I think there are many people on here who do not wish to see a picture of Frayz, in his garage, with a tin of polish, frantically polishing his bits if you please

 

Oh come on Ed, you know you want to really!

Neil, no pics yet. I'm giving you plenty of warning... And I'm at work

 

I think Frayz has lost his competetive edge

 

I thought it was our little secret!!

Well done on getting a little bit closer to having the Beast back onto the road

 

Still at work, still no pics... still more warning time for Neil

 

All talk, no action

 

Yep

 

Well i guess id better give you guys something to look at, for those that havent died of boredom waiting for me.

On friday i picked up a set of JDM Version 8 AVCS heads. These were in good condition on the whole but very very dirty. Dirt aside i could see that they were in good shape and complete with cams, buckets and valvetrain.

So last night i started work on the LH head. This was given a basic cleanup and inspection. The RH one will be done when i next get a free moment. Once happy, i will fully strip both heads ready for some machining before being rebuilt with new seals etc.

Sorry for the phone pics, my cameras been on loan, lol.

Here they are when i picked them up.







Heres the LH head after a little jolly up.

 

There is Life.....

 

you de man - nice work

now keep it up !!!

 

Dishwasher or pure hard graft?

 

Progress, Halle-fooking-luhah

Are you cleaning it up in the Kitchen?

 

Pure hard graft
Not a poxy dishwasher

 

...it looks uncomfortably near the dishwasher in the pic though

 

Great to see some progress...........now keep it going

 

Haha, you could call my parts washer a dishwasher... but i wouldnt be putting my dishes in there hahaha

 

RH head got the same treatment tonight. Pics to follow.

Can't wait to get things actually rolling now

 

Keep rollin rollin rollin rollin nothin Limp about this Bizkit

 

Good to see some progress fella

Trust me, when you hear it for the first time again, it's worth it and I didn't even build mine..

 

Ive forgotten what it sounds like Ross. I know when its running again i'll be listening to every little sound with paranoia lol

 

Been to see my machinist today to discuss some custom work to both my block and heads.
The block will be strengthened and the heads will have the combustion chambers altered to suit the larger 99.5mm bore of the 2.5.
I have specified the machining to give the correct cc volumes for my CR whilst maintaining good quench area.

I have also come up with an idea to prevent the common failure of the stock heads cracking. I'm not 100% sure it will all work as expected. But I've done the maths, so we shall see.

The heads will be stripped of valvetrain tonight and we'll get the ball rolling.

Should be fun :-)

 

Be careful my loved up friend, there could be a real danger that if you carry on in the present vein you may get beyond just talking and actually make some progress on your car.

 

coming together nicely monseur frayz.

 

Heads have now been CC checked in stock form. If anyones interested, stock V8 JDM heads are 49cc.
They have been stripped of valvetrain. All parts have been inspected, cleaned, numbered and bagged for rebuild.

The heads are now having another hot wash before machining.
