that the deck height left something to be desired.
Pistons were about 1,4mm down the bore at TDC.
Now one canīt really have that in a race motor,can one.?
We also soon took notice of all the scratches in the piston
skirts.After a little dealing with inside micrometers and such,
we noticed that the pistons had been running WAYY to tight in
their bores.
Apart from that-which by all means is enough,it is a RACE motor
after all-we took pleasure in that the bottom end was OK.
Then..we started looking at the heads
At first glance,we could clearly see that 6 out of the 8 holes hadnīt
been sealing.Valves were way off in colour for that.True enough.
When we checked it on a Miravac ,10 of those valves(in the 6 offending holes)
wouldnīt pull a vaccum if their lives depended on it
Job was supposed to be done by a reputable firm here in town.
Called a good friend of mine who works there to check the story out
Yup,the heads had been there alright,and when i asked WTF was up with the
job they performed on those heads he didnīt know what i was talking about
Figures i guess.If you donīt check...
When the heads were all apart we found 7 (!!!!) different valveguide types in them
This just beats me!
How the hell ANYONE can put something like that together in a set of as
expensive a
heads as these..Yeah well..
