Engine upgrade - part #3 - parts

Now the larger parts of the engine are nicely packed into plastic bags for travel to the local engine workshop for a head port and cleaning.

Unfortunately I have been set on hold here because they're currently closed for Christmas holidays. Meanwhile more planning, more ordered parts and doing more research. I also took the opportunity to clean some hard to reach parts in the engine bay, as well as doing other normal winter maintenance stuff.

So far there have been surprisingly little documentation on the Cosworth parts I've received. It feels like it have been necessary to drag out the information I needed. My questions might have been of the newbie kind, but I can't believe that Cosworth can't tell me what torque or stretch to use for the con rod bolts, or point me in the right direction of where to find that information. But after reading on the bolt caps it didn't take long to figure out where the rods came from :-) - Carrillo - who had very good documentation on their website. But why couldn't Cosworth tell me that?

Quite the opposite has Steve at SBD Motorsport been. I don't know if I even asked a question, he provided me with all information I needed right away, and then even more details I didn't know I needed. On their website they have lots of instruction sheets and drawings. I like!

Burton Power have also been fast to reply on emails and have good reading in their catalogue and on their website. Their prices are good too!
