following in kirbz footsteps :duffer:

 

Engine is just about finished just the sump and the plen to put back on with any luck it should be back in the car this weekend.

 

The engine has been totally rebuilt using wiesco pistons I have also put new valves, springs, lifters and manual Cams in along with every oil seal gasket and rubber hose that the car has

 

The crank has been balanced , surprisingly enough even the under drive pulley was not properly balanced from the factory

 

The heads were off by about 2 thou so these have been matched so that they are equal the engineering shop also did a 3 way valve angle job on the valve seats

 

Here are so pics of the progress so far

Nice one mate - that was quick too :bow: Cant wait to go out in it ;):cool:

3 weeks , would have been one if the engineering shop got there backside in gear a little quicker

have you or any one use solid valve lifters, ive got a noisey tappet on mine and it seems to be a bit of a fault on the 300's, any one got pro's or cons for them???

Blimey mate, you'll have zed owners knocking soon ;)

 

Must be great to know you've done it all properly

JD'S-Z not used solid lifters , I think but don't quote me these are only used when you use high lift cams for fairly big power

Those that can afford the choice go and have fun while some other poor b4stard struggles.

 

Those that carn't afford winge on about how its a labour of love etc but, I know, because I've spent those weekends removing my knuckles in the cold, dropping that washer down the cam belt channel into the sump just as your about to put the head back on.

 

No thanks Guys your welcome to it I'd rather work harder at what I'm good at and earn the money. You have my knowing respect but there's nothing honnerable in DIY. Just think the money you've saved. Her in draws will expect those saving every time. Rod and Back spring to mind

This is where the phrase check book mechanic comes from ;D or Skyline Owner!
