Well, finally, after many many years have begun building an engine. Life just gets in the way sometimes... Work, got widowed, years pass, get married again... life :-).
So way back in the 2005 timeframe this was supposed to be a hot 2.0 to swap for the 4 banger that came in the 1967 912 I picked up while a post doc in new mexico.
Was going to be a 2.1 longstroke actually on R cams. My first (and supposed to be only, haha) splurge purchase was a set of titanium rods from Crower. Beautiful pieces. Those went onto an original RSR crank kindly sourced by BMEP from this board. Also found a set of straight cut gears while trolling the board
. Remember that 'only one splurge piece bit'....
Toss in a GT3 oil pump in a modified 68 aluminum case. Shuffle pins, the 'big' 1.5 mm squirters, oil mod, ect... including mounts for MFI welded on. Coated bearings too.
Well, along the way there happened to be a set of LN 92 mm cylinders in the for sale section and not a week later, a set of 92 mm RSR Mahle pistons as well. I just watched both of these sit till I couldn't stand it, said F&*k the 2.0 and bought both. Kinda forgot they would have to go off and be re plated to actually fit eachother...duh.
This was my undoing... Cause now I just had to have RSR heads... and they are around, I just never had the luck to have cash while a set was for sale (at least those I could afford).
So Thankfully, Steve Weiner said he could fix all that with his magic CNC...along with the sickness of reducing rotational mass with DLC coated Ti wristpins. And that sets up another post cause I need to get pictures...
