[QUOTE="ZedBed, post: 546853, member: 8054"] Mine and jonboy's started out life the same by the same respected builder, around the same time, but I upped the oomph on mine with bigger valve heads, slightly bigger B&P's and the Dells. This made an enormous difference to the engine which I'd estimate would have been struggling to register 90HP on the rollers before, and which is why I originally started out rebuilding it. Once I started I found almost 4mm of deck height and hemi'd heads that made a CR of less than 7:1, the C35 cam shaft had "disppeared" along with it's gear, followers and a clearanced pump. The oil thrower was buckled, the oil pickup at a rakish angle providing zero windage with it's inlet hard up against the gauze filter almost blocking it. Hmm. That's when I went off professional builders for a minute, licked my wounds and spent a few months carefully building it back up again myself with new parts and endless advice from the marvellously helpful Robert Parry who has restored my faith enough to get him build the next one for me. Now I have that sorted out I have an itch that needs scratching. That itch is to build the biggest possible engine in a raised roof race case and you know how it is - once an idea catches hold it has to be done. :) [/QUOTE]
