Bottom end assembly pics and details to come soon

[skylinekid]

yes paul lets do it our way...... i like that idea lol. im keen to see the bottom end piccys so wen there ready paul let me know.

[Swiper the Fox]

new head set-up...

1mm oversize inconnel valves

dual valve springs

titanium retainers

Tomei bronze valve guides

Tomei 270 deg 10.8mm camshafts

Tomei 1mm oversize lifter buckets

Red R Racing Stage II head porting and cam lobe clearancing

on a 2.8 litre Tomei bottom end with an N1 block this combo will be awesome

[skylinekid]

least this way we know it right and we'll never have an issue.... plus this head is done the way that keeps u sleeping at night aswell huh paul lol....

yeah and to think this engine was going to have the final assembly this week....ahh well the bottom end will be ready waiting for the head to be finished.

that list above looks impressive and its something the bottom end really deserves to have bolted to it.

i can sleep now

My car is supposed to be in QLD this weekend but due to everyone elses cars/engines...i don't have time to finish my own.

Everyone elses car first....unfortunately...mine last

Mark at Godzilla is excited about tuning this engine package...might have to put the cams a tooth out so it doesn't make more than mine...lol

nah give me more so i have even more problems gettin it to the ground lol... its gonna be bad enough as it is lol

[Swiper the Fox]

Righto...some pics

One virgin N1 block, bored 40thou and strainer plate honed

honed cylinder...block still has swarf sticking to the outside from the bore job (it was painful to watch a fresh block getting bored)

should have used the 86mm bore block in the background and grouted it...would have done the job...ahh well nevermind

anyway thats enough of the block...lets see the good bits

oops...how did that one get in here

[Swiper the Fox]

look at how far out of balance the Tomei pistons were...balance pads completely removed off 4 of them...two of them had their pins centre drilled to remove enough weight to get them right

one fully balanced Tomei 2.8 stroker crank

balancer grinds...even brand new stroker cranks are out a little
