52mm should be fine as i've installed it on my cef aswell, however i've had to change to thermos and clearance is pretty tight as there was no way the clutch fan would sit there. Even with the 42mm i wasnt comfy with how close it sat, and in the end the clutch fan put a hole in the rad and cooked my motor at wakefield (blades must've gone wonky at high rpm or something). So you've been warned :worship:

also i found that with the radiators i bought, the top tank diameter was identical regardless, so before buying get them to send dimensions of the rad to you and see if it suits.

Find yourself a 40mm radiator, with that size you can retain the factory fan and shrouding and not have any rubbing or clearance issues. I think I used a cheap JustJap item and with a header/breather tank setup and I never see temps over 95 degrees on the track and 80 on the street...

does anyone know of a company that makes rb radiators that will take measurement(Height x Length) your provide and make one with their next batch? i'm mainly after something shorter

Edited by Dan_J

thing is i'm not after a special custom one as i wont like the cost's involved.

i was more thinking for a company that isn't importing radiators i can get them to chop the height in the core for a rb specific rad before they weld the end tanks on within their batch made sets.

i'll give them a call and get a quote on a custom one and for a cut/shut of an alloy rb rad

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
