Whats' in your head?

My head at Red's mate Ollie, damaged plug holes cut back and refilled solid..awaiting machining for plug holes and new seats .Moving along..

Isn't it incredible what marvels can come out of what others may view as throwaways. Aren't we lucky!

 

[paulincayman]

You can apply that statement to the whole dammed basket case. But I'm beyond the point of no return ay this point.
And yes we are very lucky to have the specialists out there who keep is on the road
Totally irrational of course.

With a bit more weld, you won't need to re-drill the spark plug holes. It'll have enough compression to run on Diesel.

Twin plugs while you're at it!

cheers

Do you need to harden the head after all that weld, this was discussed a few years ago.

 

[Sir Sidney Ruffdiamond]

Twin or more swirl combustion chamber !

 

[paulincayman]

Vince,
I didn't hear hardening being mentioned, but it is being ceracoated.

 

[Laverdalothar]

Holy sh*t, that's a lot of welding! Cross my fingers all turns out to go well and it's safeable. will need a lot of machining now though... Great you invest the time and money to safe it!

 

[paulincayman]

Thank goodness for the skills of Red and Ollie, and all the remaining specialistsout there.

 

[CLEMTOG]

thank the gods that it doesn't cast cast in skulls, the question of hardening (tempering) is a good one though,
reminds me of the K series Leyland engine, the local engine reconditioner reckons that the K series paid the mortgage on his house, all by itself. the vast majority of head repairs on that engine were "temporary" because tempering did not take place.

genuine comment, not an intended pun

Im staking my trust in Red's capable hands..he builds racers after all.

 

[piranha-bro2]

Reckon he's done one or two triple heads over the years!
