Hmm, not getting anything other than Photobucket. Keeps just showing a blank spot where a picture or something should be?

Working on fuel pump mounts.

Whittled these rings out this evening.*

Ford truck outside the tank pump.

Now to find a place to put it.

Never could find my degree wheel.

Printed a picture of a degree wheel and glued it to a piece of metal yesterday.*

Checked the cam today and it is almost 3 degrees advanced. Wow! All my eagle cams were close to spec, but not this engle. If ya gonna run an engle better check lobe center.

I guess I am gonna be slotting the holes in the cam gear now.

Yeah I checked it several times and at different amounts of lift. Got 2.5 to 3 advanced every time.

I don't have an adjustable gear. I suppose I am gonna turn mine into one though. I don't wanna run it advanced. Want it at the advertised 108.
 
Making some add on fins for the heads.

Any extra cooling is a plus.

Also wanting to disguise the engine. A lot if folks don't know what it is. Would like to fool a few more.

I made these exhaust flange fin rings a while back.

An old school mototorcycle look.

Any other ideas to make it appear different/less identifiable?
 
I did do that. I want to vent different and I drilled holes in those.

I searched and searched for something really different for covers. Did find a set of old AeroVee *airplane covers and tryed to get them. But they sold for way too much money.

In the end I got another set of cheap no name covers.

But i sure thought it would be neeto for someone to say "I dunno, look that name up" and come up with an airplane site......lol....still makes me giggle.

There they are.

I looked at these for a long time.

Different but I don't want to be identified as that either. The 4 cam covers fit.

:D That is the same set I purchased a couple of months ago man. Look pretty good. Now, before explaining one thing I just want to say

I did get "Fire In The Hole" Saturday!!! Run the cam in, drained the oil, changed filter, and took that puppy for a quick scoot yesterday.........And all thanks to you my friend for shipping them awesome rockers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Came up behind a pickup doing about 50 on the highway. Waited until I had the opening and hammered it, went around the pickup, looked down and was doing a hundred.....:laugh:

10 fold better than the original 1641 that was in it.

Now on the subject of them valve covers; I found that at least 2 of the bolts bottomed out on the top of the rocker studs and didn't tighten down enough, of course causing an oil leak. Be sure to check the length of the bolts Rex. I ended up cutting about .030 off the ends of the bolts which seemed to be plenty. Didn't crush the included O'ring and still sealed up good.
 
Stinger,
Good news! !! Happy for ya.
At least one of us is back in the wind.

I wonder how peppy the fk10 will be.....
The lobe lift is fairly low. That is why I had to change to 1.4 rockers.


FuzzyWuzHe.
It may be.... or maybe a motoguzzi. Don't know can't be sure, a vw ain't supposed to be in front like that.
 
Yeah....I looked at a lot of stuff like that on the samba classifieds. Maybe not that specific one. They wanted in the 200 dollar range for anything unusual. Those porch *covers up there were 200 also. I got the cheap bolt ons, unless something shows up on ebay, then they are gonna be it.

I dunno if I wanna put snu snu on a cover. Watch the vid in my other thread to see where that name came from.

Some of the mock up.

Just had to see what it is looking like.

A few know my name ... they might get the tag on the filter lid. Still not confident about it. Was gonna be just SupeRex.

Not much.

Has been a lot of work lately.

I did the fins and temp sensor mount for the other head.

Drilled and tapped a couple fitting holes for the idle air.

Worked late yesterday.
Today was a a hang out with the kids day.
Nothing done with the trike.
Gotta pick another detail and focus on it for a while.
 
So I am working on details.

Next up is idle air. I have the big motorcycle throttle bodies and a Ford Mustang air valve. I have the controller built and can pwm the air valve. So now working up just how to hook a Ford air valve to motorcycle throttle bodies on a vw engine.

Looking at the bodies and wondering why they have no adjustments for idle air.

Then start wondering what this boss is ....

20150528_181114_zpsmuwoqlof.jpg

So....

Why not drill a hole in it?

20150528_181942_zpskn1vdu9u.jpg

Thread it.

20150528_182207_zps3o91clza.jpg

Put a screw in it and hive it a pull.

20150528_182225_zps0jrt4om3.jpg

Guess what's in there?

An idle air adjustment needle.

Dang things where not meant to be adjusted on. Non serviceable, or so they thought. They put a pressed in plug over the screw to stop me.....lol

20150528_181653_zpsbt0ghxvo.jpg

Pulled all 4.

Drilled and tapped 2 of the ports for tubing fittings.

Going to have tubing from the ford air valve into each throttle body. And it is adjustable.

So whatcha mean?

Think I am over doing it a bit?

You do know my scooter?

Trying to up the hp from around 160 to near 200.
