder to tune. I also use an exhaust gas cooler.
