looking good I'm picking my motor that i just brought with the bigport stuff on it tomorrow then taking it down to aust jap motor for the guy to have a good look at it and fix it right up so its like brand new the come home and paint it all out i hope then put it all back together.. whats left for you to do?....

october the 6th i think

ok quick update i brought a motor witch had a bigport head and manifold on it for $75.00 so I'm happy I'm going to give it a reco and what ever needs fixing on it to be fixed and I'm going to give it a face and then wack it on. car: ive striped it right out trying to get it light buy trimming back stuff taking out what ever it unneccereay off and then paint it. I'm going to order new panals soon. pics up in the next day or so

there should be a hook on the block near 4th cylinder on the dizzy side and there should be one on the head at the frount on the manifold side

cool so its bigport

hey is this a bigport head the number is 24010 21B any help will be appreciated

the tools that you will need are a spanner set, socket set, screw driver, scraper, torque wrench and feeler gaugers 1) is to undo your header bolts 2) undo your fuel line 3) take you dizzy out so when you lift it off you don't damage it 4) take push rods out 5) undo head bolts 6) make sure everything to the head and manifold are off 7) take it off 8) scrap off old gasket and clean it up 9) put new gasket on and if you want to use the glue stuff put it on 10) put the head back on and torque it up to setting on the packet 11) put the push rods back in and do the clearences 20thou and 30thou (inlet) (exhaust) 12) put dizzy in 13) put fule line on to the carbie 14) bolt on your header

good work coming along

don't sell it. my bottom end cost me around $400 so far bored out honed new bearings new pistons ect and the top end will cost me about another 300 just rebuild your motor that my say anywhay but i don't know what your wallet is like so i can't really say. but you should keep it and just park it like Budowski said and wait a bit and get a money tin and save up like me max

yea your probley right.. it stuff you around when you have different pumps you pick out the best one and it doesnt fit

time for an update: well to do i cleand up the oil pump and cheaked the gaps and stuff it was all good so i put it in and cleand the rear main seal thingy put the seal in ans put it on and then put the sump on so now the bottom end is done now just after a bigport head asap

i don't have a clue all i know is that i have 3 3k motors striped and that there are two different oil pick up and ones fatter than the other.. plus i have never striped a 4k... sorry

hey these are for people that don't know about them. i am building a 3k motor and got up to putting in the oil pick up looked for the best one then cleaned it up and went to put it in but didnt fit and i was like what the f##k look at it and worked out to big and i was pissed so i got the different one and it fitted and worked out ones fatter than the other. here are some pics

Just incase you want your cam ground i got mine done by Chris at C and M Engines at Smithfield. Cost was only $135 and it only took 2 days for him to do it. Cheers Matthew hey i went to go to this guy i got recommened by aus jap motors but i can't find him where abouts is he on charolet street cheers max
