BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Maybe you guys should start a thread about Damp start and not hijack this thread for an engine builder. Yes you are right there were only 4 suggestions of engine builders at the very start of the post and then it went off topic. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 If you ask Darryl at Racetorations to build your engine, you can stop worrying about liner heights, gasket qualities, cam followers and oil seals. He carried out my rebuild and it has lasted over 25 years. He has an impressive workshop and he was a founder member of the Register. Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Maybe you guys should start a thread about Damp start and not hijack this thread for an engine builder. Our apologies Jack, you are quite correct, off topic from the best of intentions. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Horner Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Richard has yours been modified to run without the FO8's ? Pulling the engine out today so will be dropping it off somewhere next weekend all being good. Thanks for the recommendations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Richard has yours been modified to run without the FO8's ? You cant without some very major machining.. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 No. I still have the FO8 but larger pistons , 2138cc I think, standard cam and unleaded head. Go for the rear oil seal conversion. good luck Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Horner Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thank you all for your recommendations. My engine was collected last night. Just have to hope there are no nasty suprises waiting . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
