help before engine build

bajaben · 2006-05-09T11:10:09+00:00

Building a mild 1916. engle 120 cam, ported heads, dual 36 dells, counter weight crank, balanced con rods, balanced flywheel but not lightened. is there anything that i should look for that isn't normal when building a stock engine? im using an old case thats been machined, flycut around where the barrels go in, ground out where the crank goes in and clearanced for the rods, even though i don't need it. i wanna get an idea of anything thats different to normal so i can be ready for it. any help would be appreciated. cheers

Yes if required, all included for $99. No need to machine the bearing, Stan will machine the case to suit 'off the shelf' bearings. e.g. 1mm, 2mm thrustcut.

Does that answer your question?

well its too late for me now, its already in the shop. oh well. get the case and heads back next week, give the heads a clean up and get them looked at then it will be time to start putting it together. what compression ratio should i run? im thinking of going for the supercharged route later on down the track so i think keeping it low for now would be good. then again its not hard to lower it once needed. any suggestions?

trunk monkey, because sometime getting your car back just isn't enough
