As for the yellow enameled intake...just tired of trying to keep the sand casted aluminum clean.

took a while to get a hang of the spirolox. Good!

I must say I am impressed with the quality of the pistons and the crank. The machine work is spot on. Took forever but, he did well.

Ive got several engine blocks painted brite yellow, it makes finding oil leaks far easier,
BTW where did you get that piston ring compressor and what brand is it!??
like most tools theres a cheap knock off and theres a good version, and like most tools the cheap version usually works but not nearly as well as the original quality tool is been a copy of,
IVE been using the tapered ring type
PRO-67445.jpg

but on some applications that types easier to use.
because you need a specific diam. tapered ring compressor for each bore diam.

worthless P.I.T.A. to use

GOOD and VERSITILE

WORKS GREAT BUT LIMITED TO A NARROW BORE RANGE AND EXPENSIVE

I was shooting for a lower CR. According to what I calculated, this will be around 8.2:1 Stock pistons were 22cc dish at 8.6:1. The idea here was to be able to mildly uptick boost later if I wanted to - never above 14 PSI. However, it also occurred to me that I can spin this faster than the 5500 RPM I set the rev limiter at. Ohio Crankshaft tells me the assy is good to 7000. I'll keep it to 6200, I think. Still, in other words, since I can spin this a bit faster... let's wait on upticking boost. This should make a nice difference as is.
What's the theoretical CR when its under boost???

I see you haven't lost your touch for hiding a stapler somewhere in a picture. :lol:

Looking good, let the fun begin :!: :!: :!:
 
Interference. Rod bolt to oilpan rail. Required some grinding.

What stroke crank do you have ??? I tried to go back thru the thread, but didn't find it.

How does the rest of the clearances look for the rotating assembly ?
 
Stoker crank - it was supposed to be a 400. All other clearances are spont on. The machine shop took forever, but at least the craftsmanship was excellent!

BTW, I checked for a brand on ring compressor - could not find any...

My cherry picker does not have reach to have heads and intake on during install.

Looks like it won't be long now, before the TT hits the road again !!!

Looks like you have some good help there, unfortunately they don't come cheap. :cool:

Sounds like you got a case of the HURRY-UPS ! Patients man, patients ! :)

Where's the stapler, I'm getting use to looking for it now ?

I guess we can call this a mini-starter. I got a Powermaster thinking the build quality will be good. I looks good that's for sure.

D
 
How about a link or part number ? How many teeth on your flex plate ? I'm going to need a starter myself.
That stapler is too easy to see, no challenge to find !
 
Grmbl...

@#$%@#$%@

I do NOT recommend this starter. NOT.

Infini-clock my @$$. The long bolts prevent it from full clocking. I had to grind some material away to get it to fully clock. Then the bolts from the solenoid were interfering with block - so I had to grind them short as well. @#$%@#$@% still not on there. Now the pinion seems to be interfering with the flexplate. Grr, the stock starter worked much better. I will see if I can dig up a solenoid. Grrrrr...
 
Sweet, another birthday for your best friend :!: :!: :!:

Wait a minute, does this mean it's running again with the new motor???
 
Sorry - was away for a couple of weeks in Bavaria. Instructing rifle shooting and archery to Boy Scouts ;) Go Fieldsports!!!!

Running? I guess the short answer to that is: YES!

However, still a lot of work to be done; so it's not fully on the road yet. I still need to reconnect all the idiot lights I set up, knock sensor, A/F sensor, 200-4R O/D circuit, test the water/meth... pass tech inspection and finally install the blower.

From what little I have driven it, it seems all right. It idles fine. Oil pressure climbs quickly and is high. I had a problem with a float needle that needed replacing.

So, stay tuned... we are getting there.
 
Successfully passed the Belgian tech inspection.

So far so good... Blower might go back on the weekend.
