This was, many moons ago, Performance autoworks's cage, it was then sold to jon e, then i-tuned, now its mine :D

just need a harness bar (hopefully tramroad will be making this) and fitting (again i would like it to be tramroad but getting the maroon heap there is going to be a PITA )

and yes i know my garage is a mess :oops:

I love head!

Post by 4thgenphil » Sun Oct 28, 2012 11:19 pm

finally, a little engine stuff!

i wanted PA to do my head work, i had the cash, then the bloody roll cage came up! :roll:

i had a PNP'd head kicking around in the garage already (as you do) with supertech valve springs, retainers and flat faced valves (again as you do) the head wasnt a known quantity so i took it of to get refaced as it had a little damage on the face, turns out it had been skimmed before on the body lemonade, but now its flat! its had a fair bit of material taken off so i will have to check valve clearances, if they are goo then i should be getting some very strong compression :twisted:

pics, everyone loves pictures

all this and a set of crower stage 3 n/a cams :suicide:

thats it for today folks!

cheers
