Ben,
The fan looks nice. What did you do to the center hub..is that cad paint?

the trick was hest to heat up the steel with a propane not enough to screw up the powdercoating but enough to void it of moisture and warm to the touch then sprayed some gold spraypaint it boils a bit then I cleared it 3-5 minutes later with satin clear.. I have tried this many times before and works well..

as you can tell time is limited but here is as of last night

Where is the GSF crank pulley? :-)

sitting on the bench.. It does not have holes in it for my specail crank pulley tool so I just used this for timing and valve adjustment

Did you have these professionally powder coated or is this a Eastwood kit?

no cf engine shroud bling?

-i find it impossible to clean up the stock piece, i've sanded, painted, re-painted....its not good.....

i've never seen powder coating that light blue/grey before, but i think i like it.

whats your hp goal on this beast? should rev nice being such a short stroke.

It is machine gray and I sent it to euroeast and they did there (powder coating)

The shroud was painted then I stripped it back off and I buffed and it turned out pretty well It still has compound on it but it is fairly glossy. I though about replacing it but really it will be covered by the 3.2 intake and the IC so No one will see it..

Hp is 300-350 As I want it to last for a while

sorry, crank or wheel?
either way should be dependable.

exciting, have you test fit the IC yet? or is that to come?

what is your combustion chamber volume?

heads are 92cc Did not cc the domes but they are very close to flat top JE's that henry@supertec said were 8- 8.5-1 depending on head so I am very comfortable with that I would like to 300 at the wheels.. I of course need to change some things but easily atainable if I want.. The IC and turbo mount up with be showing up very shortly in the pics

Was it Motodelta or Euroeast who did the powdercoating? Who did you contact for this service because I couldn't determine this from their website? You can PM details if you don't wish to waste band width here. Look'n good.

Euroeast

ok here are some pics as of this morning 5 am.. The piston is of why we started this fun adventure as you can see it is still usefulhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169818158.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169818174.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169818196.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169818213.jpg

Ben.... looks awsum!!! are you going to be running crankfire with your MS ...

thats the plan but I will get it up and running again with the dizzy first

Ben,
Trying with dizzy first is great idea, but should also hook up the VR sensor & pulley before you put the engine back in.
It will be easier (no need to change pulley with engine in car) and you can probably test the circuit prior to going all the way :)

I don't like it. I really don't like it. The walls should be drywall, not particle board in your garage.

But that engine will be sweet.

yeah thats the plan just used this pulley to turn the engine over for valve adjustment



OH AND I HATE DRY WALL thats why i went osb

Hi Ben,
really nice work...!.....about painting parts....don't you think that the powdercoated will stop a little bit heat exchange....?

yes it will but how much reallY?? porsche use to powder coat the upper valve covers .. The chain cases should not be to much of a problem either lots of guys have done this in the past..
