Ninove 2010

Push rod tubes and rockers

Time to fit the Empi push rod tubes

1st side is done

Piston / Cylinder / Head

Good clean in a soapy water bowl for the 1641cc cylinders and pistons



All pistons rings are in place. Everything is ready to be fitted.

Installation of the new Heavy duty Springs

Excellant tool to put the pistons in there chambers.

First half done.

SCAT Pulley

Tried to install the pulley tonight but the tinware was touching the oil pump, so i had to make a hole to give access.

This is how it looks

Everything is so tight.

At least it's in.

SCAT Full Flow filter oil Pump

This is the SCAT Full Flow I am going to install,

The first problem was that the studs were too short.

And the 2nd one was that the oil pump was hitting the block and couldn't be a perfect fit.

I first removed the studs and made some longer ones

I also had to remove some material on the oil pump, only about 1mm

I had to do the same on the block.

Job done, the oil pump is in place.

Very High Temperature Paint

Engine ready for Very High Temperature Paint. It should withstand temperatures up to 500 oC.



It should be protected enough

This is the result. Matt Black, nice and tidy.

Block now closed

The crank and bearings are now in place. The cam bearings have some Torco engine assembly lube, ready for for the C35 Cam




The Scat Cam now in place and the block has some gasket compound.

Torque wrench in hand,

Job done!!! Everything seems to rotate properly.

Block nearly there

Scat C35 ready to be fitted

New bearings, everything seems to turn

I have closed the block to make sure everything works properly.

I can now open it up and complete the build.

Crankshaft

Removing the bearing on the crank is not an easy task.

My camping gaz happened to be very useful to fit the gears to the crank.

Hot Hot Hot...

Job done

Torque wrench in hand, Job done...
