Popular Post sleeektoy Posted November 7, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 Throwing it all back in as much as i can. Awaiting some brake parts (fittings/booster) and some more plating and then it will be progressed more. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sleeektoy Posted November 14, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2021 Booster and brake plumbing all done - I previously deleted the bias valve and replaced it with a wilwood adjustable, and upgraded the master to a bigger MA70 one Brakes all round means the front steering and suspension is all in too I previously disliked the wiring and relay/fuse for the electric fan As the alternator is internally regulated now - I figured up-cycle the old regulator housing to sneak the fan gubbins in... Next mission is to test fit the bigger W55 gearbox and apply clearance to any parts, and run a return fuel line that also clears it. Then onto checking the engine and see what needs freshening on it. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sleeektoy Posted January 9 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 9 So... a little yarn at @sheepers place about his motor build and also borrowing a large valve spring compressor from him inspired some work on the motor for this. It has sat a long time and nothing was done - the gear drive became a "too hard basket" and i got put off trying to get it sorted. So it has a chain put back in there for now. There were valve to piston clearance issues with cam timing and some light touching happened. Big end bearings are now replaced, cam lifter buckets replaced and valves checked for bentness found to be ok. So in a "roadkill garage" style fix(found on youtube), an old stainless valve was fashioned into a rough as guts cutter and piston cutout reshaping has been done. Result is a nice reshaping of the cutouts slightly bigger at the same time - the engine has been blinged up to go into the nice clean engine bay 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
