Serpent monoblock LCG engine mount

Serpent monoblock LCG engine mount

Serpent has released this latest LCG orange anodised engine mono block for use with 12 size engines in the Serpent 720 which drops the engine by 1.5mm and thus helps lower the cars centre of gravity. Suitable for Picco and Novarossi based motors, this block ensures the engine mounting points are kept aligned reducing stress on the crankcase, which allows the engine to rev freer. The extra material used in the blocks, and with the addition of fins, also allow extra cooling to the crankcase and ensure the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.
