Considering I purchased this motor to just put it in to get Marcia on the road. I have wanted to tickle it and get that little bit more out of it.

Out of the stock I have of 202 heads I gave one to GR to give it a little bit of a tickle. Due to cost i asked him not to go to far but I'm very happy with the result

The wifes daily drive 1152 has GRs RE13 so when he told me he was makeing something with a little bit more, I just had to have it. This will make it just that little bit more interesting

and to link the 2 together I was just going to go with Isky or lightened Followers. GR said bring in your old Followers I can make them better than New. :shock:
To match the new Cam the Followers have been Chilled to Rockwell C 63 to 65 Hardness. They have been reground to the face with a different radius to the ones you can buy today. New followers can differ in hardens from 48-55 and the original old followers back in the 60s were all about 60 Rockwell C. You will also notice the flat on the side this is to keep oil on the followers while they spin. The top V8 guys also mode is to put a grove in the lifters wall which does the same thing

Now with the breathing worked out it time to look at the internals and block

well had to have a look at the crank and bearings. It was 10/30 and it look like its been run with out oil at some stage as the rod bearings are down to the copper and the crank is heavily scored. :roll: so its knackered.

So luckily for me I have a 1098 crank. Its 20/20, round, No cracks and good enought to just put in 8) Block will have to be bored & honed to +40 New Pistons & Rings, bearings, bolts. Rods will get straightened and balanced and the crank will be balanced with a lightened flywheel, back plate and clutch.

Thanks to Kev for coming over and checking and his advise and a bit of work hes about to do for me :wink:

It'll get a new set of 1098 Hypatec +.040 pistons to go with the 1098 crank.
Why? Coz I've got some spare... :lol:
"there ain't no replacement for displacement" (old yankee proverb)
We could go mad and bore the arse out of it, but this is a budget build. :wink:
