Machining for more power on a Formula Ford X/Flow | VW air cooled crank shaft balancing

In this video I modify a Formula Ford X/Flow cylinder head and pistons. I also balanced A few VW air cooled crank shaft assemblies.
We recieved a surprise gift from Charlie and I show you a glimpse of a Steve Sopers 1986 Etcc Eggenberger block, which is a 2.3 turbo, known as a Lima Pinto engine.
We finally relocated the super finisher.
Thanks for watching
James

Hi Peter, it knocked me for 6 the COVID actually still don't feel great. You take care as well. James

[@petermckee1061]

@@graceenginedevelopments Thanks James. This is the fourth time I've had it but the first was the really bad dose. I still don't think I completely recovered from that. This time it's not bad.
Forgot to say how much I enjoyed the video!
Cheers, Peter.

Drop exhaust valves 1.5 mm into the head and get inlets as high as possible.
It will widen torque band by cutting down on inversion.
5 angle.
Love your work.

[@julianjennings4638]

Would have thought that initially the conversation would have involved much of what was spoken about and the chap advised accordingly. This job seems to have been failing from the beginning, personally I would have spoken to the customer, found out problems and advised proper route. If the customer would not think that you were telling the truth then perhaps it would be best for them to find someone else do do this issue. Tut, Tut ,Tut, it seems that either no advice was given or if it was “ it fell on deaf ears”

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Are you talking about the flow? If so then the customer and I chatted about the changes to be made.
