February 10, 20178 yr Author Removed valve guides and oil restricters from heads, tapped head with a hammer while doing guides right where the head gasket seals the cylinder, have dinged it, so that'll have to be welded and skimmed, bummer, have got new supertech guides and seals to go back in, and have had a play about with the bonnet scoop lol
February 10, 20178 yr looking good that mate,i personally would give the end plates some curve so it don't look boxie,but i'm likein it
February 10, 20178 yr Looking really nice 😆i hate it when you do a error yourself and cant blame anyone else for it unless it was the hammers fault🤔keep up the good work..
February 11, 20178 yr Author Lols, just messing about with it at the mo tbh, I liked the scoop more when it didn't have the second bend in it to bring the opening down a bit cos I thort it might pull the bonnet off at speed 😜, might remake it, but first will shape those sides a bit more, probs cut it away on the top and taper the sides in at the top, then fit some ally spindles in the opening and mesh it 🙈
February 13, 20178 yr Author Valve guides are all back in, heads still measure 127.5mm so will have a little skim done, tigged up the little dint I put in it ready for the skim, and "adjusted" the scoop a bit 😜
