Designers used to reproduce their drawing on light sensitive paper then produce copies with the aid of an ammonia die/gas, the copied drawings had a blue tinge, then more of yellow tint as time went on.
It sounds like CE checks everything to his original design, good on him. Which could open up a new can of worms however, if something happened CE (god for bid) what happens to the Super Monza?
The term blueprinting on tuning engines refers to makin sure everything is at its optimum , including matching , bearing tolerances ,shims , compression ratios ,infact anything , its closing the tolerances that a producion engine has ,tony scott is well known in motorcycle racing ,his blueprinted engines were more powerfull than the honda racing jap engines ,but it takes a lot of time to do and is not about sticking new parts together , the way i see it is that charlie has cleaned and tweeked the barrel to how he wants it ,to blueprint it i would have thought it would have to go on the exact engine it was goin on , crank in place and all the relevant timings checked etc ,thats my take on it anyway lol !
