    The process took me and my buddy Paul almost two days but the results were amazing and now I can carry on getting the car finished in order to make a profit and continue the journey to reaching that Porsche.

    Whats the bores oval and taper.
    Whats your wall clearance
    Whats your trust clearance
    Whats your mains and rod bearing clearances.
    What about valve shimming..
    So much not done or checked.. all these details are ignored, which makes the difference in power and reliability and life span.

      @adambutler48  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Bang on!
      Turns out it was a bad earth on the started! But the issue was from under the fuse box not the usual spot 🤯🤯

  • @markmawson1
    @markmawson1 Před 5 měsíci

    I looked like it's the first rebuild you have done becauewhen you were torquing the head bolts they didn't look like 90° turns, don't be surprised you end up with head gasket issues

    • @adambutler48
      @adambutler48  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Hey, thanks for watching! Yes it was the first build. I’m sure we mentioned that? And we did use the correct tightening procedure with torque and then degree tightening, apologies I didn’t do a great job of explaining or showing that in the video. Really appreciate the feedback though 👌🏻🏎️🏎️

    Why would you not get the upgraded stem seals that have a built on washer to keep them seated

    • @adambutler48
      @adambutler48  Před 5 měsíci

      The stem seals that we used were the ones that came in the rebuild kit straight from Nevlock Performance. If I had bought everything individually then I probably would have done so!
