Mikey, going a bit slow at the mo :!:

Doing a bit of engine work at present, just got hold of some better (1045) barrels & Wiseco pistons, and got some .395 cams that need collected from Steve (Romeo) Debben :lol:

I have a decent rolling chassis now and have just got the V5 (R reg) back from the Misnistry of DVLA :shock:

Got most of the other stuff in boxes (Dyna S, new cam chain, rollers & guides) and a couple of exhausts to choose from :wink:

Then it'll be a wiring job, as the looms a bit knackered :cry:

Hope to get me RedZed on the road for Summer :twisted:

Well, actually been out in the garage this morning & finally split the engine :!:

All went smoothly, all the bolts came out OK :wink:

Got the crank out at last so I can fit the new cam chain

The old camcahin is the lower one and when next to eachother the stretch is visible...

Got me new stuff ready for installation..... cheers Jeff :wink:

....along with the Wiseco & barrels... cheers Chrisu...

...and the other SPECIAL stuff..... cheers Steve Romeo D.....

Finally got me crank welded...

The workshop Engineer at my work did it for me.... used a low alloy, hi-carbon rod or sumink :?:

Cost me a 4-pack of Stella Artois :twisted:

I've ground the weld back and cleaned it up. Fitted me new cam chain & with the help of me lad its back in the casing :lol:

Gonna get a windage tray from Steve 'Romeo' debben next week and hope to get cases back together by next weekend :wink:

Will be very interesting to see bhp figures on dyno with and with out Nos.
Where will you mount the bottle and where/ how are you going to fill it? Are you going to have a big bottle at home?

Did you have the crankshaft balanced after the welds were cleaned up?
