Cylinder Head Photos & Build
Had a long chat with my engine builder last night and he was kind enough to send me some build photo's of the cylinder head work that he has been doing over the past fornight.
The cylinder head started life as a ADR largeport 1.8 N/A unit which had obviously been using longlife servicing as the head was in a bit of a state and it looked like it had been painted inside with gloss black paint
Cams removed to show the gloss finish
The head was then thoroughly cleaned, stripped and blasted so the mammoth task of porting and polishing could begin,
Comparisson of a non cleaned cam cap against the head.
It was then time to install the Ferrea valvetrain, got the full shabang here, all valves, springs, retainers etc.
All installed
Cams installed and caps torqued down
All timed up

Also got a brief photo of the block that has been bored to 83mm.
As in the previous posts ran into problems with a missing cam cap, BIG thanks to graham for his kind offer of sending out a new one on friday, JP has found one fairly local to him going to test all the oil clearances of both of these caps and if it's not right send it away for line honing.
Big Thanks to JP @ JNL racing for the engine work and for being a top bloke
