wow this thing is almost as rusty as the 25 down the road i helped pull apart. i didnt think it was worth even trying to fix it. yours will look awesome though when finished! cannot wait to see this special colour your painting it :cool:

Its not THAT bad, so far.... hehe.

 

So I measured the block height a cylinder to cylinder wall width today.

 

5K - 98mm block height | 9mm cylinder wall width.... I have some plans that for this motor :cool:

Sounds interesting Raven, Tell Us more!!!.

Hi,

How was your measurement taken raven for the 9mm block wall?

 

Did you also measure actual wall thickness? Can be done from cylinder one I polished up the side of it through the water pump hole and put a caliper on the out side of cylinder one through the hole and other side of caliper in bore to get actuall wall thickness at the front.

 

I think if you boring it out this will be a better measurement as you will know the wall thickness of a single cylinder better.

 

Also I forget the measurement was awhile since I did it.

Yeah the thickness I took was from between cylinder 3 and 4, not taking into account the water jackets. :cool:

**Update**

 

Rust free bonnet sourced! Raven is happy!

 

Slowly and steady wins the race so they say, and well, this project sure is going slow haha.

you found a bonnet already :lolcry: now i'm gonna have to pay for my own carbon mould :)

Haha, well, for $80, I'm not complaining. It will require a little smothing out from a few dings here and there but thats nothing to worry about :)

And to prove I have another bonnet (with no rust along the front edge) :yes:.....

It looks good a real bargain for that price.

It has a few dents and what-not, but the panel beater should be able to heat them up and pop them out :yes:

Mmm quite Nice my mexican friend :lolcry: !
