    I have already written a few posts about my modifications. What is of interest to you ? I still have an adjustable camshaft gear to adjust the camshaft on the engine. There is also the matching aluminum housing with removable cover to adjust the timing without opening the engine. Maybe a...

    Modern Hydraulic Clutch slave

    Yes, there is a aluminum spacer between the slave cylinder and the pressure plate. This can be seen in the first two pictures. If necessary, I can send you a drawing as a PDF, but the height should be adapted to your clutch.

    New School Custom Pistons

    I found the drawing on paper immediately. The PDF file should be on my other PC. I will look t here tomorrow. But back to my question. What do you do in the States to tune the engines ? Is 160 - 170 HP really possible ? Even with big valves, CNC machined Cc , Race Cam , machined ports...
