Hey !!! welcome geezer !!! post some pics of Your build ahahahaha buhahahahaha (sarcasm)Originally Posted by royster
~insert super facepalm here~ Yeah, I know. This is one long winded process that has endured roadblock after roadblock, changes in direction and cash flow issues. If I could just 'throw cash at it' then this would be a done deal and I'd be motoring along by now nicely (but I ain't got no cash!). My head was trash and I wanted another mechanical head - couldn't get one. So I extensively reworked what I had (fingers crossed it pays off). Making it work required some serious port finishing that I couldn't afford so I used what I'd learned on previous engines and raised the level (plus the cam journal caps were shredded so I used one very dubious method to repair them) .
I could've left the EGR crap alone but I knew this would hinder getting it to run as smoothly as I wanted so I went the whole 9 and completely deleted it from the inlet manifold and sealed the EGR gallery in the head (I did a similar job on my G32B powered Celeste and it ran sooo much smoother) And then the carb. Previous idiot cleaned the base gasket it off it with the garage floor - yep, it's junk. This idiot buys a good clean Mikuni from a wrecker, then finds a Weber a few months later...
Yay, more work - and the Weber should have a kit put through it before I install it (more money goddammit)
Wish you a rainfall of money, Geeze.
I looked around for your build thread but couldn't find it. Might you clue me in on that?
Or is this it?
