Hi Udo yes I did, I sold everything except the heads from this engine a couple of years ago to fund other projects and have been slowly gathering parts to build it again, I got the case earlier this year and got the thrust conversion done on it by Shawn while I was back home, it was sitting here ready when I got back out here cheers Richie |

No I was renewing my license so have to do 6 observed passes, 2 60 fts, 2 1/2 passes then 2 under 6.39, after the 3rd pass I heard a noise and quick inspection shows possible valve seat moved,number 4 exhaust valve is not shutting properly so that was it for the night, it still has the old 2386 engine in it so will get it out and torn down today and see how bad it is cheers Richie |

Back to the thread.
Crank gear has been narrowed and I got that back, still waiting for the case but it was nearly done when saw it today while collecting the pistons.
They are special order with dished top, heavy duty thick wall wrist pins and gas ports, hopefully they are plenty good enough for what we hope to achieve.
cheers Richie

I got the case back this morning, all converted for a roller cam set up  This is why it took a little longer to do |

With the case back I could mock it all up for cylinder length, that is now done so next cylinders can be shortened, I got these ARP through studs, nuts and washers as an upgrade for the supplied case hardware

and the pump fits, figuring out a suitable pulley is the next problem, this fits but i want to try get a large a diameter as I can on it to keep fan speed a little reasonable

Mmmm Interesting Quick couple of questions 1) does the roller cam set up give you any more space for stroke bore or is it just a better more modern reliable setup? 2) as I can on it to keep fan speed a little reasonable
Is it going back on the street |

Cam timing and lift can be far more radical with a roller cam.

Nice Richie! I see the case is machined for some kind of support box on the outside of the roller lifters? Or what is it? Not much meat left on the side of the case |

It's machined like that so he can install the lifers and wishbone as a unit from the outside. Then a machined piece with the pushrod tube countersinks gets bolted to the side.

Is it going back on the street 1] No more room, but with this case which has 0.100 cam drop there is already more room for stroke if needed 2] Yes, there is something i want to do and it involves lots of street driving |

Exactly It has a thick plate that fixes to the outside to allow more room as the lifters are so long, then the pushrod tubes sit in this plate I havent got them yet, they are still being machined but I knew that wouldnt stop me getting stuff done yet cheers Richie |
