Cheers guys,

Although as for finished... will it ever finish?

 

It never finishes...........

Banny

 

Today saw a little more progress.

I inspected the block and measured the bores on 8 points on each bore, i also measured the main bearing liners in situe so i could calculate the crankshaft running clearances.
Once all that was sorted i washed the block in the hotwash, oiled the bores and bagged it ready for assembly.

Another note, i colected my clutch today from Mocom.

Its a new Exedy Hyper twin plate. It comes with 2x 6 puck cerametalic driveplates, flywheel bolts, a lightened billet flywheel and the prettiest pressure plate available lol.

Im taking the time to show you guys now as it wont ever bee seen lol

I put it on the scales just for fun, the complete assembley comes in a a featherweight 10.2kg

 

its such a shame thats hidden, would be nice to see a bell housing made from perspex lol

 

Lol, yeah. I just hope it works as good as it looks

 

Mr postman was a hppy chappy today as not only did he have my wrinkle red paint, but also my new RAYS extended wheelnuts.

Cant begin to tell you how light these are, im really impressed with their quality.



But the bit you all want to see is the manifold. Well here it is having just been de-masked. There are one or 2 bits that i will have to clean where the paint bled a little on some edges but on the whole im quite pleased.

Looks almost new and theres no telling where the casting lines or original bosses were that i ground off were.

Enjoy

 

you should do this sort of thing for a living

 

that means mine will be waiting for me tonight

 

Nice work on the manifold. looks very OEM and I think it was the right move colour wise. I love your nuts...Tart

 

Good work....as ever!

 

As you know Frayz, i have some of these extended Rays nuts on my scoob. I'm pissed off to report that a couple of them have discoloured which is crap for a set of nuts that cost around £100, so just be warned if yours decide to do the same.

All the best
Rich

 

Everything looks great frayz, I can't wait to see what kind of power you'll be putting down to the wheels. Those pics on the clutch and flywheel look good and frayz it will never end. I'snt it amazing how you fall in love with your car again after you do something to it. Best of luck to you completeing your project it is going to be awesome.

Joseph

 

I can certainly relate to that

 

Cheers for the headsup Rich.

Cheers for the props too guys. And yes Matt i wish i could do it for a living.

 

Inlet looks stunning Frayz and that clutch is way to nice not to be seen again

 

Lol, i dont want to see it again if im honest mate. If i see it again that means the engine or box is out for some reason
