That engine looks epic. Would make a great living room ornament.
The project is still a great read!
What's the story with the shell? Painter taking his time?
Engine looks amazing, stick at it.
My big target is the RH show in august, if all goes to plan it will be road by July. If the Gti Ni lads are allowing il bring it to wellan for the day. other than that I dont plan bringing it to much unless im 100% happy with it.
And now that Downroyal meets are no longer that kind of rules them out :/
This is class, fair play to you for sticking with it, should be awesome. I keep thinking that I should do my a-series with an 8 port head as they were homologated with those so would be eligible for historic events. I know of another chap who has built one of these and there has been no mention of the sort of issues you have had. Ho got his built by a retired engineer though who probably loved all the snags lol.
I can imagine there were issues right enough. The old boy that built the one I was talking about previously put a zetec head and home brew injection on a b-series bottom end basically for the craic so he'd have lapped up any issues. Both of those engines are going into Marina's
