I was playing with some of the motor parts I had laying around, specifically heads and valve train parts. Found some really interesting stuff, but I'm going to keep it quiet for now.

You got someone you can recommend cylinder head work?

I've done extrude hone and gotten one to flow 248 w/ stock diameter valves. I'm pretty sure with throat hogging for larger valves, then light bowl/blend work, then extrude hone, oversized valves and a good 3 or 5 angle valve job, I bet flow would come in around 280-290cfm. With 12-13:1 compression and some 300* camshafts, it would be a fun NA motor.

I'm pretty sure this could make the SR20DE and VE just about obsolete.

anyone got a recommendation for getting a crankshaft knife edged? All it needs is some **slight** clearance work on the counterweights, but a knife edge would definitely do it. I drove all over Georgia and once I had to explain what I was working on, everyone punked out. That and everyone was busy putting together high dollar race motors and didn't want my odd ball chump change project tying up the machinery.

I have no problem putting the crankshaft in the mail....... I also would like to find a shop that would do these a few at a time.

Castillo Cranks , their contact info is at the end of one of the Moto IQ builds...i will see if i can find it

defiantly contact these guys if you have a special need or odd ball project!!! It's so nice to hear, "yeah, we can do that."

update on the slow slow progress....

Now building a high compression NA motor too.

Got the custom flywheels from JWT, one more part out of the way.

still waiting on the crankshafts.............. slightly pissed

zzzzzz...... still waiting on crankshafts......... 2 of them..........

hopefully the cylinderheads don't take as long.........

How long has it been since you sent them out?

I don't remember.....maybe June 2011, maybe earlier

if you end up in Cali, there will be more shop that can do the job than you'll know what to do with.


One of the things I don't like about not dealing locally........

still waiting......... tired of calling............ WTF

Still waiting......

here comes 9000 rpm!

Still waiting........ Still supposed to go out everytime we call the next day....... I cannot recommend doing business them.

I will definitely be finding a local shop to do these.

Friend pissed, project dead in the water.
