i thought the HMS motors were completely different from the 18 degree chev donks some teams used, because when Super Cheap Racing went to the HMS, they had all sorts of problems because all of thw anciliaries had to be moved

Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking, I cant find anything to suggest that HMS do make there own engine blocks anywhere. Oh well thanks for the help

They must be, i think HRT ran into trouble with the ancilliaries on the Aurora/HMS engines with the distributor. The Ford and Chev engines have the distributor at the front of the engine, whilst the HMS engine has it tucked up near the firewall!

the problems aren't them breaking, its that they upset the way the weight was distributed from one to the other
