You've taken the valves out!

 

We have a winner

Nobber

 

Too obvious that one Neil. If you look closely you'll see that he has ........... Turned it around.

 

Brian, your observational skills are far superior to mine, but we both missing that the spark plugs are now missing.

 

he's turned it into a flat-twin

 

Plug areas now dressed and smoothed.

 

Stop fannying around and build the bloody thing

Seriously, looking forward the the build Frayz

 

Quick update on this.

Late change to spec includes a swap to Lateral long Crower H beam billet rods and Lateral custom wiseco pistons to suit.

The pistons are ever so slightly larger than the last set so the block has gone to be index honed to suit. I should get it back next week. The pistons/rods bearings have all been measured, checked and weighed. Now the complete rotating assembly only differs by 0.6grams.

 

Why the change?

Another excuse to not built the bl##dy thing?

 

Change was due to parts availability Neil. Was easier to make these changes so I can get building quicker.

 

I thought you had the pistons/rods? Wiseco/carrillo.

 

I did have mate.

 

Glad to hear you have resolved that problem fella.

Another week to hone the block then building commences?

 

Yes mate, im told i should have the block back Tues/Wed ish.
I'll re-inspect, re-measure and re-clean again once its back.
Then dare i say it... i can actually get some tools out and start putting the short motor together.

Any competent engine builder would have thrown this together by now.
I guess i cant be all that for taking this long

 

Good stuff.

Now is not the time to start rushing!

I was speaking to APi David whilst up there yesterday with Bob Rawle. Apparently the new SC billet turbos are the way to go

Minor problem with the pod... the wire grouper/cluster in the back is a little too big so going to need some 52mm o-rings to push the gauges out a few mm, should be easily solved though.

 

Don't ell me that Ross!! Just put a deposit down on a 321T

 

Pmsl bods

 

Might end up putting a billet wheel in my 30... but its gotta be running first before i dick about with that lol.

 

Sorry fella

Yep.. just get that block together!

Have you got round to doing the non-engine bits? Such as fitting the V3's etc?

Ordered some 52mm o-rings this morning, hopefully have some finished pictures soon...

 

Not bothered doing the V3s yet as I can't set the height till the car's full weight again.
Get some pics up once your gauges are in

 

Block now index honed for clearance to suit the new Wiseco buckets. This needs another measure, inspection and wash before she goes together.

Some snaps of the new internals if youre interested.

Build should be underway next week.

 

 

Reverse Psychology FTW !

 

Gotta love the support you guys show

 

Hay Frayz, glad to see your making some progress.....still trying to figure out how you can have bore 1 and 2 beside each other on the RH case? Surely that should be 1 & 3?

(Written in marker pen on the block pic above).

 

That wasnt me mate. The guy that modified the block just put that on there for his own reference. I made him laugh when showed him that the cyl numbers were actually cast on the side of the block lol.

So please excuse those, they bare no resemblence to anything. lol

 

Lol Frayz....i'm assuming the machine shop guy was a friend? i.e. the place who CNC machine the heads?

Did you get the rotated pipes in the end and sort yourself out? as mine are still sitting in the garage.

 

Yeah he's a friend. Gaz on 22B will be making my pipes mate. I cant wait to try my heads out. Ive ordered new valves this week too. So as soon as theyre here, i can get my seats cut and heads assembled. The short motor will go together next week

 

Excitement is building

 

35R............ you know you want one
