Muncie Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 T class endorsement on your licence is dead easy then you could drive it to the shops no worries.

Valiant Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fuck that looks so cool. Can you get rubber tracks to fit and then take it into town for a coffee? I haven't seen them on full rubber tracks but I have seen rubber or wooden blocks bolted to the tracks Like this. It will be something to look at in the future.

RUNAMUCK Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 A give away as to how hot the head has been, is how deep the imprints are where the head bolt washers are. Because these motors are so indestructible, they can get cooked up so hard the metal goes soft. Then they're a paperweight. (Sorry for telling you how to suck eggs) Lemmie know if you think it's fucked/get it tested and it is fucked/or would like a round port A12 head with smaller ports  etc for more bottom end torque.  etc etc. Kudos for getting so far with this beast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome thanks Bart. I'll take it off and get it hardness tested pressure tested and go from there. Hopefully it'll just need a gasket and the head machining. Yes a round port head would be cool if you have one, will need matching manifolds too? Honestly I am wrapt with how well it runs/goes even with a fucked head. That little SU is delightful. Let me get it a bit more sorted, ie hydraulics working and wiring done properly and you need to come round for a drive, you'll wet your pants laughing.

RUNAMUCK Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yeah I have a head, and an inlet manifold. I think your A15 zhort will work, but I think I also have an A12 zhorst mani at mums too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
