A bit research yeilded these figures for the V10;
2002 RA002E
94 degree V10
Chosen angle reduced pressure wave interference.
97 x 40.52
600mm length
108mm bore spacing
68.5mm crank height
111kg weight
177mm cog
Open and closed deck versions tried.
Scavenge pumps and de aerator one piece to cylinder block.

Thanks! Oddly enough Honda also just wrote a piece about the RA002E https://global.honda/en/POWEREDbyHONDA/2002_ra002e/

On the rebuild, still chipping away in the background. Nothing too much to report currently but some parts purchases should lead to some good progress relatively soon.

Wow, the follow on link for the BAR004 reveals that Reynard were bankrupted near the end of this cars development, making your car one of the last reyanrds ever produced.
Thats a pretty cool talking point.

Actually I hadnt thought of that, that is an interesting little extra bit of history to the car. That 004 summary is interesting, factual and to the point. I guess Honda didn't mind pointing out the issues with the chassis/BAR.
