Alternator stand

My friend Manne came to see the engine and spotted my alternator stand. There is no stand available for Killer case so I tried to make one myself. Well, I did and actually it didn't fit at all. Manne being a master at the local art school Aalto (formerly known as TaiK) was horrified with my efforts. He promised to see if he could do something with it and two days later he came with this very nice piece of aluminium.

Side to side with my version.

Perfect fit.

I assembled the heads and they're ready to be bolted on.

More good news is that my camshaft has left from JPM and is on its way here. Also Kotten promised I'll get the crankshaft back this weekend. Looks like I will be able to finish the car well before summer after all.

New gears

I finally got the new SSF pyörä gears with no syncros. Looks pretty cool but hopefully this is the last time I see them. I gave them to Alhomatic's gentle care and I wish soon have a fresh 091 in the garage. Ratios are 3.4 - 2.0 - 1.5 - 1.15 and final drive 4.57. Differential is Peloquin torsen type locking unit.

Head job pt.2

Nothing beats a good head job and this time it really was worth it. Flow was improved 10% all across the range and even more with the manifolds.

Xceldyne titanium valves this time. 49.6mm intake and 38.6mm exhaust

Before and after(yellow)

After an hour with flap sander everything fits like they should.

Interference issues

88mm crank and roller cam with quite big base circle didn't just drop right in.

Pieces of the puzzle

New plans

It's time for winter overhaul again. It's a pity I did not get to see the full potential of the old engine due to small setbacks, but it's time to move on. New engine will be 88x101.6 and quite a lot of parts will change. Let's see what we can build out of these.
