Anyone fancy a peek inside a Sodemo F4R???

[Nick Skidmore]

I have bought a Sodemo F4R vv cheap, it's got a valve head off but it was silly cheap.

1st pic shows structural cam cover so it can be used as an engine mounting, also you can get the cover off without removing the pulleys. Another nice touch are the two bungs over each camshaft on No.1 so you can time the cams with the cover on.


2nd pic is under the cover, note the finger followers on two shafts throught the head. The cams are assymetric, very similar to an old GSXR1100 oil cooler.


I'll post more pics as I get further in.

What happend to your old engine?

totally different head casting. Interesting rocker shafts! VVT on both cams is a nice touch

Nothing, it's running great. Just planning ahead. Thinking I may offer a kit of bits to make more than 230 out of these.

Head casting is exactly the same with a 'bit' of machining, no VVT at all but camwheels are adjustable of course.

Very nice, Sodemo and cheap never go in the same sentence lol. You should get very nice salvageable parts in there. Its the induction system that supposedly makes all the power on these engines and the fact they rev to the moon.

How much you looking at for one of these then. and whats the outputs?

 

[MG cup]

Sodemo engine with all the ancillaries you'd be looking at around 80k-100k iirc in parts and around 260bhp with the single throttle body, some had ITB's I believe with more power, someone could confirm, there not cheap though.
