The Real P5 ?

[Jim H]

My travel tools are in an old 50-cal ammo can and I have to dump them out to find what I'm look for. It seems to work for me.

I'll have to post a few pictures of mine a little later.

Sweet progress on the real P5

Well, that answers one question from a few pages back. The A/C compressor is definitely on the motor yet.

Is that the actual harmonic balancer we will be getting on the vehicle?

I would love to see what that is around the cam gear.

We need higher definition pictures from Elio Motors.

That looks like a piece of Plexiglas in front of the cam gear because the timing chain is visible and goes down into the block.

Is this better?

I think I remember them saying it would be close to a production motor in the P5 but not exactly the same.
So that HB on the motor now, probably won't be in the production line cars

When they showed that harmonic balancer on the original motor, they said it was for testing and tweaking. I'm pretty sure once they get that dialed in for sure that they'll go with something a little more cost effective.
