Re: Christmas Pilgrimage to the Mainland.

Just got back for the engine builder, the motor was a race engine alright, running METHONAL 13.7compression!! So getting head shim made up to lower compression to about 10.5. Things just got real tight on the deadline. I'd rather walk than drive the girlfriends shitbox. Just brought the lowering blo...

Re: Christmas Pilgrimage to the Mainland.

Listening is not my strong point, could have been minisprint. It had standard cast pistons in it, you think if you would be making a race engine you would use forged pistons.

Re: Christmas Pilgrimage to the Mainland.

Quick update, pistons have arrived from oz, but the engine reconditioner has now gone on leave. Hope to find out more details tomorrow. He did say that the engine had the same specs as a mini stock engine. I guess that would explain the wild porting in the head, race cam and the pistons machine matc...

Re: Christmas Pilgrimage to the Mainland.

Had a bad day yesterday, everything went wrong. DAMIT! 1- Pistons are F%@k'd. I've never seen pistons like it, all of them had more cracks than the local netball team. 2- Deadline to complete out the window for next week.
