Big Black 2F Build

[Vae Victus]

Marshall,

Cost breakdown?

 

[Trollhole]

what did you do to the head? just standard grind or oversize/mill done?

Head was shaved .040. Used toyota valve stem seals. Checked all the spring rates.

Crank polished and balanced.

Hi Marshall,
What does .040 do to the compression? Also, the local machinist here in Santa Fe won't balance my crank because he said there is no benefit as Toyota cranks are almost perfectly balanced from the factory. Is this bollocks?

I like the gray, wish I would have done that. Looks good!

Man, that's just awesome. The folks at Toyoda Industries would be very proud of the fidelity.

I see it has the bent for the big distributor. How does that benefit the 2f?
