Have you tried bleeding the hydraulic lifters? Would be interesting to see if the problem has changed cylinders as I bet the engine builder probably didn't put the same lifters in the same place, if it still on number one cylinder maybe try swapping the lifters to another cylinder and see if the problem follows it.

If its this coming week it'll have to be before thursday as this thursday to sunday i'll be horribly inebriated at the muscle car madness

Main Freight is just round the corner from my work so if need be I can pick up on the way home from work and drop at dylans (i'd offer to store them but theres NO room in my garage!)

Yeah definitely wear gloves, My glove riped and I got a hole lot on my hands. Took about 3 weeks for the shit to wear off

I used por 15 straight onto sandblasted suspension bits, worked sweet. Just try not to get your oily fingers all over it But you'll be sweet with sandblasted components. The main thing to remember with POR 15 is you can't use solvent based anything near it or it won't stick. The metal etch they supply is water based for that reason. Its can also brush on with relatively good results (not show quality but fine for under car etc)

Nice, thats where I want to be eventually. Pretty bored where I am currently

Yeah I modeled mine in CAD too, (we have both solidedge and inventor at work) but ended up making them completely different when I realised that the water outlet and dizzy were completely in the way of number one. I was also slightly suspect as too whether my model actually had the secondaries go straight out between the fire wall, chassis rail, idler arm and bell housing (as you can see from the picture it gets quite tight through there. These will do for now anyway. I'm going to build up another sr20 with cams and possibly Individual throttle bodies once its up and running and certed so i'll see how these ones go on that motor and go from there. First manifold i've made so not too bad. I'm also the same as you I can't bear to part with my money to get someone else to do the job, instead i'll spend twice as much buying all the tools required and do it myself! Where abouts do you work?

Not sure I got them through autobend on a mates account. They were around $20 each i think. I used 8 all up. Header including flange and all the other bits of material would have cost around about $250 give or take mine aren't as equal length as yours unfortunately. They are also too long but will be fine for now. Primaries are 1.75" no1=600mm no2=640mm no3=640mm no4=680mm. My secondaries are 2" and one is 520 and the other is 600. would have liked to have got them more equal and a bit shorter but due to them being a cunty place they kind of just ended up being what they were going to be!

Good work, I love these little things You manifold has come up well, i've just finished mine yesterday so I feel your pain.....

are they wilwood master cylinders or do you have a cheap line on mc's too?

cheers thanks. $10 is much better than the price of a plastic bottle with wilwood stamped on it

Hey good work mate. Digging the project What/where is ABC I need some reserviors for my project. Could you swing a contact number or website my way?
