Oh dear.
Incoming Cliownage?
Incoming Cliownage?
You skimmed the head of the engine by 10 thou and you had problems with clearance between valve and piston?? and you are running stock piston so it's impossible that you had problems with the clearance valve/piston if you skimmed 10 thou. Why do you have the pressure of the cylinder at 240 psi if you skimmed 10thou. I think that it's to much pressure for the skimmed. These are only my thoughts.
I had skimmed the head of my engine by more than 20 thou and my pressure it's around 220psi I'm running stock cams and I didn't had problem with the clearance valve/piston, cheers.
Then, another disaster! We were convinced the bent valves were because of clearance issues but after the engine was built, we put the timing tools on and whipped the belt off the crank pulley tp check it before we went ahead. There was a chunk of metal in it that must have been wedged in the covers somewhere along the line, this has chucked the belt forward or back a tooth causimg the bent valves. So at 6pm, we couldn't do much more! Ben's getting a belt in the morning and hopefully it'll be ready for mapping wednesday.
ahhhhh! What now Hayley....
I'm sure Hudson will update you, fingers crossed it'l be finished on time for FCS thou..
Well all that I'm saying it's that he could ask here at the forum if someone had skimmed the head of the K4M and if that person had problems with the clearance valve/piston. Me in this case could had help him, best luck dude want to see this car running.
Much needed me thinks

Done a fair bit today, was supposed to run the engine but the ecu and laptop didnt want to know each other. Bens been over to Rob from VEMS so should all be sorted soon!

Aye, I'll upload some photo's in the morning!
Spec is-
Cat cams 704
AWT headwork
AC removed with custom alternator brackets
Custom AWT plenum with 172 throttle body and injectors
VEMS engine management and wideband
Pencil coils ditched for coilpack and leads
Prospeed cat back with Supersprint decat.
No idea on power output as its a complete unknown. Looks pretty though

Will be revving to a few hundred RPM after peak power. Im gonna be running it in at FCS as its had rings on cylinder one, then back to the rolling road for a proper map when I can rev it. I'd of thought 7500 though.

You have no idea Treen

Reet, few more pics of the car. Got to AWT early, Ben was inside scratching his head about why the ecu wouldnt connect so he went over to the guy that supplys them to sort it out.
First, gave the brakes a tidy up and quick paint, will clean the arches etc after FCS when I have some time....
Randomn one of the inside with the ECU and loom in the passenger well, Im going to make a box for it to sit it as far under the seat as my subframe will let me!
Slam panel, radiator with the 2 little fans (needed to remove the stonking standard one for space), coolant hoses and expeanion bottle fitted. At this point, I'd put the driveshafts, dogbone and gear linkage back together aswell with the help of Trung, Ben's mechanic...
I was going to rip all the airbag loom out, so took the dash top off and all seat wiring, then realised Id need the whole dash off, so put it back together until I have more time, lol. Whacked the bumper back on and played about with the bonnet alignment but as its a non gen its a shite fit anyway, got one ready to fit before FCS though so should be reet!
How it stands now, waiting for mapping and for me to try and blag someone to do my sidestrips before saturday!
