I must admit to thinking they needed a deburr when I first looked at them :roll:
the 2nd pic actually shows where the deburr tool stopped rather than an impact, so they do need a little work to make them perfect, but thats part of the fun
Ok cool, not much heavier than 10:1 so still good for high rpm application
I think we spent something like almost 4 hours on our Wisecos pistons on deburring, polishing and making the best weights balance with the rods / pins / rings
Bugger man! I love your work. I'd love to come up and visit you when you're doing this. The pistons do look beautifully engineered. Almost geometrically similar to some of the aircraft components that we make in work.
I'm not sure how much cc the LSJ/Saab head is
Should be interesting to get some precise information about the real CR you should get, to choose the head gasket for example
Yeah, I got the SAAB head OK. It's configured with SAAB turbo cams. The sand cast gives the head a smoother finish on the inner surfaces, less air friction I reckon.
No modifications that needs any bigger efforts to solve.
A cover for the end of the other camshaft. Z22Se has 1 long and one short cam and SAAB has 2 long ones.
A new valvecover.
I'm going to reuse my piper 266 degree cams and +1mm valves from my z22se head.
I was going to get the cat cams stage 2's but noticed they are not much different to my piper 266's, I'm still not sure why I received 266 degree cams from piper when everyone else seem to get 260's notsure.gif
I also thought about getting a new set of valves, but they cost £200 for a set and to be honest when I flog my z22se head I would only get £200 more with valves fitted, so I see little point in the extra hassle of importing another set or perhaps I'm just lazy
edit: I have sold the complete set of saab 'turbo' valves
