heads are now totally rebuilt and ready for action. new SS valves, new seats, new guides, new HD springs, new retainers and keepers. new flycut. no more cracks....only had one small one after 160K miles hard to believe that these heads had 160K miles on them, to look at them now...all nice and shiney... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) here you go with some pics. rebuild of the 2056 will get serious this weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) a few pics of my other engine stuff new KB 96mm flat top pistions, rods balaned and checked, new small end bushings. Original Mahle cylinders bored and honed to 96mm and the last pic is what the heads looked like about 2 months ago when I pulled them off the motor.

doper,
I have used HUNDREDS of sets of the KB pistons and currently have 130K on the set in my TIV daily driver. I have pushed the KB pistons betond the realm they should ever be effective in and have NEVER had an RPM related failure. In fact we have only seen two piston failures with the KBs, both times the skirt clearance was incorrect and thats what started the inital issue. I make 200+ reliale HP with these pistons all the time and would RATHER USE THEM instead of a JE for 90% of my race engines! You are a newbie, your title says so... Newbies don't come in sputing off their experience most of the time. QUOTE I have more two cylinder air cooled experience then most of you combined ... Ummn, a Type 4 isn't a two cylinder- guess what, other experience doesn't pertain to this engine... The guys that think it does cost themselves the most money through stupid mistakes. But you did choose the correct user name :-) |
