BLUE LIGHT DISCO


lotsa wiring and fiddly interior work the last week or so, finally got my gauges in and the wiring for the air con. Made my own gauge holder because I'm anal and wanted a specific shape and size and location. So Cal ignition switch and push starter fitted....

Parts of the engine are finally arriving by boxes and heavy freight costs :lol:

Do the heads look familiar Mr Berry?... case arrives next week hopefully and SCAT order arrives tomorrow I think.

really splashing the cash..........:lol:

I have to order an exhaust and booster off you Mr Berry , will call you next week for costs...... ;)

I have a tech question..... after building up the long block (rotates nice and smooth, no bad noises) I went to assemble the rockers and push rods. I am using standard rockers (Scat swivel feet) a C35 cam and standard lifters (all Scat), when I install my rods (Scat CroMo 11.50) then try to nip them up to the heads there is about a 12mm gap between the rocker and the seat of the cylinder head. I have made sure all the lifters are pushed inwards and rotated the engine on all TDC cylinders and they still don't fit.
I will say that I bought the full Scat engine kit , so I figured everything in the kit would be compatible but it seems the rods are too long for the rocker and cam assembly. Shouldn't it be standard length push rods ?.
thanks in advance ......... Binner
