Oh and cheers
See sounds so cool!Designed to be the lightest heat-treated cast alloy 7.0 x 15 wheel on the market today, this wheel is some 25% lighter than a comparative conventional cast alloy road wheel. This is achieved through developments in Computer Aided Design and Finite Element Analysis, complete with full impact and fatigue testing. All conducted in house.
The postman would have brought some shims, if I had remembered to post them.Due to the cold and snow I've not been able to do much today, however I didn't let that defeat me.
I went and played with the head, i've shimmed the exhaust side now too, well bar two valves as i'm waiting on some more shims. I took the ones from the inlet which were gapped excessively (0.4mm) and used them on the exhaust side. Going to have to hear how it sounds as some of the gaps are a tight 0.3. If it's too fiesta like and I like these cams, i'll just reshim.
Anyway with that done, I decided to get some Ring practice in on Forza 3, as I was playing it I felt I should really be cracking on.
So bones warmed up I went up to the garage armed with my sump, pick up pipe and baffle.
Took some measurements and proceeded to modify and fit the baffle.
Due to using a zLET pump and pick up I had to modify the baffle to accept the pick up. Out with the nibbler and 5 minutes later it was done. Not hard like some would lead you to believe.
Pick up and WINDAGE PLATE fitted in correct position.
Marked out then duck taped in place
Baffle measured modified and then lined up using the sump. Marked up and tack welded on in various places to stop it moving. (notice bare metal marks...)
No pics of baffle as it breaches national security.
Tomorrow I will get some sillicon and start fitting the sump. Hopefully my postman brings me some shims too which will mean engine assembly!!!!!

PS Hey that is a nice ZLET oil pick up pipe.
Are the baffle plate mods to stop the Arp's catching? or for something else?
It is a well constructed pick up mate, you know who supplies themThe postman would have brought some shims, if I had remembered to post them.

The only mod I had to do was bend the tag closest the oil pump. The brown thing is a windage tray. The other mods I did was tack weld my baffle to the windage tray. I haven't put pics up due to the sensitive nature of the finished article and the prospect of people copying it. I bought it from Hellier performance if anyone wants one.
What the funk is a windage try?
