Guys,
This is the first motor I have EVER built. Ever... I'm not kidding. It takes a little homework and mocking up, but nothing *really* crazy. I put this one together twice: The first time the lifters let loose, here's the carnage from it: http://www.qtm.net/~persot/webcam/ It wasn't my fault, it was mispackaged lifters from SCAT. Oh well - live and learn. Aircooled.net took care of the problem like a champ. So, I put this one together twice and helped my friend Grant put together a 2056 for his 912. Yes, the 2056 is easier to put together, but the 2270 basically the same thing. Just lots of checking of parts first. The rods are SCAT I-beam rods with ARP bolts. Nothing special. Putting the motor together is easy. It's getting the right heads, induction, and exhaust. Heads, go to Headflowmasters and tell Adrian what you are building and he'll help you out. He's a good guy. Send the whole rotating mass to Jake Raby for a balancing service (after you've mocked everything up to make sure it clears). You might have to add an extra oil cooler just for those high RPM blasts (which WILL happen) and some highway driving. Get a setrab cooler pack and never look back. I make it sound easy - but in the engine building reality, it's not that bad. It's 90% preparation, 9% sweat, and 1% good luck... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Later, Tom |
