Overhead Cams

[Wally]

Its been done with an authentic tuning part (heads) made many years ago by Ludwig Apfelbeck. Two inlet valves, one exhaust valve, twin spark plugs.

I took a picture of one of the remaining heads (they are one head per cylinder) and it is in the gallery. That head hasn't had all the machine work done to it BTW, but you get the picture.

A project with those heads is in the making, but it will take at least one or two years before it will be completed...

Greetings,

Lets see if I can post a pic of one of Roberto's heads on the flow bench here.

Sorry its only eye candy

due to be stripped down for inspection this week hopefully, so I'll give you an update on how its held up.

Just for the record
104mm barrels 944 pistons ceramic coated crowns, inlet and exhaust ports.
Currently puts out 350bhp, has done at least 10k miles this year.
runs 11.2 on slicks 11.4 on treads 120ish terminal
heads havent leaked at all this year.Running 12lbs of boost and 6.sumthin':1 comp ratio,i.e. the most we could get,as we're not running domed pistons.
stock crank not c/w, stock rods and runs 3 camshafts

The only recurring fault this season is broken rockers after burnouts,(seems the rev limiter isn't quick enough to catch up. (set at 7500 rpm)

Due to be painted polar silver and rewired, with the k,jet in the bin and replaced with Motec full engine management and also running an intake plenum.

I want it...


How well does the engine fit into your car. How wide is it, approx...

[BOBTAIL]

Just a smidge wider than t4, mods required on the back panel edges to clear the cam pulleys

[Da1Duc]

Do you have any that are larger?

I am not looking to copy it, just want a better idea of what you did.
