Regulator built into valve cover breather -
Go for it!

Honing the block to blueprint size with both torque plate and main caps installed and tightened. Honing in this manner simulates the stresses on the block when it is fully assembled resulting in a better quality cylinder finish for improved ring seal. -
Engine block with torque plate installed. The torque plate simulates the stress and distortion present when the head is in place so that the cylinders are round while being honed. -
Mike, Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this. Richard

Attaboy Steve! You might also check out AutoX. Low speed fun without the high speed risks. Richard

Offset shaft-mounted rocker arms, 1.45 in. O.D. beehive springs, titanium retainers and viton seals. -
Whatever happened to this?
-
The heads were given a thorough cleaning in preparation for final assembly. -
Split-pin, even fire crankshafts require six individual bob weights to simulate the piston/connecting rod assemblies. -
I'm not trying to hi-jack this thread - but since it came up, I just have to ask. . . when is the TC rod (tension Compression) ever in tension? Sorry to interupt, just curious.

The head was set up at an angle of 1.66 degrees and 205 thousandths of an inch removed. The resulting 70 cc chambers will yield a compression ratio of 9.5 to 1. -
The desired combustion chamber volume is poured into the chamber, (in this case 70 cc's.) A measurement is then taken fron the deck surface to the liquid. This is the amount that needs to be milled from the head gasket surface of the head. -
Oil that drains back from the cylinder heads is not allowed to drip down onto the rotating crankshaft. Instead, it is sucked from the lifter valley by this tube connected to one scavenge stage of the oil pump. -
