Here are some more information for Escort Cam Kit:

he classic Ford Lotus twin cam engine was designed and built during the early 1960s, this highly successful engine powered an endless variety of cars to victory in many different categories of motor sport around the world.

The leading high performance engine tuners of the time were quick to modify the twin cam engine to boost & improve the performance of this free revving four-cylinder engine.

High performance race engines are generally prepared with no expense spared, usually, a dry sump lubrication system is installed to increase reliability & longevity, and to promote lasting performance.

The twin cam engine was used to power several cars, namely the Lotus Elan, Lotus Cortina, Ford Escort, to name a few, these high performance cars were quickly snapped up by enthusiasts for spirited every day driving, as well as for weekend motor sport events. But unfortunately, the phenomena known as twin cam oil surge quickly reared its ugly head when enthusiasts competed on race circuits in normal road cars.

Severe oil surge can destroy an engine in a few seconds when the oil pump is starved of oil!

Amongst the many published books that deal with the rebuilding & restoration of the classic lotus élan and the twin cam engine, only a few books give mention of the oil surge problem associated with the twin cam engine, they also fail to outline what the lotus owner can do to solve the oil surge problem. Perhaps the lotus twin cam owner is expected to accept the oil surge problem as being normal.

But that is a difficult thing to do when you consider the consequences of severe engine bearing damage that oil surge can lead to. If you want to race your élan, or take part in club level sprint events, then it would be a wise move to do something about oil surge.

For only a few dollars worth of sheet metal, some careful fabrication work, and some careful installation, the oil surge problem can be solved once and for all, the sump baffle modification work is not difficult to do, and if you have the skills and mechanical ability to carry out the work your self; the fabrication cost will be extremely low.

A new "How To Manual" provides detailed instructions about all aspects of sump baffle fabrication; it is a combination of several sump baffle oil control methods and ideas which has been expanded & refined to detail and instruct the home twin cam engine mechanic about how to construct a professional anti oil surge sump baffle. With a bit of nous, a highly efficient low cost baffled oil pan/sump for the Ford-Lotus Twin Cam Engine can be constructed.

This unique sump baffle design can also be applied to many other makes of inline four and six cylinder engines.

Commercially made baffled oil pans are available for the twin cam, plus many other engines, but the average enthusiast may not want to spend; $600-$800 US or more to solve the problem, and why would you when you spend less than $20.00 to purchase some sheet metal, which you can then fabricate into a brilliant sump baffle design which is quite straightforward to integrate into the standard twin cam sump pan.

The baffle design illustrated in the manual has been fabricated & built from ideas gleaned through discussions with motor sport competitors. This is great information for the serious Ford Lotus twin cam enthusiasts who will continue to maintain, rebuild & operate this all-time classic twin cam engine.

Investigation of the iPad 2 Mobile Photography Editing Capabilities

This was the first time I ever participated in a launch day purchase, and it was quite the event. When I arrived at the Apple Store on March 11th, there was no line to be seen. It was about 10:15 in the morning so I wondered if maybe I was first to arrive. Not likely considering the hype and anticipation that had been surrounding the device. I asked an employee who said "the line is forming downstairs and outside in the parking garage." Did she just say "parking garage?" I descended into the depths of the cold, dank lower level of the mall and sure enough, about 25 people were already on line. The cement was stained with oil, and quite frankly it smelled of urine and cigarettes. This was so far from the slick, polished appearance of the way Apple normally does business. We're all here to spend a substantial amount of money — can we get a lousy folding chair out here?

Nevertheless, as usually happens in these types of situations, people band together. We're all in this for the long haul with about seven hours to go, so let's make the best of it. Soon after, I met a whole party of nice folks from all different walks of life. There was the Assistant principal who was playing hookey. He just bought the first iPad a week before, so Apple told him he could exchange it for the new model. One nice guy was waiting on line for a friend who was at work. A husband and wife took the bus there along with their one-year-old son. In shifts of two, we grabbed lunch, used the facilities, and warmed up in the climate controlled environment of the mall. Around noon, Apple came down with a little snack cart and boxes of coffee. It helped warm me up as I glanced at the watch. Only 5 hours to go...

