2005 Rules, 4.3.8
"The engine is considered
to be purchased with all of the required components and systems necessary to
run. The engine costs listed below include the transmission/CVT device
regardless of whether it is integral to the engine or not. Engines that come
equipped with an integral transmission, differential, and U-jointed axles must
estimate the cost of the differential and U-joints separately. Items driven by
or beyond the general function of the engine and/or transmission must be
cost. All other items: the carburetor (or fuel injection system), the ignition
and/or electrical system (including spark plug(s), coils and wires), turbo or
supercharger if used, the intake manifold, the exhaust manifold, cooling
system (water & oil), and mufflers must be cost."
(Ignoring the first sentence going completely against the latter one for the minute!)
Am I correct in thinking if you were to manufacture a crankcase/transmission and throw a 600cc cylinder/head assy on top, you'd only be stung for the cost of the diff/chain/final sprocket and the intake/exhaust/fuelling system/ignition systems on it?
What if an electronic clutch were an integral part of the transmission - would the actuator inside the transmission get costed (its a vital/fulyl integrated part), or would it be classed as 'beyond the general function of...' and therefore costed?
Mahle/CVT people: was your engine/transmission combo costed at $750? Were the actuators neccessary to work the transmission costed separately or included?
