Motorbyte motoGP

Som bekant får ju prototyphojarna bara använda sex motorer per säsong. Men vad räknas som en ny motor? Får man byta lameller, kolvar eller kamaxel utan att ha "förbrukat" en av de sex motorerna? Var drar de gränsen egentligen?

Växellåda/koppling ingår nog inte men resten är nog förseglat och 'får ej röras' ungefär om jag förstått rätt.
Vet inte om man får ta isär för inspektion kanske?

3.) The engines will be sealed (e.g. by means of wiring and
identification tabs, stickers, etc) so that:

a. the timing system is not accessible (e.g. the head cover must be
wired to the cylinder head),

b. the timing driving system is not accessible (e.g. the gear
train/chain cover is wired so that it cannot be removed),

c. the cylinder head and the cylinders block (if any) cannot be
removed from the engine (e.g. the cylinder head is wired to the
cylinders block and the cylinders block is wired to the engine
crankcase),

d. the crankcase cannot be opened (e.g. the crankcase halves are
wired together).
All the parts that are accessible without removing the sealing wiring
can be replaced. Breaking or removing the seal or wiring without
supervision by the Technical Director or staff will be deemed to be
“engine rebuilding” and engines with broken, tampered with or missing
security seals will be treated as a new engine in the allocation.

4.) Should a competitor, for any reason (e.g. mechanical failure, crash
major damage, etc.) require the use of another engine above their
allocation, the Technical Director must be informed before the new
engine is used, and Race Direction will apply the appropriate penalty
according to the Sporting Regulations. The damaged engine will be removed from the allocation and if it is
used again, it will be treated as a new engine with the appropriate
penalty.

5.) There is no limit to the number of times a sealed, allocated engine
can be fitted to and used in a motorcycle, provided the security seal is
not broken or removed. Replacing an engine with another sealed
engine (new or used) from the rider’s allocation is allowed with no
penalty.

6.) To prevent the running of a used, allocated engine outside of
MotoGP events, all allocated engines will have security seals placed
over either exhaust or inlet ports (on at least one cylinder bank, in the
case of V-type engines) before leaving the circuit. Teams wishing to
re-use such an allocated and sealed engine must request the
Technical Director or staff to remove the security seals. If the
Technical Director or his staff finds that the security seals are not
intact, the engine will be deemed to be a new engine in the allocation,
with the appropriate penalty.

7.) it will be possible to break the seals if all the following
conditions apply:

a. the machine is entered by a CRT team,

b. for the sole purpose of changing the gearbox and/or primary
ratios, on an engine design where seals need to be removed for
internal gearbox access,

c. under supervision of the Technical Director and staff, at a time
and place determined by the Technical Director.

Det är alltså "bara" det som finns innanför vevhus, cylinderblock och ventilkåpa som inte får röras. Man får byta koppling och växellåda. Tack för bra svar.

De drevar om växellådan och den är inte en motordel utan en del av transmissionen, likadant med kopplingen.
