Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Few more bits! New strut brace, Made the brackets out of 12mm billet angle. Machined the ends for the bar out of solid bar. I machined the ends off the bolts too so there was nothing sticking out! Trimmed the brackets and test fitted the ends Bar welded in and the catch tank finished and fitted, just need to sort the pipes now and paint the brace brackets.

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well this is what happend! I’d been out in the SR for probably the first time in 6 months or so all was good till I was 1/2 mile from home, I gave it a boot full nice pop between gears as it does the booom It started missing! I got it home and got the compression tester out! All was spot on apart from numer 3, number 3 was showing 0! For it to have 0 I was expecting the worst! So it sat for probably 3 months without being touched, anyway I eventually pulled the head off and found nothing! Everything looked as it should be except the carbon build up, so I stripped the head down and all I could fined there was carbon deposits on the vavle face and seat. So I took the head to work and put it in the parts wash we have, unknown to me someone had filled it with concrete cleaner! So that was the end of the head it wrecked all the cam carrier faceses and anything that should have been a machined face! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 So out came a spare head! It got the same treatment as the last one a bit of a port and polish, I even made a tool for holding it in the vice so I could adjust it. This head had a very badly corroded exhaust port side so! I made a tilting table to go on the mill so I could skim it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 I also made a large flycutter to skim it with! The result I was happy with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Anther thing that has changed is my workshop too! I have replaced the mill with a much bigger one! still not quite big enough to skim the head face tho but it will do most of it. I have also got a new small lathe for doing the smaller pieces on, I've got a new website http://www.rchengineering.co.uk/ a facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/rchengineering/ and hopefully soon a traders section on here offering one off parts and services!

maddox710 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Awesome kit Rob. Pretty please make roll centre kits! Pretty sure I could patch together a bump steer stuff easy enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Cheers mate, they are something I have looked into but not sure the best way to go about it yet as for best results you need to actually move the ball joint down not just the bottom arm I can make the spacers no problem but how much of a difference that would make Im not sure!

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Got some more bits done! Made a new plate for the coil packs to mount on as someone seems to have stolen my last design , Ive made some nice spiked nuts and bolts too for the rocker cover and coils. The head is all built back up and the cruise cams shimmed to suite the fresh head! More updates to come soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
