So, I'm getting together all the bits to build a ‘warm’ 1584cc engine for SuperDry. The idea is that I build the engine and literally take one out, put one in and fire her up.
See the old engine and use the money to get a Freeway Flier gearbox. I’ve got a lot of the stuff and I’ve got an idea of what’s left to buy, BUT, what have I forgotten?
I need EVERYTHING to build an engine as I want to sell the engine in the bus now as a total turnkey unit minus the exhaust.
So, any advice from anyone?? I know there’s a few people on here who have built their own engines up from scratch.
What lubes do I need to build?
Stuff I have already
· Crankcase (needs to be stripped of all studs etc and media blasted)
· Crank
· Conrods
· Pistons & Barrels
· Scat C25 Cam and Wheel
· Bottom Pulley
· Flywheel
· 1.25/1 Rocker Assy
· Pertronix Dizzy and Ignition
· HD Oil Pump
· CB Los Banditos Heads
· Weber 34 ICT Carbs, manifolds and Linkage
· External Oil Cooler and Fan
· External Oil Filter
· Braided Oil Hosing
· CB Adjustable Pushrod tubes
· SCAT Rocker Covers
· Bugpack Breather Kit
· Clutch Plate
· Alt Stand
· Gaskets
· Autometer Oil Temp and Pressure Gauges with Senders
· Autometer Volt-meter
Stuff I still need to buy.
· HD Cam Followers
· Full set of Bearings
· Pushrods
· Tinware
· SCAT Rocker Cover Clips
· Crank case studs/bolts/nuts
· Electric fuel pump
· Fuel regulator
· Heat Exchangers
· Pertronix Coil
· Ign Leads
· Alternator
· Sump Drain Plug
· Billet Lead Clamps
· Oil Filler Cap
· Additional Dowels for Flywheel
