They say 18cc on the bottom. I reckon they are accralites

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

The Old ones

yep, although I think they are acurtally 10cc ones,

dished to 17.4cc

Thanks:)

Hi Joe

A few questions as i'm about to prep my 2nd block.

Are you fitting a full set of steel main caps or just the 4 bolt center..?

And are you line boring the block to once fitted.?

Si

I drill holes in everything..!

just the 4 bolt centre one, and yep, its line bored.

Cheers Joe

Same as mine then, I'm using turbo main caps for the other 2.

Thought that would be enough.

Si

I drill holes in everything..!

normally I wouldnrt botther with a 4 bolt main but I'm planing on spinning this lump fairly high,

Its pretty pricy to get the line boring done so be sure you actually need the 4 bolt main.

My thoughts to Joe,

I bought a posh crank and it came with a 4 bolt main cap. So I thought I'd go the whole hog, TurboDave sorted me out with correct bolts for it.

Just prepping the block at the mo then its off to the machine shop. Yet another expense.

I know it’s a time consuming job. How much they charge you..?

Si

I drill holes in everything..!

your looking at getting on for 200 notes.

Finally a productive day!

waterways plugged and "vent" holes added.



thrusts fettled, bearings plasigauged and crank in,



Rings gapped, Ptfe buttons fettled, rods fitted, and together.

looks grand.

What's the theory behind the vents in the water way plugs?

just to stop any air getting trapped,

I'm not blocking the head, so thought i may as well have a pin hole to beed any air through.

ah. I'm blocking both so won't bother.

to make the water cool no4 prpoerly,

nice build..

got to love Joe's crank and RODS :)

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Now thats a strong bottom end! Looking very nicee.

Thats bang tidy!

Seen this in the flesh today. Well smart!

It'll stand up to some abuse!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

it better!

Cams in....

Heres a comparison between the RE13T and the Phase 2,

Note the extra duration at lower lifts for despite the same or shorter seat timing & total lift, talking of lift note the lack of silly exhaust lift.

duration @ 50 thou is 235 deg, this is about 10 deg longer than the Ph2 exh and 25 ish longer than the Ph2 inlet!

Peak lift is 288 thou, LCA is 112 deg, lift on overlap 64 thou (all lobe figures)

joe , when you measured these ,what size increments did you use ?

and did you remember to take off the tappet clearance before starting to the 50 thou ? (eg ,say tappet clearance 15 thou at the valve , 12 thou at cam through a 1.24 rocker ,so your 50 thou duration runs from 62 thou to 62 thou off base circle..,, unless of course thats 50 thou at the valve , where then you'd end up with 52 thou lift at the lobe of the base eg 52 times 1.24 =64.48 .so 50 thou valve lift plus 14 thou tappet clearance .)

nice job by thw way .:)

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Fuck me, how far out of balance was that crank?

I seriously doubt it!

judging by this joe , you should be on for 400 bhp at 25 psi !!
