OST-019: Collaboration

Project D Wrote:For the obvious:
Blank plug for the distributor hole and the water outlet on the back of the head + the front cover (instead of the oil pump) and the dry sump of course.

What intrigue me more are the little holes in the cam lobes -> are they for keeping the lifter lubricated ?

Also both side of the engine seems to have been machined down.

those are holes in the cam lobes, if you look carefully you can see them in the intake cam as well. They are there for additional oiling. Concerning the machined down block, the transaxle unit uses the oil pan as the additional mounting points.

other changes... all Allen cam bolts, with no cam cover studs... the oil filter mount has been disabled... both holes are plugged, the oil filter now is fitted to the dry sump pump... rear external drain allows excess oil to drain back to the dry sump pump



A new common site in my head porting posts.... a 3 panel of one port straight down the throat....


the typical caveat... the bottom photo is showing only about 1/2 the light of the other 2 because anymore and the photo would have washed out.

The top photo is just the matched bowls and seats, the middle is with the majority of the material removed, and finally the bottom, nearly finished.
