The mighty Jason, whose C&J Rotax racer was featured in Sideburn 5, can't leave his bike alone. For the 2011 season it has been rebuilt with new engine cases. Not any old engine cases, but ones machined from billet aluminium. They were designed by UK Supermono racer Ivan Porter to cope with the stresses caused by 78bhp road-race Rotax engines (they often split their cases). Ivan had a batch CNC-machined a few years ago and these are the last pair of cases. Stunning.Also, check out the multi-pin socket coming from the flywheel. Jason made his own military spec loom. GI

Nice job, hot engine for a hot bike, not sure about that white stuff on the ground, had enough of it this year to last me some time
Is that an oak engine stand there Jason or merely oiled beech?
Beautiful!
Oiled beech with a touch dandruff
How much power can one expect from such a lump?
Well you could epect1 Kilowatt if you burnt the stand
I've found that internal combustion works best for flat trackers.
Hello Jason here.
I asked Ivan what guarantees come with the engine and I was pleased to hear. "Guaranteed for first place everytime, you'd have to be utterly hopeless not to win with this".
Brilliant.
Jason
No pressure then:-)
