Look good James, glad to see its still progressing
Sorry for the lack of updates as i've had family issues as my mother almost died but we got her to the hospital in time to get here into the operating theatre.
Anyway i managed to get back on it again and finished of the inlet ports and look into valve shrouding more, just need a old head gasket if anyone has one? also just need to know what the bore size will be when done?
Some head p**n now
Thank you, This head will be the most modified 172 head i've ever done. I have a few combustion chamber modifications to do too so i look forward to see what it will do.
So it wouldn't be any good for a road car?
Cracking work mate.
Sorry mate not been on my computer for ages so can't renew subscription. Please email me at ashtonoprjames at hotmail.comBIGASH totally offtopic to the thread, i've just tried to send you a PM but it seems the Inbox is full
Not yet no Ian. Just doing a quick build to get some nice numbers and will then see if I want to do big engine build. If I did then yes would be long rods, steel crank etcIs this to go with the solid lifter and cam kit I sold him , if so it will be interesting to see how it turns out , is it going short stroke / larger bore or staying standard ?
Correct mateNo this is just for a fairly basic spec temp engine I think Ian.

Flol! Sorry couldn't resist!!
If anyone has a old head gasket they haven't thrown away yet I wouldn't mind it please.
I'll have one this week.
Got a teacher today apparently?
Yes great to see you too mate sorry you didn't come 20 mins earlier or you could of come out for a sessionGood seeing you guys today, shame I got there late. Car was looking good.
How much did you hate your gearbox James? Or did it not ruin the car too much?
Not at all buddy just appreciated getting out in the car. Was odd without the close ratios but still lots of fun
