heads off to the machinist. his gonna check the guides/seats

 

ill be putting a STUPID cam in this ( 3 - 7 grand ), valve springs have been organised.

 

my machinist has honed the block and all thats left is for him to install the cam bearings. once this is done ill take the block and put the bottom end together, take it back there where the compression ratio will be measure. shave the head accordingly. then put the cam in. check the lifter preloads and she'll be good to assemble and paint.

 

10.5:1 + decent cam = silent reliable 7 grand shifts PLUS barp barp barp barp :D

 

PICS

intake manifoild opened up

You've put up a 3K Bigport manifold. Which has a corresponding 3K Bigport head.

 

Now, 3K-B is a twin downdraft carb motor. With a 3K-B manifold and again, corresponding 3K-B head.

 

Difference is the twin carbs (obviously) and the fact the head and manifold have an extra bolt and a water port. For the water jacket in the 3K-B manifold.

 

Edit: To my knowledge, there is no designation for a Bigport Head

my machnist 'mis placed' my rods/pistons. i got some other rods from mr DPB and his going to supply me with new pistons.

 

other than that i havent done JACK!. i need to play around with the head soon

 

:blinks: :huh:

 

'Misplaced'... how the fork do you 'misplace' rods & pistons?!? What a pain in the ass!

 

Worried about potentially using your machinist now. :P
