Once i gather up the cash i'm taking the bottom end and head to an engineering firm to have some work carried out!
I want the engine to run as "new" as possible. I'll be running a 285 profile cam, 4 branch manifold and webber 32/34, all of which are brand new.
What should i have the engineering firm do to the bottom end, flywheel and head to get the maximum gains from the engine, and so that i will have no problems with it?
Its a 1.3SR
Cheers
Keith

Thanks for all the help guys... wow this technical forum is really helpful :o

If you are compromising performance by sticking with a twin choke carb, I would only do a recon job.
Re-grind crank with over-sized bearings.
Re-bore with 1mm larger pistons and new rings.
New gaskets and check condition of oil pump.
New stem seals.
I assume you are fitting new rockers with your new cam.

also dependin how much u wanna spend knife edging and lightenin is a gd plan and the flywheel just get it lightened and balanced and as for the head larger valves, 3 angle valve seats, porting, polishin, skimmin theres loads of stuff all of which will help but also cost so up to u wot u get done

Thanks guys.. with the cam, webber and the engine work, i still should be looking at a good increase in power?
Any estimates?
with good head work and the manifold modded properly for the weber then id say 90bhp is realistic for you.
good luck :D
Hope you've got plenty of cash set aside, my bottom end cost about ?600 to do properly. Mind you it is the "new" block I wanted.
