the headnut bosses on the cylinder heads are machined to achieve the desired thread length on the studs as 3 of the 16 headstuds could have been 4mm
longer , but not available in this length when I ordered them

I then insert small grub screws (that have been sharpened to a point) into the cylinders & put the heads on to mark where the stud holes need to
be drilled for the 5th & 6th studs

the 5th headnuts wont clear the spark plus , so I machine down the nut boss area ..... unfortunately the head gaskets supplied by Pauter dont fit
straight over the 5th & 6th headstuds so we will have to hand file the holes to suit as the gasket is very thin in this area . (we did have the
same issue with Bens engine also)

WOO HOO !! just opened my mail tonight and received an ' OFFICIAL TRACK RECORD ' for Sydney Dragway in the CC/MD class in the WPVW Dragster
10.179@132.9mph .
I backed this up with a pass of 9.888@135.52mph but this was outside the 1% to be validated as a record .....

not sure how many 4 cylinder supercharged/turbocharged modified dragsters there are in the country ..... the national record for this class is in the
low 7's (powered by Nissan) , but WPVW currently has the quickest one that has run at Sydney Dragway since its opening ....

Well done Wayne! Always nice to have a certificate to say you hold a record!
Holy cow, look at that C/MD record at 8.46! (normally aspirated 4 cylinder).
I wonder what that is!?
I see also that Russel Sarten's VW also holds a track record in SS/C!
Well done to you both!

I calculate the compression ratio & choose a 0.030" (0.75mm) shim for under the cylinders to set the comp at 8.75:1 ...... the final assembly
starts with the installation of the pistons & cylinders

Are the 5/6th headstuds just threaded into the cylinder ? Is there no concern with threads at that end of the cylinder with the amount of potential
thermal expansion even with methanol ?

the 5th & 6th studs are threaded straight into the top of the extra heavy-duty cylinder spigots as Pauter have designed them to be . There is also
the option of drilling the threads that Pauter have installed there , straight thru the spigot & running studs to the case if the case is suitable
. My mag case is not suitable to do this ......
