Coke is also very good at cleaning stuff, but has the drawback of leaving stuff sticky! lol

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread
Finished lapping all the valves and dishwashed the head last night, came up quite well. Bottom spring retainer and new valve stem seals in
Gradually got the valves in. Bottom retainer > stem seal > 2 springs > top retainer > 2 b*stard collets!
Head bench
All exhaust valves in
And inlets
Put the lifters in having soaked them in some engine oil, move pretty freely now
Cleaned up the cam carriers. Can't put cams in and bolt them down yet as I havent got any gasket sealant stuff
New cam oil seals
Started taking the old engine to bits to borrow a few bolts and see what goes where etc
Complete mess!
17 days to Brands.... :dead:

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread
Swapped belt/idler/tensioner over from the other engine and got that fitted and timed up. Painted the cam pulley cover black too
Fitted my newly painted inlet manifold, along with PTFE gasket. Polished the fuel rail a little bit too. Injectors in also.
PTFE throttle body gasket fitted
Thermostat housing and sensors sealed on, low temp 'stat swapped over from before.
Oil cooler sandwich plate and new filter. Need to decide on pipework routing for the cooler yet
Clutch swapped over from the other engine, aligned using an old boot gas strut, perfect!
Degreased the gearbox and gave it a quick squirt of paint
Found this nice crack in the top o/s engine mount, think I'll swap that!
Gearbox on
Re-wrapped all the engine loom as it was looking a bit tatty. 3 rolls of electrical tape later
Swapped gearbox mount to one in slightly better condition
Cooling pipework on
Started connecting the loom back up, almost ready to go in
Engine in, just sat on its mounts for now but not plumbed up

Tht beast lol
Having a problem with insane vibrations coming through the cars chassis atm but it should be sorted soon. Didnt help tht one of the rear wheels was egg shaped too when i took it off but still cant complain at what i paid for it.
Driving position is much nicer in them imo aswell than 1*2's.
