As I said earlier, I may be old but I understand that 'erb' is something one may choose to smoke in a large rolled up cigarette, whereas 'herbs' was a 70s television series for children.

I`m not sure if you`ve sorted your clearance problem with your coolant pipe?
But i removed the angled pipe from mine and cut down the block it`s mounted to,
Then refitted the angled pipe.
Hope this helps

He should have got the plate i made for him by now, maybe hies out fitting it?

Id bloody well hope hes got it, fed up of sh*tty collection and delivery services

just got home from a manic weekend down in stafford. been awesome. two parcels await me. i guess one is the plate, and the other is brake parts

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

:woot: Should have the brake calliper plates done this week too, Just gna do one set for now and save the progam on the machine for the future

Yes I will more than likely need a set for the full GT set up on the 1.4 16V Sei.

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Did you get the adaptor plate picked up mark?

Jordan

 

[arc]

i did, but am worried am gonna have to go for plan b now. with the plate fitted, it puts the inlet manifold a lot closer to the bulkhead

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Shame, took the thickness into consideration but it needed a decent slope for the injector spray otherwise it would've created a bad fuel drag. Tried my best with one hand to make it look good, ended up leaving it with someone to do and they put a hole in it that was too big so i had to plug weld a bolt in (as you can see) and they took slices out of the back TBH doesnt look great, would prob do the job if there wasnt a space issue though. I do much better work obviously whe its actually me doing it and i have two hands

Whats plan B then? i could do you a full stainless Inlet?

Jordan

 

[arc]

yeah, its my fault i should've mesaured it all first and checked what size the plate could've been.. doh! i know what you mean re the thickness though, it does have to be that thick.

plan b is to sell my current head and 'fix' my spare 75 head :devil:

there has been a lot of talk of port sizes etc with these heads. im going to clear something up here and now. This isn't "i think this, or that" this is fact:

Punto75 head has larger inlet ports than the Punto60. They are larger still than my head, which was been ported.

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

and the 75 inlet valves are bigger than some 60's valves arent they?

a nicely worked 75 head should yield some great increases, what cam are you going for again? a 75 or re-worked GSR? Barini & Columbine (sp) ?

One thing to note is there's a difference between rev 1 and rev 2 Punto 60 heads. I've had them side by side. The rev 2 looks like it could possibly be a Punto 75 head, but I couldn't be sure as I never had them side by side as a comparison.

Youd know by the port shape on the 75 head because of the injector spray pattern on the inlet ports, more egg shaped.

the 75 inlet valves are bigger than the early 60 heads yes, but the same size as my SPI head.

I'm using the 75 cam from my SPI head, i do not want a wild cam as ultimately this engine will be turbo'd and i don't want massive overlap. Considering in stock form the 75 has larger ports.. and its currently being ported and the manifold taken out to match.. it should be nicer. breifly discussed bigger valves, but dismissed that.

 

[arc]

btw, these turbos dont really fit.. makes a nice paper weight tho hehe. VNT turbo.. no wastegate.. actuator to adjust the vane posistions to acheive boost levels.. its witch craft i tells thee

No he means that from looking at the bottom of the head the 60 and 75 heads look simlar.

 

[arc]

where abouts are we looking? combustion chamber? They do look very similar.

from the side, you can see port differences, inlet manifold stud pattern differences and also a difference in the way the waterway bolts on. (75 has two bolts vs the 60's 1.)
