Getting Closer

Hey everyone,

Knuckled down and got most of the block assembled for my 128, then popped one piston into number 1 cylinder to get ready for a valve to piston / piston to head clearance check, and found that number 1 conrod has quite a big twist in it.

I've now got another steel conrod away being shot peened after i had it balanced.

All valves are now swirl polished, the sump has been cold tanked and completely cleaned, and i now have a piston back in number one cylinder to do the crucial checks before assembly.

Will keep you posted.

New Motor Almost Done

Hey guys, sorry about the late update on the car .. i've managed to get a nasty round of Sinusitis and been pretty slack.

However, i have been busy preparing my new block for next season (which is only a month away, so i better haul ass).

The new block is decked, honed, bored, final cleaned, and ready for assembly.

The cylinder head has been welded, skidded, had new seats put in, had a full new set of valves sized, and is ready for the valve heights to be set.

Ill keep you posted as it all goes together, but heres a few photos of the new engine being prepared.
