Help on what work I should get done.

[TVRleigh]

Ok My block is at Thurstons, they have done a pressure test and it's all fine.

I thought it's worth getting the cam bearings changed.

Also I'm going to need to fit new rings.

Should I get a hone or just a de-glaze.

my main problem its going to be dificault to run the engine in.

so any advice will be handy. as I've never gone to this extreme before.

It's a 4.0 X-bolted block and it's going to rev to 6.5K 7k max. only going to be used on a track, but will only be tuned to about 230BHP

Thanks
Leigh

get it honed properly its much better and will help the rings bed in better. Your going to have to run it in with new rings/bearings anyway, difficult or not.

The problem I will have it will be difficault to run the engine with load.

unless having the gearbox in 4 or 5 and the wheels in the air, will give enough load to run the engine in.

as you can glaze the bores if there is no load.

Borrow an engine Dyno and run it in on the water break as you set it up ?

Don't think I have the room, or know anyone with a dyno, that would let me borrow one. not sure many people would lend me one.

Weld some nice big curved paddles on to some spare rims at an angle like a bike turbo trainer for an air resistance brake ?

well I did ask if just driving the wheels in the air would cause enough load, esp in 4th or 5th.

Ok I should have said take the engine to someone with an engine dyno.....
