Kerzan in Christchurch sell valve seat materials and guides. I wouldn't mess around reusing anything. Rough guide for interferences, 0.007" for seats in alloy head, 0.0015" to 0.002" for guides.
@sampinion5796 OK thankyou, yes will be using new guides, seats and valves ect. Just practicing the machining ect with a defective casting and used bits.
Sick. It's amazing how many things there are in a cylinder head that have to be the correct size, where in an existing head you don't even think about e.g. the hole for the buckets. Are you planning on cutting the valve seat angles in the mill? You already have the setup for the correct angle the guides were bored at
@corey_nz Yes its pretty impressive and a little overwhelming at how precise all the different tolerances of the different parts of a head are but looking forward to the challenge. Yes I think that is the current plan to do it in the mill, I will have to get some more cutters ect and learn a little more about the best way to zero the spindle on the guide.
@rickybobby7660 Very nice, I do have a good mate who is a fitter turner who has built engines like this before and he is my go to for knowledge. Definitely appreciate another opinion as the more knowledge the better
Oooh update time!
Can't wait to hear her fire up when she's all ready!
@@DustyVisorMotorcycles I dream about that day often.
@@TheMotorcycleForge I'm sure1 You will have to bring her South when she's done.😎
@@DustyVisorMotorcycles Yep will definitely be bringing it to levels for testing as it's more fun than Ruapuna.
@@TheMotorcycleForge Please keep me posted, happy to help bump start her.
@DustyVisorMotorcycles Will do, may be a while as there is so much to do.
Sold my fxr but still a hardcore viewer keep the content going and thank you !!🙌🙌
@@shariefbegg4782 Will do!

If you want some race anyone tolerances and fits for guides, seats etc let me know I’ll dig some old build sheets out
@rickybobby7660 oh wow that would be awesome.
Keen to get another opinion for sure.
What sort of race engines did you build?
@@TheMotorcycleForge I’ll dig some old notes out. Was bespoke racing V8’s for single seaters

Can you make prosthetic vertebrae?
@ToughReganZ Anything for you, tough guy 😉
Okay, so you're wearing a Suzuki hat and Kawi jumper. You got a Honda hat, what others
@nathanvanlieshout7834 I also have a ducati cap, a 46 Rossi cap and a Britten cap 😅
@@TheMotorcycleForge Did you get your inspiration to make the head from Britain
@nathanvanlieshout7834 Yeah exactly, he showed me that anything is possible and John Britten is a local hero around here.
