We will now look to dummy mount the inlet manifold, so that we can ascertain if more material can be removed from the port. Then the head will be assembled and fitted to the bottom end. Not long now...... Plenum - Fuel rail - 10an fittings on the rail. Edited 10/04/18 03:51 AM by k31th pb pics fix 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share your view with maintaining polished items. For that reason, I have had all of the polished parts cleared to reduce maintenance. We found a special etch primer that adheres very well with the alloy and then clear coated the parts. I collected the parts yesterday and I must say that I am happy with the results. There is a slight reduction in gloss, but benefits far outweigh the loss... Here are a few pictures..

Unfortunately, one half of a retainer has been misplaced, so another lot has been ordered to complete the last valve. A lesson has been learnt..... I am expecting the engine assembly to be completed by mid week, I will then install all the ancillary items and try to work out to best run the engine harness around the new manifold. More updates soon...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has endured over three years of living in a hostile environment and is still going strong. I am confident that it will handle the engine heat.

I would really love to crack 1000 rwhp, but to achieve it might require trying other housings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
