Delbert Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 So far I have sourced for my EU3 1800 k Head that is currently being flowed and ported with Big Valves.285h cams being fitted Mechanical tensioner Emerald M3 dK Power train Throttle bodies I'll be setting a soft rev limit at 7400 ish before a Scholar bottom end next year What other bits do I need? I assume a gasket set for the head, The original engine has done 15k miles so I assume Head bolts as well Is my shopping list nearly complete ??

GTD Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 At what point are forged pistons going to be necessary with that little lot 🤔 G for Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted February 7, 2006 Support Team Share Posted February 7, 2006 7400rpm will probably limit the power with BP285H cams - mine revs to 8000 with the power still climbing a bit. If you want the full RPM then forged pistons will be required but if you limit to 7400 you will probably be OK. If you are rebuilding the bottom end you will need the following: Big end shells Main bearing shells Thrust washers Bottom end gasket set new rod bolts Other possible needs are: Flywheel bolts Balance engine Airbox kit (if you want to keep noise down) Head gasket set Head bolt set Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 And if you do rebuild the bottom end with new bearings, you will want a new oil pump as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
