All the parts are back except for the ones I forgot to order which I don't know about yet cause we haven't got that far yet. I'm sure I have enough to build 95% of the engine anyway. It's all new except for the heads, oil pump, and crank which was repolished.
Gotta take a first step. Ring gaps. Here's the top ring at a depth of 12 mm (top of piston to 2nd ring). .019". These are pregapped from JE. Everyone say run em at that gap. All rings were between .018" and .020" Dave Attached image(s) ![]() |

The scribe procedure is straight out of Jake's video and I've been told to do it that by other builders too. Jake's video has got a bunch of great ideas.
The clearances on the rod bearings are the same as last time and they were fine before. I wanted to check them cause the crank was polished. I still have to check on the bearing squish, but I think it's OK. Some specs are in Wilson's book and a lot of times stuff like that can be found by searching ShopTalk Forums. Jake's taken a lot of stuff off of there since (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif). If I get really stuck I Email Jake and he's been awful good about getting right back to me. The crank came from Jake. I think DPR welded it but, I'm not sure. The rods are part of Jakes combo. They came from CB Performance but, I won't give the specs. I hope people understand I respect the fact that Jake has come up with combos that work through hard work and I won't give his hard earned knowledge away. No hard feelings I hope. Kevin It certainly is quicker the second time around. I don't know about this engine for Whistler. I do want to get it done before Gerry goes back to school cause time gets tight then. I really doubt the carb thing. I've got the bugs out of the FI so I'm kind of leaning that way. Dave |
