Tidgy Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Came across the origional graphs so thought i'd post them up. this was the day i picked it up and it had gone straight up for a check over, then after the syvecs, manifold, decat etc and to compare, was some gain in spool and peak but considerably lower than expected given the mods. and then the dreaded was found 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Popped up to clinic today top drop the mrs car off and check up on mine and how things are looking for next week. Found a few more bits that were worn out, inlet pipe is fooked so a new perrin one is going on, valve shims and buckets all had to be replaced so now got a set of supertech buckets and shims. But end result is good news, heads are built and attached onto block, final checks on them to make sure all good and then cam covers will go on and rest of the engine can be assembled. nice repainted inlet manifold and then a rats nest of wires to go back on lol Gearbox is done (5th gear syncro was worn) and ready to go back in, cars booked into the main workshop to have the engine and box fitted tuesday, few other bits and bobs before going off for mot and all being well next sat will be the day :D warning, kid at christmas mode on!!!!!!! hahahaha 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
