tortron Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Obviously they blow if you turn them N/S, the cranks isnt going to withstand the change in forces of 90 degrees, even drift cars dont go that sideways 2 Quote

However I have a K8 one and from memory it does indeed look a little less cut away then that one of yours. I must check (for future V6 project plans you see...) The K8 is the lightest (Marked up as K8-01 in the attached picture). The other is a KF for comparison. 2 Quote
yoeddynz Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Well that's handy to know! Cheers. Yeah Steve. I've read that these engines will blow up if turned around to face the dark side of rwd. Propaganda by the probe and mx6 fwd society! You must stay fwd. Its for the greater good.. Now more importantly... What are you upto with those flywheels Mr projectb10? I do hope there might be a little mazda v6 datsun or some thing getting built? Or are you a flywheel enthusiast? 1 Quote
Transom Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Yup another interwebs myth busted ... 17lbs freedom units 7.7kgs KF so yes it's worth buying manual mx3s for the k8 flywheel 1 Quote

The Side view shows the Lightened Fly on right. All the balancing boss' and approximately half the back side of the fly removed to reduce weight and then re balanced. My effort is just a KLZE in a Presso. Quote

Hurmeez Posted May 5, 2018 Author Posted May 5, 2018 That's weird cause I measured it roughly with a ruler after you said and it looks like the pitch is 1.25 to me. I counted ten threads and it was 12.5 mm on the rule so I would think that means 1.25. In any case, I haven't ordered the bolts yet so no big deal. Thanks for chasing me up though. Quote

Ok I may have confused myself then just checked again both engines and on the kit listing for crapengineering kits and it is M12x1.25 no idea what my brain was doing before sorry Quote
Mr Vapour Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 What have you been doing lo g hours on. Are you on the marsden point refit? Quote
Hurmeez Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 Bingo mate. I'm gonna have to be more careful, you guys are going to work out my secret identity! Quote
Mr Vapour Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Ahh. I have a mate working on it at the moment. That's the only way I knew. He's doing stupid hours , getting stupid money. 2 Quote
Hurmeez Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 Yeah being an unqualified school leaver, I'm doing the stupid hours bit but not so much the stupid money bit. Still, it pays for more car parts so I'm happy. 1 1 Quote
Mr Vapour Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Do you have any thing to do with the welding inspectors? Quote
Hurmeez Posted June 5, 2018 Author Posted June 5, 2018 Not really. I'm a tradesman's assistant doing fitting work. Essentially I'm doing all the same stuff as the 30 year veterans but their experience means they're being paid twice as much. Quote
yoeddynz Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Hey not sure because blurry photos but check the inlet ports. Klze heads have rectangular shaped ports.. Not oval. It looks like that might have the smaller oval ports. But yeah.. Blurry. I hope for your sake I'm wrong and I'd so good find! Edit: I just had another look.. It looks like they are rectangular but someone's fitted the wrong inlet gaskets from a 'lesser' engine Code looks right. Sweet if so! Quote
tortron Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Don't worry mate, you will have plenty of time to finish your project once you retire Quote
Transom Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Looking good on the adaptor plate solution how much room have you got for intake ? Quote
