Finally, some progress, literally porting finishing up today, just a bloody hold up on the delivery of the million dollar rockers, which should be here soon…

Yea well, so far I have had to sell both my kidneys, also my first born child.  Given I am 53, I cant offer my virginity, so if anyone has any ideas without resorting to robbing banks let me know…

Btw for those playing at home, I expected to see them polished, but they are actuallly 7000 series Aluminium and shot peened for strength and fatigue crack resistance.  Quite a bit of tech in them for something so simple looking.

If we don’t see 8500 on the dyno. I’m banning you.

Very nice, I’m with Cava 8500 minimum and it needs to see that everytime you drive it

So whats it just need the top end assembled now?

My induction won’t support 8,500 rpm.  7,000, maybe 7,500 is more like it.  But time will tell…

Yep the pedestals on the heads where the existing rockers mount get machined flat to take the adapter plate, then I think it’s working out pushrod length and buying them.  Then I think assembly and dyno time.

Is he finished yet?

He is aiming to have them finished next week.  Its taking  along time, and patience is not one of my virtues, but not much I can do…

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

What’s he doing 30minutes a day?

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Hahaha cava.

 

Quality can take time. They will be mint when they are finished

Yea, he has a lot on the go, and it does look first class quality wise, I am sure it will be worth the wait when I stab the gas pedal for the first time…

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Will definitely be worth the wait.
