Engine rebuilding ..

Well .. I'm almost getting sick of the sight of the inside of Fiat SOHC engines .. but alas, here i am putting my race car engine back together.

Block is now dummied up with the two centre pistons in, a new Felpro head gasket which has been re-fire ringed for the 88mm bore, head welded ready for reshaping, and all new valves.

Hopefully i should be ready to assemble the head early next week, and then check piston to valve clearance, and then start the re-assembly proccess.

We will get there soon !














On the flipside, the new brown car (1979 NZ New) nicknamed Milo is now finished .. with an early X19 1500cc standard engine, 128SL intake manifold, 34DMTR carb, and 128SL headers and a 2" free flow exhaust. It goes nicely for a daily driver.
