  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Jim (posplayr) painted my tank and side covers. It looks great and will be the ultimate sleeper after I install the 1230 motor.
This is gonna be great!
Also see the nice Christmas preasant also from Jim. Hint, it's made of rubber

HH,
Yea I know I'm a little kinky :); I think it is from the paint fumes :rolleyes:.

We need to chip in an make sure Bill has a lifetime supply of wax and rags to keep that baby nice.

Yeah, welding fumes do the same thing too.

If you want to help Bill, just make sure he has a big supply of fresh pistons and MLS gaskets, on the ready.:p

Hope you both survived the New Year celebrations OK!!

Here are some pics of Kris putting his turbo 1327 back together after having the crank rebuilt.

You guys are allowed WAY too much fun. It makes me sick, in a green, rather longing sort of way. :D

Nice job gentleman!
 
Don't do it Bill. Those pistons are too pretty to cover in carbon. :) Good luck with this one.

Have you weighed your pistons? I see the rods on the 1150 crank are colour coded differently. Probably vary in weight from the factory so it may be a reason for the customary vibration of most of the 1150 engines.

No I didn't weigh the pistons.

First time you saw 1150 crank porn Ian?;)
How's the b-day going?

Yeah 1150 crank porn is ok, but I'm not planning on pulling mine down anytime soon. The BD went great thanks. You guys are still a day behind us then?

With CNC machined pistons, there's very little weight difference. That's probably why the big bore engines vibrate more than stock, when matched up to odd weighted rods. The factory probably matches the piston weights to the rod weights to maintain balance.
