Hi Iaiaiaian

Good to see this car still developing, well done Iaiain
Clean up the sharp edges,install it in the cam box and then fit the thrust plate and bolts and see what it looks like, chances are it will be fine.
Check the valve guides before you consider any other parts. A good upgrade is 1400 sr cam and carb, if you can find them.
Very nice.
Remind me on the one we built for rallying in the early 000's, looked very similar to yours, rally folk didn't like us, and got thrown out of the event,lol.
Have you cleaned out the head bolt holes in the block?
lol
The guy on mig that you stole this picture from is aware you stole it and doesn't mind lol
Graham, the head is saveable but will need a fair bit of inspection, the cam has broken due to the valve to piston contact, as I suspect also happened to your old cam.
When the head was originally...
Can't you modify a STD pulley?
I tend to agree with TJ, the car was appreciably faster into the corner and about a foot further in to the cut, classic co- driver blameworthy accident, the driver deserves a medal for being brave,...
Or x18xe1/z18xe on bike carbs, I know this is a Corsa,but you'll have more bulkhead room in a Nova.

It's still sitting on the spit, don't seem to get the time to get back into it at the moment, despite just having a weeks holiday.
I have loads of pistons and rods, I'll have a look.
Lovely job as usual mate.
Any witness marks on the valves or head?
If Steve wants the shocks delivering to Pirbright for free, I can arrange it.
They are £75.00 new, so how does £40 sound?
More info on the gas coilovers please?
Any chance of just buying the springs?
I have a few, 2.0xe, x18xe1, 16xe, c18xe, £100-£300, depending on spec.
Cheers pal
I'll have them mate
This should be a decent wee motor when it's done, any thoughts on the final drive ratio?
Here's one I did in a Corsa B.

Were the head bolt holes in the block cleaned out properly before you fitted the head?
