the top end runs quiet again!!

[Asa-James]

after a disaster with lifters when i put a new head on a few months ago, i finally got round to putting the old head on, with the old lifters, and it all runs nice and quiet! gonna give it a nice run to cheshire oaks tomorrow for the sales, and i might stop at demon tweeks on the way back for a look around! just thought i'd share it with you, as it took me all of ten hard minutes to polish the cover up:D

Glad to hear she's running sweet mate :D

Nice job on the cam cover too :thumb:

lol @ demon tweeks 'for a look'

Nice work on the rocker cover, could of been a bit less messy on the jointing compound between the head/cam housing tho :p,Lol.

[Asa-James]

what can i say, it was getting late! tok it out on tuesday, and got a comfortable 110mph(on my clock, so probably about 85!) for the first time. but i wont be doing that again, it just surprised me how a little bit of work goes a long way

[conad]

how was tweeksies... find anything interesting

[Asa-James]

forgot to go, but i'm sure a little drive might find me there soon by complete accident...

[Stuart]

id put the pan handle back on the filter ;) your just going to be pulling hot air in lol

[dannyb]

What did you use to clean the cam cover up mate?

[Asa-James]

wire brush on a die grinder/dremel multi tool thingy, and then polished it with metal polish (for some reason isopon springs to mind??)

and stu--its probably only a placebo effect, but i think it sounds better without it (theres a k&n filtercharger in there) but its probably just me!

[Adam]

Yeah it will sound better without the handle, but it will be sucking hot air straight in thats rising from the head/cam housing.

[Asa-James]

oh well, cant be that bad can it..............


jk i know its bad, i'll sort some sort of cold air feed soon, maybe some of that expanding silver piping from halfords, then i could follow it with some of those colour coded hose covers, hmmmmm, you got me thinking now........*ahembullsh1tahem*

Yeah it will sound better without the handle, but it will be sucking hot air straight in thats rising from the head/cam housing.

in other words mate (novasr-ish) it will run a hell of a lot better if you put it back on.... sod how it sounds :roll:
