i have noticed that both my block and head have a slight burr on them, is it best to remove this before assembly as im guessing it will cause hot spots and potentially melt the fucker?

is ok to just run a bit of emery cloth around the bores and the edge of the combustion chamber on the head?

and lastly, as the engine will be all built up, it still wont be started for several months while the rest of the car is getting sorted out, am i best off using some of that engine builders grease and slap a load on instead of just using oil, as that will possibly drain away wheres the grease will stick to everything.

i think thats it for now lol

thankyou please

 

anyone?

 

Do you mean after being decked?

If so yes you would be best to break it into a radius using a very small file.

 

why not wait till you need the engine?

i'd wet and dry the burrs as it will be alot smoother

 

why, cos im inpatient lol

got all these bits kcicking around that sooo need to go together.

i guess wet and dry would be fine too, its only where the block and faces have been skimmed that it feels a bit sharp

might be ok as it is tho

 

Just use a small file, seriously its a lot more accurate than snadpaper, you dont want to effect the bore or the face, only the edge between them.

 

ok cheers chip, ill get a needle file off the old man

what about the grease etc, is it worth building it yet or awaiting another 6 months

 

Build it now, just use plenty of Graphogen when you put it together.

Did you manage to get some cams from mr newman?

 

not rang em yet mate, been busy and hardly in the office as late.

oh, them injectors, what was the cc of them again?

i forgot lol but think it was 605?

 

ive built an engine im not using for at least a year, i just keep it well lubed up in the mean time and stored in a warm and dry place

 

ah thats cool then, ill crack on with that then when i get a few spare mins lol

 

630 cc @ 3 bar , High impedance.

 

sounds interesting doug?

where from, and how much, sounds ideal for the vauxhall lads!

 

I can just see your missus bollocking you now, when she goes to get the hoover out from under the stairs and finds a greasy engine tucked away!

 

well, mine will be done in the kitchen

chip, doug imported them from the states for me, Siemans jobbies, and were a lot less than a set of greys!!

ill let doug tell you how much ŁŁŁ if he wishes, as i dont know if he will be selling them etc

 

Yep they are ideal for most aftermarket stuff, being high impedance.

Drop me a line on MSN later tonight and i will tell all.

 

They are not actually from the states! They do have to be imported, but not from USA.

 

exotic business building an engine these days:
dutch manifolds
swedish plenums
mongolian injectors

 

Did i not tell you i am half mongol?

 

by the way, i dont think you are on my msn list, and its not on your profile

 

garage19@hotmail.something?

 

add me mate, mine is on my profile
