maybe we actually broke through in 3 places! two went in to an area of the head that can easily be repaired/filled and i knew there was a chance of it happening but wasnt overly worried, the waterway hole was a real bummer though because its going to be dammed hard to get a tig to it and it means that port will have to stay smaller then the rest.

will Jed do it for you? or are you going to bite the bucket and buy yourself a new christamas present?

Sorry to hear about the head being scrapped, but sure the next one will be even better!

I just found some very good information about head porting etc for this engine here: http://www.metricmechanic.com/pdfs/m...ne-booklet.pdf

It may come in handy for you later on, port dimensions and flow graphs are all in there

thanks jason, already got it saved!

they do have one or two strange ideas though, like replacing a duplex timing chain with simplex on a full race engine

maybe it was a one off but the port that broke through wouldnt of gone out the the bigger sizes the metric mechanics lot say

the whole thing has ground to a serious halt, heads are easy to find if you want the rest of an engine attached which i cant afford, several people have told me they have heads but no ones actually coming through with the goods, the big nasty swine flu has cut me down, so i havnt worked for over a week, and willl of cost me a couple of K in lost income with lost overtime and productivity bonuses, fardon still havnt dont my crank, with a shortage of time and cash i might just chuck the towel in for now and wait until i can afford to build the motor i want to

Get us a couple of pics of where you've broke thru Gra, our tig sets have very small angled heads so we can get in and out of pipes so we may be able to repair it for you, wont cost you anything either

thanks mate when i finally get rid of this flu sh$$ i could be taking you up on that offer, i guess though that means i need to finish porting it incase we break through anywhere else!

Best to take it easy with that flu. Luckily I have not got it but a few family members have and it really takes it out of you.

I had it november 2009, it was the worst illness I've ever had! Hope you're recovering well Gray.

This question has probably been asked already but:

Is it possible to fit an S14 engine into a Mk2 Escort? I got a rally prepped shell and am thinking about engines.

[Graham]

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

anythings possible as they say, although the s14 having a front well to the sump will make life difficult as will the fact the engine is canted over 30 degrees leaving little room for an exhaust in an escort,

its also an expensive engine to tune, in this instance a duratec would make a much better choice

[Carsten2002]

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

hmm yeah, you're right.. especially now since off the shelf solutions exist for both duratecs and zetecs

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!





fresh from my trip to manchester not 1 but 2 s14 heads and a cam carrier and at a very very reasonable price

many thanks to e21jason for putting me onto them

Nice one Graham! Now be more careful with these ones!

What a result Graham, hope you're feeling a bit better now too so you can crack on with the engine
