engine work on loyale continues

[hops]

Hey guys,

 

I've finally got my act together and I'm back on the loyale project.

 

I got new .5 over pistons - installed

delta cams - getting ready to be installed

 

I got the heads slightly modified - 3 angle valve job and ported

 

I'm hoping to be able to put the rebuilt engine into the car by next weekend.

 

I'm also planning on getting a new clutch, new front cv's and new brakes.

Cool! How's everything else? Been awhile since I saw you lurking around.

Klaus,

 

Did you rebore the cylinders yourself or have someone else do the job? Just curious. If you did it yourself, maybe you could give some pointers to someone else thinking of doing that. If you had someone else do it, how much did they charge for each side? Thanks, Rick

i cant wait to see dyno of this.

 

RickOregon,

why would you want to do that yourself? It takes a very stout machine to do so, you just cant stick it in a bridgeport with a boring bar.

Qman,

 

I've been around, but somewhat out of the loop.

 

Rick,

 

I had the cylinders bored out by a real good machine shop. Over the years the same guy bored out at least 10 cylinders for me. He charged me $50 per side, total of $100. Erik is right, in order to get the job done right you need a boring bar and match the pistons to the jugs.
