Progress at last !

[Riggy]

shock : i was actually cutting tree's down today and sawing them into logs...

what is the world coming to..,.

did it feel good, if i was cutting trees down id have a big smile on my face

I always feel good whenever I lay down a log.

PMSL ::

looks good nick


ps i also have a gsi lump for sale :wink:

[??Mm?]

progress is always good

why did u not get the block worked as you wanted?

are you looking to use standard bottom end and just rip off the injection etc etc then?

Those carbs will look nice with a bit of chroming, nice one mate

[Jules]

also it does have some rough bits on either side of the port (can see the black lines on the photo) which i'm not overly impressed by.

Leave them rough, if you smooth them you'll make it worse.
It's designed rough as it helps to mix the fuel and air.

[Nick]

nooo, i know the roughness helps roll the air and keep the fuel in suspension, but this is quite a rough lip down each side of the port.

I will be paying a fair amount of money for it, and it's just not what i wanted to see.

I was going to get alot of work done on the bottom end , but if i can find a better condition one that just needs honing, i'l scrap the idea of getting it rebored with new pistons. It'l still have some lightening and balancing, ARP bolts e.t.c

Riggy what condition is your GSi lump in ?

[Riggy]

good mate it was seans old one before he had the xe fitted

[Chris]

I too can vouch for that, it drove lovely
