awesome build mate, can't wait to see/hear the videos! i too love getting boxes of goodies in the mail, but it's a pallet at the dock i'm waiting for!
 
Good stuff Ian, i know you've been waiting quite a while for the parts so you must be pleased to finally get stuck into re-assembling the engine.

I make this combo to be somewhere in the region of 12-12.5:1CR?

I get you now better off with it tho i'll go at mine tonight so! Cheers man hope it goes like a train, i'm stuck until after christmas with mine wont have the cash to get the head machine for the valves until then. Engine looks as good as new are you going to paint it to be able to keep the finish or does that even bother ya?

sould be 12.5:1 i was going for the standard 16ve pistons but that would have been 13.2:1 which learning from craigs build would be stupid for pump fuel or without going for kelford 184-c cams..
 
haha i just dont want allot of hype as i know how easy shit hits fans lol.. once its in and running and done a few thousand miles then i can be happy and start stage 2
 
you hardly measured the notch needed on the pistons cheif?

gotta get mine done, if your gonna be 12.5:1 ill be higher with a n1 head :( we only have shit 95 here too.

build looks good cant wait to see it tear up some tarmac
 
you need to take it about 1mm into the piston itself.. i did have a template you could have used lol but its in the bin now and its only a bit of paper lol
 
Looking good dude. I noticed the other day that we left the arm with the hook on for the engine crane in my garage...

Are you not concerned about how conservative your tune is going to have to be with 12.5:1?
