Old Speed Power

This was the base for building a Old Speed powerplant, a very good used (only 30 hours) pumpengine.
The plan is to pep up the little 30-horse powerplant a little.
Picture shows the parts that will be used to bolt the engine back together.
This is the list of things that are done:
- the heads have lost some volume in the combustionchamber (to achive the desired compressionratio of 8/1)
- original intakevalves will be replaced with 33mm valves
- 3-angle valve job will be performed to increase the flow
- NOS Okrasa cam will be dropped in the case
- NOS FRAM-filter will take care of the oilfiltering
- breathing will be handled by a Riechert kit
- exhaust gasses are going to escape thru a merged header.
Stayed tuned to see a picture of the finished engine...
