In January I dropped the engine and trans so I could change the gearset in my trans at Dr. Evil's clinic at Scottie's in Feb. Since I had the engine out too, why not do a little refreshing. java script:emoticon(':)','smid_4')
Now with 86mm JE pistons and cylinders, Solex cams, 74 heads (big valves) reworked by Anchor Atlantic, I'm anxious to get it back on the road. I did the trans in 1 day but the engine has taken 8 months! We need an 'engine clinic' like Mike's trans clinics. Rob  |

Nice. I have JE's coming this week for my 2.7 build. I did not know they do cylinders. Anxcious to hear how you like the cams. I have not ordered anything from the cylinders up yet.
I bet you are going to love that combination. Looks really good. John |

Getting closer. I am freshening my 914/6 engine and I am a big fan of Stomski Racings tools. I have Solex cams with a intake valve overlap between 4.2-4.6mm but recommended set to 4.3. Wayne Dempsey's book is a must have.

They are not spring loaded tensioners. They are mechanical. Some use them for racing but Stomski Racing sells them as a tool for use during cam timing setup. Now that I have the cams timed I will remove them and put in the hydraulic ones.

John I probably should have been more clear. I was there days before tearing everything down and cleaning everything. I was also helping with doing them, so it was really not that he did them in just a day. I'm not your average customer there. Any wait that people have with him is worth it for the quality and price you get from him. |
