Finally had some time to machine the cylinders
Cutting them to the correct length.
Machining the fins off.
Cutting them to the final size.

I am not a experienced machinist, so i am working a bit slow.
But the fins are the hardest part to machine of, if you go to fast the fins brake and your knife brakes.
But yeah you can only do small cuts at a time.
The mills are not mine, a friend of mine has a ship diesel engine repair shop.
But it is fun to do. Like to do that stuff myself.

Got the cylinders machined to fit the headstuds, I think this is the hardest part of machining to get the cylinders to fit the case.
It is difficult to find a long cutter to do the whole hole in one go.

Got the head fitted, some small adjustments to the hole for the head studs, so the cylinders fit and can move freely.
So one step further. Must say, happy at the moment.

Goodday,
Can somebody tell, at what horsepower level you need a bigger fuel line (8mm) on carburetors.
And maybe how you notice this, if possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi Eddie
I am not sure there is a exact hp level, to many variables but 1st sign is usually fuel starvation in 4th gear under hard acceleration

Berg wrote he had no problem with the stock pump and fuel line/IDAs untill the car went into the 12s
that being said, its easy to mount a new 8mm line when the car is off the pan (and a second one because one might go FI in the future)

That is now, because pan is converted to IRS and off the body, so might as well do it now.

I am pretty sure you bought the through bolts from me. You got the torque specs etc last year in a PM in this forum.

Hmmm maybe started a bit to late this year or the work is far more work than I anticipated.
Trying to make it to EBI this year, off course
Got the floorpan removed from the car, welded in IRS brackets for the new Rancho IRS box.
To match the new built 2.5L this time.
Had to repair here and there some rust problem
Repainted everything.
Longblock ready
Floorpan welded and new coat of paint
Small repairs...
As it stands now ready for the engine
Testing oil pressure, new fuel lines, fuel pressure.
Adjusting cilindertins for the big cilinders.
Fingers crossed

Well a bit of a downfall.
Came back from my holiday with covid,
Been in quarantine since.
so had to postpone my date at the dyno, car had a days work left, which could not be done now.
So could not send one off my buddies either.
Was happy for my holiday that I made it, but did not expect to be coming home sick after the holiday.
Can t do nothing about it, i have tried.
So no EBI this year in my bug, which is unfortunate.
Have to sit this shit out and hope I am well for EBI.

Well, went on to tune the carbs, but that did not go according to plan, hit a problem.
The dellorto 45s kept leaking air somewhere, have replaced everything on the carbs, seals, bearings, jets,
swapped them from left to right including the manifolds. But still the air leak would not disappear.
It is idling rough and when you give it gas the revs jump from 2500 straight to 4000 without flooring the peddle.
Did about 20 test, then gave it quits, needed to be somewhere with the car, so swapped the dellorto 45s for the weber 40 I had on my old engine (2.0L ).
Runs smooth at idle and responses well to the gas. (did not go beyond 4000rpms yet).
Altough I think the 40s are a bit to small for 2450cc engine, i stick with it till I got the 45 problem resolved.
Got a question for you guys on here, the 45 dellorto is leaking somewhere at the base, what could this be.
If i spray break cleaner at the base the revs jump up.
Did block the enrichment circuit, they told this could be the problem but it was not.
So open for suggestions.
