Next week I will pick up my 230 from workshop and by that Im pretty ready for assembly.

 

Whats done to it already

I cleaned out the worst and did a fairly easy port matching in direction of flow.

Cleaned out the worst lumps inside cast iron manifold.

cleaned out all ruff casting and filling i the lower block. It will be painted then with glypthal.

Head was smoothed in combustion chamber and milled down a bit to get around 1:8 compression. I will cc adjust it next.

block has been rebored and decked.

crank has been fully grinded.

Pistons and rods has been induvidualy weight matched and then matched when assembled.

I am going to put a 1/4 spacer under preassure oil valve.

i will use electronic ignition.

I will use a 32/36 Weber and do a tune to set the best size jets and so on.

Cam has been grinded with some more lift.

Block has been chemical cleaned and flush out.

 

Long list to get to my question...

1 What more to do before I star assembling?
