I'm going to start a machine shop - free mods 4 beyonders

Please note that as present my tools will only be limited to a grinder, but others seem to make out okay with limited tools.

See, that's what happens when you use a angle grinder to cut a hole in your hood for a scope!

That would raise compression, this lowers it.

There are reasons to do either one, you just need to learn more.

I always get a kick out of the totally oblivious posters like Jeremiah, this is an automotive forum, shouldn't you at least know the slightest thing about cars/engines to be a member? :nut:


guys gotta finish it a little nicer with a flap wheel, I see some burrs that might cause detonation :rofl:

I believe syritis meant removing material from the combustion chamber, not the deck...

this, I saw it on one of the power block shows on spike tv. i thought it was pretty ingenious how they measured the displacement of the chamber in the head.

I never claimed to be new to cars, just piston motors.
have you met my gallery? (link) (http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?s=&threadid=284068) it's a brief over view of my newest creation.

but if there is enough material on the piston and the crank shaft was rebalanced to match would this be a better alternative then grinding out the head? less weight could let you rev higher well at least in the world of rotaries.

[89s1]

I wasn't talking about you.... Notice how I even mentioned the exact users name? :nut:

Just to let you guys know, I just stocked up on some JB weld, so now I can also do block repairs. For example; dremel the area smooth, then build up a wall of JB weld :thumbsup:

Depends - do I have to go down to home depot to buy square tubing or will you supply?

[moka989]

install my intercooler

[bourge73]

yes please do, but you are only allowed to use the square tubing (like the ^^) for the piping...

[methodicreign]

I can tell your not a quality shop, for I see no duct tape yet, we all know that defines the best of the best.

Funny this comes up, I remember reading an article in Hot Rod about some drag racers in the 60's patching a hole in the block of their motor with cardboard and duct tape. Of course it didn't last, but it was part of a really good story.

I've got pdf copies of the article in two parts, but I can't find it online. I can email them to someone who can post them here if anyone wants. If not, then fuck me I guess, but here's the part of the article I was talking about, from the November 1998 issue of Hot Rod.


The biggest test of Sorokin’s mettle transpired during the ‘65 UDRA meet at Fontana. During a semifinal heat, the boys had blown the side out of the block. It was the only bullet in their inventory, and until that moment, “it lived like Methuselah,” according to Sorokin. But rather than pack it in, our heroes improvised. They turned the car on its side, jammed the piston all the way to the top of the bore, removed the connecting rod, taped the crank journal and wrapped it with a hose clamp, taped cardboard (!) over the gouge on the inside of the block to keep it from hemorrhaging oil and threw the pan back on. For the half-dead 392’s swan song, they dosed the remaining cylinders on 99 percent, fired it up, and Sork staged the discordant, vibrating, wounded machine like nothing was out of the ordinary. Despite the frenzied thrash, Sorokin expertly cut a gatejob that was sharp as a switchblade, and he was scarfing up asphalt in a discombobulatory pell-mell fashion until the backfiring mill detonated and went kablooey at the top end. They lost the match, but won the respect of the entire drag racing community with that gonzo, anarchic attempt to win a $1,000 purse. Sorokin got more ink than the event winner….

“When we got done with one of those deals, Mike would just look at you like, ‘Is it time to go?’ and he’d hop right in knowing full well that the whole side of the motor is made out of cardboard and silver tape. There was a hose clamp around the crank where a rod used to be,” Jobe concludes. “He didn’t give a s--t. ‘Oh yeah, let’s go.’ He loved it.”

you sir are a fucking hero haha!

never a dull moment with your postings! :rofl:

[toastgremlin]

I have an off-brand Dremel and a box of pencil erasers, can I help you lap valve seats?
