Cleaning the block lots and lots >















MD109259 were tapped out from above the mains.
And tapped back in via the main cap. I was thinking I needed to freeze them to make them fit, but went in relatively easy









< small pin a used to tap the oil jet in with.
The OLD oil jets definitely felt different, the check ball inside, i was pressing it with some TIG wire

















Had to measure from main cap to the block deck, I came up with 200.92mm, I have no idea how much which removed when we got it decked.

Cleaning everything to bolt in the crank and rods
Main caps - 65ftlbs (3 step torque seq)
Rod Caps - stretch 0.0055"





Oil clearance 0.05/0.038mm

RColt Tire Options - RComps - Racing Compounds




Trying to work out where do I start on the tire department, I want to go bigger.

Currently on the Z221, and they been going decent. Set a PB on them.
Running 215/45 and 225/45

Due to clearance issues, rolling diameter and width limitations, I have to be careful and always check these











Fitting the 215s on the fronts posed a few problems. I run a 20 spacer to push the track out. /rcolt-with-rays-57c-gram-lights-17x75.html
