This is just starting I already have a few images on the other Jim k thread, but I am starting a new one showing all my misinformed and misguided interpretation of the book, along with a few ideas I picked up on the Japanese site as well.
The plan, 46mm BMW goodies, 45mm dcoe152(spain) and a broom handle and some drywall nails for the 'hot' cams!
Photo 1 shows the head after cleaning and it looks like I might be starting this thread prematurely as it has some severe water damage to the 3 and 4 intake bowl. I have another head that may be used if this damage turns out to be too deep to grind out, OR if a majority of the pits come out, what say you regarding a little JB weld to smooth it out?
This being as it were, I started with the manifold which I think is the easy way to go if you have never done this before as the mounts tell you exactly where to start. I was kind of unsure of the starting points noted in the book for the head itself.- do you start on the floor, or the top of the port or center.. any way, I think this is the way to be %100 sure of your locations.
I mounted the mounts and the carbs and there you go.. actually kind of off center to the left is where everything landed, so that is where I started.
Photo 3 shows how much you really got to remove and man, its alot!
The manifold actually gets kind of thin around the back recess for the carb mount bolts and its 'feels' like it isnt going to be any thicker the 3/16" toward the front , couple that with the fact that the carbs tend to be a little offset from the ports and you can see this **** is not joke. I going to carry on and see what happens.
