engine rebuilt

Update...some parts arrived today.. the order from skidim with all the gaskets....
I did some work on the exhaust manifolds... will post pics soon when i finish them...

I think there's a chart on the torque/HP open discussion that sort of covers your rebuild.

just checked it and it puts you around 330hp at 5000rpms.
Keep in mind HP ratings are taken at wot, what you want to check also is the torque curve wich is in my opinion is key for propeller selection for specific applications.

I think Tristate's price is well worth it since youre upgrading the cam.

You *should* be ok with motorbox clearance. My Stealth intake is roughly an inch taller than the Performer, and with a 2" arrestor I just barely squeeze it in.

Seb, where did you end up buying the heads from? Hopefully you went with Tristate- the advantage to theirs is the upgraded valvesprings that you need with the new cam.

Whether you fit under the motorbox or not depends on 2 things- how tall the intake manifold is and which flame arrestor you have. Both of those are different on your set up than mine, so my guess wont help you much.

All stuff is in process.... cam is in the break in adn ready to ship next week. summit order shipped, head are in the build up porcess...
Some doubts, will the cam work with any timing set or should i get the cam resaerch timing set (pricey)

Heads better be excellent and word the extra money..wonder whats the diference between this ones and the ones from clear water or on ebay reburshed ones... ....

Alan...you give million dollar advice, stay close to stock, your not building a race boat that will break the three digit mark, build it in mind with the torque curve and economy...and most important of all reliability.....the hotter it is the more you work on it, and that comes from going through that learning curve. stock over .030 pistons, GT stuff and you will have a reliable boat....unless you get a chevy they there will be no worries. lol
sorry Alan, I really have grown fond of these little boy blues, its all in fun

What CR are you running Alan? In my haste to install my heads I forgot to check my CR. Since the new heads are the same cc as the old,I don't expect any trouble. I thought you'd have to bring your piston to tdc and cc the cylinder to get the figures to plug into the forumla.

Alan

I agree with you gas its fine here but I don´t want to mess things up so I figure my big upgrade will come out from the head+cam+intake upgrade..I´m not looking on higher comp engine to gain more hp... I want something reliable and bullet proof..and that possible to run it with any kind of pump fuel and not worried about getting premium....
As for engine kit is this one from summit

cam from cam research cr266
intake edl2181 and the heads...
rebuilt kit

I guess that they are from some special material ss or hardened steel, not the regurlar washer? I wouldn`t like this washer to corrode in there...

got it, im sure there is a post somewhere,
when you get the damper put it up to the Flywheel and you will be able to see the spacing needed, it does not sit flush

nop..
they use additives to replace it...
i'll check the pump cam set

dished are the same as the ones I took out.. here we get unleaded regula in the 87-90 oct range, special in the 94-95 range and premiun on the 97-100 ron...depending the brand...

thats what i'll do...I can get the money back by selling the automotives one i won't be using

Apparentley some of the cylender were scuffed so machin recomends to go .30, no need to turn the crank though.
so I´ll go with a set kit with .030 on pistons and rings and standard on the rest
So far here is my part list

just spoke to bettigas shop.. I should take mine as a sample to see what thay got similar here.. but price are in the range of 450-500 pesos...(120-135 us)and the pcm damper with the ccf discount and after tax I estimate for 150.. I´ll stick to pcm for that difference...
