time to kickstart this thread again...

the head...this thing has been a painstaking effort almost 60 hours alone invested here...but it was worth it...its the best head we have produced to date. Its actually better than the one in my car.

exhaust port work...all hand finished and swirled.

inlets...apoligies for the poor camera work guys

bottom end must have been wondering if it was ever going to see any head!...head studs in.

Trust 'drag' grommet type head gasket...these are now discontinued and if you can get hold of them they command big $$

Paul,

You don't run the lil plate that sits behind the sprocket on the crank to stop the belt moving backwards?

Ah yes.. couldnt see it in that last pic.

[ahh 33 s2]

obviously that engine is in a proper building room, but what conditions does a building room require apart from being extremely kleen. and how long can u leave a bottom end unsealed for??

A clean well set out environment that is dust free and temperature controlled is required. But more important is the cleanlines and preparation of parts as they are being assembled. We seal the engines in clear toughened plastic at the end of each day to ensure no particles can contaminate the build. A well oiled bottom end if sealed in plastic and kept in a dry moist free area could be stored for months.

Any progress? Curious to see how this thing goes in a rwd platform
