SimonB Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thought I'd start a thread for my latest project, I'm rebuilding my old engine. Tlicense beat me to it with his thread, and I haven't got his patience with taking loads of photos, but I'll try and document as I go! I'm going to build it myself in the garage, the spec is going to be: Block: JUN 87mm forged pistons Carillo forged rods Power Enterprise rod and main bearings ARP main and head studs & nuts HKS 1.6mm headgasket Ported head with: Ferrea 1mm oversize intake & exhaust valves Ferrea dual valve springs Ferrea valve guides Ferrea locks, retainers and valve seals JUN 264 intake/exhaust cams JUN cam gears So, let's start with the obligatory pics of shiny new bits to get things started!

merckx Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It's always nice when bits like this arrive in the post, it's a shame they'll be hidden away in the engine. A live webcam inthe garage would be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Out of interest whats the bill for parts alone mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 First thing you need to do something like this is a clean garage. A while back I moved everything out, cleaned the floor and painted it to get rid of dust. I've stripped the block and head right down (no pics, sorry!) already. It's going to the machine shop next weekend. While it's there I'll sweep the garage and clean it up again. First pic is my garage, the others are the block and head as it is now, stripped.

SimonB Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Out of interest whats the bill for parts alone mate? Best not to add it up I find Basically you're talking around £2300 including the oil pump, timing gear, idler pulley etc. Another £600 or so for JUN cams and gears IIRC.
