My Supercharged Monaro build

[stevieturbo]

A rotating assembly really would represent good value at this stage.

Although strictly speaking not necessary, but it would...or should come all balanced up and ready to rock.

[gsd2000]

i will look into a pre balanced rotating assembly

So i thought that i should post an update

I decided to wrap my manifolds using DEI titanium wrap

Before



During



After



I had a knock on the front door and all this arrived







Inspecting the Callies Compstar rods



Ive also made a start on the base tune and should have that ready very soon

The plan is to drop the block off on Tuesday and i should if i keep pushing and chipping away have the car on the road for the V8UK Power Tour which is around the 24th May

Looking great bro! That awesome feeling when you get new shiny car parts

[alfienoakes]

That piston is pure art

Those manifolds look the same as mine how much wrap did you need to do them ?

[gsd2000]

Block secured and dropped off at Knight Engine Services for machining

Get on with it Gurmeet!

I've got some tools that you might find useful if you want a borrow. Push-rod length checker, valve-spring tool (the heads installed kind), and a thing for aligning the timing cover...all unused since stick did the dirty for me.

i believe i ordered a 100ft roll.

That was just enough but my manifolds have 1 5/8th primaries so if you have bigger primaries i would order more

timing cover tool would be handy, i have the others

[gsd2000]

i collect the block on the 2nd May for reassembly, and at the same time hopefully drop off my rotating assembly because a few bearings were missed from my order
