As i had quite a few people ask what i was doing next when i sold the engine from my cabrio I thought i would do a build up of what will be the next engine for it,so here it is so far:

This is going to be the new engine for my cabrio,its a CB case ordered with no stud holes which was then welded on number 2 cylinder,machined and the head stud holes drilled,taped and case savers for 10mm studs fitted by Jeff denham at 4inchbore.com
 
It has a scat 86mm pro comp crank wedgemated at DK machine with all t4 mains,and chevy journal pauter rods.
An engle cam that I had them grind for me with Scat light lifters.

101.6 wiseco pistons with a 12cc dish thanks to Doug at bergs in regular finned cylinders,
then JPM heads that johannes ported and modified he chambers for 49/39.5 11/32 stem valves with pauter 1.5/1 roller tip rockers,I will run Jaycee push rods&tubes.

I have had the short motor together once but changed my mind on a couple of things so it is apart again,as soon as I have everything back I will re assemble it and see what difference it makes over the old 2332 I ran for the last few years.

So you are finally joining the 2789 club!
What cylinders are you using? They look like Autocraft, are they availible again?

I had AA performance 2 years ago, but they were far from round and a bit thin.
I will buy new ones in a couple of weeks and I think I will go for Pauter.

Cheers!

Got them here[new casting angleflows] to try as a direct comparission when jeff has finished doing his development set he will do his stuff to mine,will try to keep valves sizes etc the same

Going to use these new style bugpack head studs with the fine thread on the head end
 and I will set the case up to delete the oil relief plungers and run this Scat pressure relief filter head
with a return to the sump which should help give more consistent oil pressure
and in theory keep the oil cooler

Richie, in this pic:

the face of the valve in the chambers is dead flat.  That's a nail head valve.  Traditionally, a dished head is used in VWs.

I think a dished valve head (bottom) is what he meant. It saves some weight on the valve itselve and should not really weaken it.

I also thought about the 5-stud, but with the wider Pauter rockers, that option was probably out of the question.

Richie, what does the cabrio weigh at the drags?

Tnx,
Walter

Hi In the case of an old Buick "Nailhead" it had small valves installed vertically that's where the term come from,  some folks today (including myself) call the style of valve that is dead flat on the face a Nail head ( like the head of a nail )  and the valves we typically see as a dished head,  The "Nail Head" style are usually a tiny bit heavier and because of thier shape and also have different flow Characterisitics because the back angle shape is usually different than a "Dished" Valve.  JPM probably put that style of valve in for a reason and I was just wondering if ya knew why.

Cheers man.

At this stage,money,I will measure the deflection of the rocker shaft when its all together and see from there,proberly later on I will go to the 5 stud mounting system if its needed

picked up these 6inch pauter rods yesterday which i will now use,wanted to try a longer rod ratio to see if it makes any noticable difference so have 5.6s as well,
also this is the turbo I will be using,its a Turbonetics t72

Hi Richie and K-Roc

My understanding is the terms 'nailhead' and 'tulip' are used to describe the shape on the back of the head of the valve rather than the chamber side... 'tulip' has a much larger and gentler radius from valve seat face (45deg) to valve stem than seen on 'nailhead' valves.

Tulip shape most easily seen in the valve at far left and 3rd left....



'Nailhead' valve is what most of us are used to seeing... it's more of a 'penny on a stick' design and doesn't have such a large radius on the back of the head.
2nd from right is nailhead style

Well at least that's how I differentiate between 'tulip' and 'nailhead'  Wink

It's not common to see the tulip shape on a stainless valve because of the extra weight (at least I've never seen one!).
Normally only seen on lightweight titanium exhaust valves.

That extra mass on the back of the valve can actually improve flow of the exhaust port by better streamlining flow past the valve head.
Flow tends to improve when the exit side tapers gently (teardrop).
Plus you can afford a little extra weight on the smaller diameter valve anyway - it'll still come in lighter than a nailhead inlet.

The chamber side of the valve head being totally flat improves wet flow charactersistics in the combustion chamber i.e. you achieve a more consistent air/fuel ratio throughout the chamber.
Again this flat face is more likely on titanium valves because of the extra weight compared to the more common concave design seen on stainless valves (done to reduce weight).

Wet flow tests often show up mini 'cyclones' in and around those concave areas, resulting in fuel puddling and therefore inconsistent fuel distribution in the chamber.

Without the luxury of wetflow test equipment, post-combustion analysis (remove head or poke borescope through plug hole) will reveal tell-tale signs of unequal air/fuel distribution in the chamber area... if that's what you've got you'll see clean areas on the piston crown and head after you've run the engine - proof positive something was causing fuel to fall out of suspension in one or more places once it entered the chamber. Equal distribution across the the whole area equals more power at the flywheel.

Lambda sensor gives average AFR... could be seriously lean in some areas and overly rich in others... giving same AFR reading as an engine running equal distribution in the chamber. Guess which one makes more power?   Wink

IMO best combination is tulip exhaust and nailhead inlet, both with totally flat faces on chamber side.
I haven't flow tested an Angle Flow head (yet!) but I'd take a guess the tulip exhaust may be more of an advantage in the AF than a conventional exhaust port due to the less severe turn flow has to make after exiting past the valve head, making for better velocity distribution across the port (more flow). Could be completely wrong though - wouldn't be the first time  Cheesy
