Send crank in for knife edging the counter weights, gives you less friction through the oil and has less probs on revs. Send con rods in for peen blasting, get them ni-tempered, purchase new crank bearings. Send new forged pistons in to a machine shop and have the gudgeon pin holes bored out to the next size gudgeon pin up. Next, send crank, con rods, gudgeon pins and new pistons in for balancing. Get the top of the block shaved and also the head, not only for a higher compression ratio, but to give a good straight seat to rest on. Talk to your engine and play clasical music, it may sound nuts, but it will raise your concentration, and make you feel all fucked up in the head. You will build a better engine, trust me. It sounds fucked up, but it works. When building this engine, spend wisely, and buy the best bolts you can get your hands on. You want this engine to run as sweet as pie in all rev ranges. Rebuild with allot of care, strap your crank shaft in... Take the sharp edges off of the piston ring ends, this will reduce those annoying score marks in the cylinder. Rebuild with a steel type competition head gasket, they give a better life and seal like a nuns ceeeunt. At this stage, you have the makings of a very strong engine. If you are good at crafting up some steel plate and a bit of clean welding, Make up some anti wash plates with allot of 15mm holes through the plate and cut the plate to the shape of your sump, watch for the counter balence weights though. weld them into possitions that wont interfere with any moving parts. This will help if you will use the car for fast cornering. Modify the oil pick up line next. the end where the pick up is needs to be at least another half size larger, have someone fabricate an eliptical egg shaped catcher. Drill holes all around the welded egg, 2mm holes is fine for this, it needs to resemble an egg thats been shot with a shot gun. Get hold of some stainless mesh from a airconditioner manufacturer, as it is the mesh has the right size holes to be used to filter the oil from impurities. drill a hole into the egg, the size of the oil catch tube, I think its 9mm, braze the egg on. Wrap the egg in the stainless mesh and hold into place with a small hose clamp. Rebuild bottom end with new gaskets.. You are ready for the track with this engine now, as solid as a rock. Your next step is to put a sprint cam in it and then send to a dyno to get tuned properly. As you can see, there are very minimal modifications here, everything is standard except a few things to have the engine ballanced out nicely. It will last you for yonks, as you have now spent a good bit of time on it. Don't try rush it, an engine is like a woman, the more time you spend touching it, the more joy you will get from it, and the longer it will last... Have fun Ciaran [Updated on: Thu, 21 October 2004 00:09] [Report message to a moderator]
