I used the original hollow dowels from the old rubber blocks pressed in the center to lock the whole assembly together.

While i was at it with the hammers i threw together a manual tensioner from an ally offcut, some nuts and a stainless bolt with the head machined round.

Just need to degree in the cams and that's the bulk of the motor done.

what is the allen head bolt in the bottom rear corner of the head for?

I removed all the original oil gallery blanking plugs when cleaning the engine after blasting and rather than replace them with more alloy bungs i tapped them M8 and fitted the allen bolts for future ease of cleaning.
There are three each side of the head and the one at the bottom rear is for the cross drilling between the inlet and exhaust cam feed.
There is no way to ensure that passage is clear without removing the bung.

Actually, flushing out the head oil galley is pretty easy and you don't need to drill out anything. By blocking off the stud holes with your fingers they can be flushed out with a hose after they are degreased.

Water will shoot out of the cam journal oil holes a good 4 feet.

Your engine looks GREAT! You do nice work!!

Thanks.

I've done hundreds of heads and wouldn't normally pull the bungs but this head had been stood a long time and there's always that nagging doubt that there's something still lurking in there, especially after blasting.

Degreed the cams in this afternoon.
They are std so set them at 110 deg.
Might play about with the lobe centers once i've done a few miles and seen how it runs

[IMG


While i had the degree disc on i took the opportunity to fit the ignition windings and rotor and set the static timing
(Aligned the yellow markings with the crank set at 10 deg btdc)
[IMG


Which gave me chance to test fit the stone guard.
The finished item will be painted black

Toying with the idea of putting in a few vents ???

Great work as always, i think the vents would look very trick. i like the kidney shape of them as well, looks more factory than just some holes.
