It's all completely standard apart from new pistons as my old ones were out of tolerance.
Nothing special or trick, just set and built correctly.
Crank/rods/piston/flywheel were all balanced professionally, runs as smooth as silk.
As soon as I have the dyno' print outs I'll post these also.
Will probably show another 5-8BHP with the 4-1 manifold.
From memory, I think roughly squashed them to fit by hand, flatten the "S" alot first, it's a bitch, but you just gotta man up.
I did it all off car then screwed into place.
What does everyone use to stop the cabin/engine bay heat soak?
I've seen these;

Any other "cheap" recommendations?

Crank is to be balanced etc, pistons were knackered!
Will be Dyno'd before installation.

Checking alignment tonight before I rebuild my engine, looks like the gear linkage (Citroen) which passes down the left side of the engine clashes with the sump of the 912, anyone got any experience of this?
I'm currently rebuilding/refurbing my carbs.
They are Spec9 DHLA45 (Engine is 912NA(SC)).
However, I have just checked the idle jets, one is 45 the other 60?
Should they be different? hmmmmm?
Does anyone have a list of "ALL" the correct standard jets?
Got my engine stripped and blasted, so it all looks reasonably good Aluminium.
Should I just leave like this or is it recomended that the block should be painted?
