  1. thought I hade a case of deja vu then looked a page back :D

    sleve install could be anywere from 800 to 1200 at a guess. pick carfully who you get to do it tho.

    if not done correctly can lead to dramas.

    as in later on the sleve could drop and then youll never get a headgasket to seal.

    Since its so hard to find 2.2 CDBs I wondered about sleeving my 2.0 CDB and boring to 98mm to make a 2.35L?

    I see darton makes a kit that comes at 97mm but can be bored out to 100mm

    this is what ive done . hopfully picking it up today .

    depending on you contacts and what you want to do with the engine putting bore supports in a open deck could be a possibility.

    sleeveing can get expencive.

  3. why do you want a phase 2 intake mani.

    the v1/2 intakes flow great

    I was looking at using adapters also but then for the same reasons as tony ive stuck with a early intake and will change it as I need.

    there are flow specs on the net somwhere and the early v1/2 flows just as good as the expensive aftermarket units

  4. ive done simlar . put darton sleves in a 2l cdb to suit 98mm pistons.

    but sleves shouldn\'t drop if machined and installed correctly. they shouldn\'t be able to drop at all

    Very nice. ;D

    Is that with a Diamond Bit, then Sand Wheel?

    I couldnt tell ya got some guy that previously worked at kelford cams to do them. he said he didnt make much $$ on the job, quoted me $600 or around that amount to do them and spent 3 straight days on them :D

    yea nick after reading that thread he said there was no plating and that it was just polished.

    seams like a waste to me .... cleaning brought mine up pretty good as ya can see and if you ran e85 it would burn clean anyway.

    I remember reading somthing about surfaces being ultra smooth can be a bad thing also .... bugged if I know

    I know of a guy down here in chch who supplies a lot of people but prob not much help if you\'re in Auckland. Could try contacting a local motorsport car club up there to see if they could point you in the right direction rather than asking around workshops?

    Shipping\'s no problem. Im just after the tubes pre-bent and scolloped ready to weld in, then I will take care of the rest.

    There not prepped to just weld in . That needs to be done when its being put it in the car .

    well that\'s if its the same guy in chch i got mine off.

    I don\'t think you can get ready to weld kits and if you could i wouldn\'t want one. There is to many variables to allow for.

  7. just after some more attention would be my guess.

    without evidence ill trust my eyes

    only place flow would be effected is were the manifold meets the head. because of the extra material at top.

    which I recken would make bugger all difference on a bench.

  8. I highly doubt you have unless you had a 6ft pole trying to pry the motor off .

    Just when you come to put the engine back in make sure the thrust bearing is on the fork, not cliped into the clutch or youll jave to pull the engine off the box again.

    If that does happen you will rage quit :D

    I just put my rego on hold that was a month or two out and wasn\'t charged?

    they have a grace period of either 30 or 60 days.

    least thats what the woman said on the phone and my other car that had to go on hold was a 1969 which was about to lapse :o but no charge.

    was getting worried id have a big bill for 5 cars haha
