• We've added "One Step" Backup and Restore (from backup) commands to backup all your engine files.
• We've added Main and Rod Bearing Velocity calculations.
• We've added a Metric Units Preference.

If you have purchased the program, these are FREE updates.  Just download the latest version from this link:  http://www.performancetrends.com/download.htm#Engine_Log_Book

Important: If you got an Unlocking number when you purchased your program, you can unlock this latest version yourself. Just be sure to use exactly the same Registered Name when you install this new version and then the same unlock number will unlock the update. You can view your Reg Name by clicking on Reg To: at the top of the main screen on your current version, before you download and install the new version. 

To link up with the Compression Ratio Calculator, you will have to also download the latest version of it at:  http://www.performancetrends.com/download.htm#crc

3) Suspension Analyzer v2.0 Metric Bug Fixed  Our first customers which updated to v2.0 found a couple of bugs which we've corrected.  One major bug was that the Metric features were permanently switched Off inside the program, even if you asked for them.  A couple of other minor bugs were also fixed concerning Animation, there was no Readme.doc file included, etc.

Again, this is a FREE update to owners of v2.0.    Just download the latest version from this link:  http://www.performancetrends.com/download.htm#sa

You can view your Reg Name by clicking on File, then Unlock Program Options at the top, left of the main screen on your current version, before you download and install the new version.
