    Here's some photos from the CAMS inspection of the motor.

    ARP undercut head studs and custom high compression JE pistons



    Ports were CNC machined and finished by hand.



    Anyone recognise the block yet? (I'll write up the motor story soon)



    CAT cams with solid lifters.



    Valves are 34 x 28.5



    Dry sump adapter on block. I was also playing about with radiator hoses at this point.





    Inlet ports.





    Exhaust ports



    Customised head gasket.



    The CAMS engine seal.
