Holy crap - thats left field even for you. Morgan has modified the official 'options for cutouts' diagram for you. The pink is the 'Wil zone'...
Mad, bad, brilliant as always...

I wonder who looked after Wil before us ?

The last item should be "Book in for Therapy!"

Bonkers and wonderful at the same time...

After

A. Finding out about stuff called cam break in lube

B . Still talking about port matching

Both heads where taken off and port matched and re fitted.

Oh the fun

One step forward 10 steps back...
You'll get there mate

As some of you may know I didn't build this engine myself

It's was found at the weekend that the cam that is fitted is used and worn out. The cam On 2 of its lobes does not turn the lifter in there bore.

So engine out and full strip down as clearly things are not right here

Regarding the engine builder please start another thread in general section if you really want to start a witch hunt

That beats the hell out of a Clarke 2 ton engine hoist.

Good luck with the build, Will; I know you will make it a success.

DaveD · Post by **DaveD** » Mon Nov 02, 15 8:05 am

That's exactly how we put the engine into my Charger. Makes me fill less 'odd' now.

morgan · Post by **morgan** » Mon Nov 02, 15 8:22 am

Now THATS an engine hoist. Given that its Will, I'm just surprised it aint rocket powered...

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Mon Nov 02, 15 8:32 am

Funnily enough, we did have in-depth discussions about rockets.........

It's a bitch to have to do this mate but you'll have a lot more confidence in it once you've gone over it yourself.
The only part of my car I've not built myself is the motor bottom end and I always have a little nagging worry about it...

A big big thank you to

MR Pete Wiseman for coming over to my house and helping me.

With out him i would have started it and Bananarama! everything else

Pete saved the day

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Mon Nov 02, 15 11:26 am

It was my pleasure, I Bananarama! had been a better outcome.

Thanks for being an excellent host; and I am impressed by the way you took the disappointment with such good grace. Top man.
