ok being my first k engine ill be rebuilding in the next couple of weeks "thanks to tax time lol" I'v basicly just got my block on my engine stand fitting new pistons rings and gasket and seal kit though it,, I'v been thinking over going a cam as well? as i em putting my head that iv got in the car now "rebuild about a month ago, milled and ported a little. I'm trying to keep the car kinda stock for the years to come but would love to make the engine a little bit more "better" lol iv read the info about doing up k engines on this site. I'd thought id just ask around first get word about it? :yes:

If you haven't fitted the pistons, get it all balanced first. Have a few kg machined off the flywheel even before you get it balanced, so it will rev faster and smoother.

 

Get a cam cut, not too hot if you're going to stick to a stock carb, and put on a set of extractors with a larger diameter but quiet exhaust system.

 

Can't go wrong!

 

If you want more, then either the Weber downdraught or a pair of SUs will add the last bit. Oohh shiny! would be an electronic dizzy and an electric fan, nice, but not necessary.
