jessicas xmas pressie

thanks Rupert :)
i think you will struggle to find a 4 branch for iron engines [xx(]
its more a case of having one made, which i can do but it will not be cheap (200-250)[:0]
as an alternative, i can modify the std manifold to flow more and take a bigger downpipe, which i can supply. if anyone is interested (80):)

oh no, just when i thought it was safe [:0]:D
yes trev i can do one for you (£75) they are a lot of work and hassle for me, but its a worthy cause ;)
the only problem at the moment is that i have not got one available to modify (would appreciate yours please rupert) so you would have to send me yours trev if possible [?]

it took longer to get the old studs out than to do the ports [xx(]
the new studs are stainless and bronze welded in [^]

WOW :p:p......... I can wait as long as it takes, it wont stop me fitting the engine. Started cleaning the head up today, the valves just need the lightest lap-in and I'm pollishing the ports as best I can. I'n not brave enough to start taking metal from the combustion chambers but they will be shiny [8D][8D]

if you want too panky send me the head and i will torture it into submission [}:)]

"you were only supposed to blow the bloody SLIDING doors off"
 
MY GOD is there nothing you wont do to the poor lumps[:0].
Thanks Tim but I'll leave it for now, if I ever find another then I'll have a go and see what a mess I can make:I

no, nothing is sacred [}:)] you should see what is happening to my honda 90 head [:0][:0]

nice work BMM, I've got the carb all ready to go on, but have still to souce a spare manifold. I would be very interested to hear how much better it is and did you have to modify any of the surrounding panels or did it go straight in? I'm not in any hurry at the moment as Thingyjig is off the road at present awaiting respray.
Cheers

ok time for a teeeny update and a bunch of questions.

The manifolds are now almost ready to go in. I've fitted a servo connection and I have an un-broken exhaust manifold (see here for more details http://rupertpugh.blogspot.com/2009/05/one-step-forwards-and-eight-back.html) ready to go on. I had a bit of trouble cleaning off the head-manfold face. There was a load of rust/nastiness under the middle manifold ports which needed to be chipped off.

Time for the questions:

firstly - the nuts I removed from the manifold studs were steel - shouldn't they be brass?
second - I need to close over the hole in the top of the exhaust manifold with a steel plate but should I keep the deflector (from between the exuaust and inlet manifolds? It seems a little brutal, but it would be quite straight forward to flatten it out, weld it up and use it as the manifold closing plate.


any advice (as usual) gratefully apreciated.

p.s. Martin you have mail!

cheers

Rupert
