Into the rebuild stage. Gonna use the old block that I scored a week or two back. There has been a broken rod flapping round in there but nothing too serious damage wise. The rest of that motor is pretty shagged. Well totally rooted actually. So we're gonna use the crank and rods from the original m...

Ah yes! Indeed. Gonna have to use the crank,pistons and liners out of the original block and put them into the the one that had the broken rod. I fear that the deck of the other block may be too much of an expense to get up to scratch. Has some errosion that would need to be welded and milled to ach...

Souned like a good idea at the time. The toyota flywheel in the Fraser has been lightened by the super dupa toyota tek here. "no worries mate" he rekoned. Thought it may be the same. But thats cool. New cam profile, gapless rings, and a good ol generall freshin up should suffice. Just look...

After countless atempts and methods of trying to remove those barstard heads, they were finally released from their hold today. Gave up on the stud drilling idea after a couple. Long hole saw round the stud to about half way down on the top row. Penetrating fluid poured in and left there a few days....

Hey guys! Any of you run lightened fly wheels? If so how much weight did you remove? Cheerz Tim.

Hey X, tried porta power on quite a few different angles and places. No movement. there is some relief in the grip now though. After drilling down through the studs, we have about 30mm of movement. Hope the studs will come out of the block easier. Can allways drill them out too. Managed to score 2 m...

Hey Karl, Got 2 pair of spare cams. Maybe kelfords would be a goer! They did the cams for my Fraser 7. Toyota allteza 2 litre. Ground the lobes right off, then had them built back up in different place. Cant wait to get that fired up. Noddy Murdoch is the Toyota wizard from down here, has setup the ...

Yes but the Alfa sure OOOzes Style....

Thanks guys! Those racing parts shops make me weak at the knees. Oooooo Ahhhh. Wheres that plastic card with the numbers on it??? Cheerz Tim.

Hey Guys, When we get this motor apart, gonna have a little freshen up. Where would be the best place to purchase a set of Total seal rings? We have an ajent here in N.Z. but he's not too interested by the sounds of things [6 emails later]. Had a good read up about these rings on the net. They sound...

Grant, its posing a challenge all right, but I'm up for it. Also learning alot about these motors as well. X-rad, been done the propane track as well. Not a flicker! Still open to sugestions. Cheerz Guys. Tim.

MD Another good idea! May give that a whirl if the drill setup dosent go to plan. Heard of another plan also in wich you dob a bit of arc weld on to the top of the stud. Theory being to heat and expand then contract and break the fusion between. Managed to score a 2.5L and a 3.0 L motor for spares. ...

Quick update: Made up a plate to bolt on to the bottom row of studs and the tappet cover bolt holes, to wich can be clamped a electro magnetic drill press so we can bore down through the studs and release the heads. This will be the last atempt to get these little fu3ks off before big angle grinder ...

:?: What are you guys running in the wheel offset department? Looking at getting a set of wheels custom made. Just need to know what would be a good balance between looks and wheel bearing longevity. Looks to me that the rears could have a bit less offset compared to the front. Big space to fill. So...

Thanks. Same for you.
