Hi, can i ask what kind of paint you used on your heads? I have the same heads and have been thinking about painting them black also, but have been a little hesitant due to heat and not wanting to reduce the heat dissipation further...

Just Matt black metal paint from rustoleum. Just a thin single coat of it, I wasn't too worried about getting it in to each nook and cranny, that would have resulted it going on too heavy.

You mean like this? If you had more like 60cc instead of 55cc your CR would drop to just under 10:1

Ideally you retain both squish bands. Each side of the valves should be flat rather than dished. Keep the dish in the middle if possible. Wink

So, I ended up ditching the unknown Chinese Nikasils in favor of a set of old stock Mahle 94's. The cam is a Web 86c topped off with a set of 1.35 rockers, valve lift ended up at .525". And, the CR was set to 10 to 1 with .054" deck, including the copper head shim.

Ok, back for Christmas and new year. Been busy again in the garage Smiley

Fitted some dual taper ally pushrods, thanks aircooled.net. And got busy with the fanshroud, after some work, cutting the inlet and spark plug openings with a Drexel all looked ok. Now the problem.

Can't seem to get a linkage to fit. There's not much room between the back of the shroud and the bell housing. It seems that my only option would be to modify the shroud to clear the linkage. Has anyone else come across this, or do you know of another linkage that may





There's no room for the linkage to swivel. The CSP linkage sits even further away from the bell housing, making it not an option

have you looked at the cable operated linkage from Logmech? it seems to work really good and if not mistaken Peter runs the same or similar on his 1776.

the engine really does look good.

Hi!

I bought the sync link cable linkage from pete, it works great very smooth operation.

Take a look at his thread on the samba you will not be disapointed.

Nice greetings

The shroud was from Competition Engineering in Arizona, the fan is a stock unmachined one from a 993. And the intakes will be twin throttle bodies with An IDF stud pattern.

Maybe CE might have advice on which readily available linkage will fit that shroud?

See what CE say but i think cable may be your best bet.... depending on which TB's you use will determine a bit more

I had Steve Hollinsworth here in Phoenix do the same on the lifter bore with the bushing insert great work.

Slight change of plan, decided to go a more traditional route, back to the IDA’s and conventional cooling, but this time with a type 4 oil cooler
