I need help on this scenario. I can pass it at Bronze using SOHC but I can't get any higher. I tried tweaking with Push Rod and DOHC but neither let me pass (either not enough power or economy too low)

Looking at this thread viewtopic.php?f=13&t=966 , it seems like people are easily achieving 3162 cc while mine only can reach 2179 cc max before hitting the size limit. Their size limit is higher too! Was the scenario limitation changed by developers?

Have you tried different fuel systems? Cause they can alter the size quite significantly as does the valvetype.

Can't seem to make it.. With OHC when I met the economy requirement I don't generate enough power. Push rods and DOHC don't make enough power and doesn't meet economy requirement. I'm stuck with SOHC but only can get Bronze. Carbs doesn't met the economy requirement while Multi-point EFI is too bulky and mechanical injection makes the engine too expensive.

Just played it and managed gold with DAOHC and SPFI. Had to tweak some with the quality sliders though and had to use low friction pistons to get the economy down.
Also the thread you referred to in your first post is from when the first version of the game was released and the game has changed a lot since then.

Glad to know it. I though I did something very wrong that I can't even get 3000 cc without breaking the size limit

I managed to get silver with Push Rod after tweaking the quality slider but I'm still far from platinum. Gotta fiddle more tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips!
