What do you guys prefer? Pot joint should be a smoother rotation but what does that gain? I seriously doubt it! |

I like pot joints as there are less bolts on them!

I've always used pots but can see the appeal of spicers. No either draining the oil or pulling boots off when removing the engine. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Nice argument but with us, 9 times out of 10 when an engine comes out it needs to be stripped down anyway because we've broken something. Removing an engine without spiltting pot joints is easy enough with a bit of wiggling. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Yep mole thats how I have always done it. But the alternative to splitting the boot off the joint is popping the pot out of the box. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

spicers are cheaper to replace the jointy bits on... On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

Depends how you get the engine out. I don't use a hoist so the wiggle option is out of the question. Hence, I usually end up splitting the uprights from the top arms and separating the pot joints from the box.

ive heard of people breaking the pot joints? how strong are they? would you use pots on a 200+ bhp engine? |

I think the majority of people with 200bhp + are running pot joints.

I belive both the minis that have made over 300bhp use pot joints, there are also thoes bad ass uprated shafts you can get which are like thoes found on the back of a bmw or vws not sure what there called though but there like a mix of pot and hardy Drives

Hardy Spicer assemblies seem to be significantly lighter than pot joints I seriously doubt it! |
