Phase 3 started

[novax]

2 weeks ago it started..... "Phase3" the engine conversion. we're fitting a 1.6 16 valver into "X", MBE management, TBs, overbore, steel H/gasket and lightened/balanced bottom end. Headwork as well of course with wasted valvestems and bronse guides :D should be nice and quick, I think. It took us a day to strip and clean the block and head but it was well worth it as you can see.





Yesterday it all went off for machining, just got to start buying all the other goodies now 8) Thanks to PhilM ( the fool in the rain) and Rob for helping out.

Good shit patrick.

Looking good mate. Very jealous indeed.

Phase 0.5 starts on mine on Saturday hopefully.

Fitting my modded head which includes

Enlarged and flowed ports,
Three angle valve seats,
Waisted valves and stems,
Shortened bronze valve guides,
Blanked off EGR port,
Piper fast road cam.



Should be fun, this will last me until the bottom end is replaced next year and twin 40 carbs are added.