The news came and did their obligatory interview with the first folks who lined up around eight in the morning. When the cameraman turned on his light, anyone who called out sick from work, or school scattered like bees from a hive. The line was now several hundred deep, and my place — 26th in line — started to look very good. Eventually Apple had an employee with a megaphone announce the procedure. They would be handing out vouchers with the model number you wanted. Without the voucher, you would not be able to purchase one. 32 gb wifi in black, I said as he began to fish through the box of tickets.

It was 5pm, and the moment had arrived. Police and security escorted us up the stairs into the fresh air in organized groups of ten. The news cameras were rolling as curious bystanders looked on. One teenage girl scowled, "OMG, what is this, a tour bus?" We laughed as the procession continued past Macy's, the Sock Drawer, and B. Dalton books. Just ahead, there was the glowing apple, and thick crowds of excited people. Security started getting nervous and shouted "have your vouchers out and up". Grinning broadly I held up my voucher and was ushered through the chaos into the store. Just then, the entire team of Apple employees started to clap and cheer loudly. Their store was packed with people ready to help. This was the experience that Apple wanted people to see. By 5:15 I headed home with a memorable tale to tell, and an iPad 2.

In the days to follow, I started downloading the apps, and I'll detail which ones in just a minute. First, I want to tell you about the actual iPad 2. If you've watched the news or read any reviews online, you already know the device is ridiculously thin, and light. It's also faster with the A5 processor making every transition instantaneous. As you might expect, the screen is beautiful, making reading, videos, and photos a pleasure. I didn't expect much from the cameras, but then again, I thought they would have been at least comparable with the iPhone 4's five megapixel cam. Unfortunately Apple put an old, grainy camera similar to the one in the iPod touch. Still, the-front facing camera is a great addition for Skype video calls.

The whole thing is housed in the outstanding Smart Case which was made specifically for the iPad 2. It's hard to believe that an accessory like a case could be worth talking about, but the design is actually quite ingenious. With a simple set of magnets the case slips into place perfectly and actually puts the iPad to sleep when attached. You peel it back, and the device wakes up. Despite the great functionality of the case, it's minimalistic in design, retaining the beauty of the actual device's form. Again, you likely knew all of that. But how does the iPad 2 help me become more productive? It's the apps. Here are some of the apps I downloaded for my photography business:

Filterstorm Pro — This is a preview of the future of mobile image editing and mobile photography. At only a fraction of the cost of Photoshop, this $10 app offers a sophisticated set of editing tools for the traveling photographer.

Here are some of the features I'm most excited about:

• Supports RAW file formats
• Changes can be applied with a mask
• There is a clone tool for getting rid of dust spots
• Automated batch processing
• FTP and DropBox support

How will I use Filterstorm Pro?

Since my camera uses CF cards instead of SD, I had to pick up the $30 camera connector kit, but I'm not sure how reliable these are just yet.

When traveling, I download all of my cards into two Memory Kick Si units every night. I use two for the sake of redundancy. Once I know they've been safely copied to both devices, I usually format the cards and get ready for the next day's shoot.

With Filterstorm Pro, I'll add one more step to the workflow. Before formatting the cards, I'll selectively upload my favorites to the iPad. Using the larger display screen I can check for critical sharpness, and make any basic edits with the app. These processed images can instantly be shared on the Web or with a client on location.

It will not replace my current workflow which consists of Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS5. First of all, it's not ergonomically comfortable to edit a ton of photos on a tablet. In addition, I believe editing will still be faster with a powerful processor like the one in my iMac. This is especially true when working with 60-100 MB TIFFS. Also, the app will not support 16 bit processing.

Having said that, it's clear that advanced editing is now possible on a lightweight mobile device. Moving forward, the laptop stays home while the iPad, the mobile photography wonder, comes along for the journey.
