Just doing valve guides, a little deshrouding of the valves and a good valve job. New valve springs and retainers as well.

Thanks! Hopefully see you out at the ridge?

Any updates?

Waiting for parts to come in, tested some ideas for cams that will work out! Also working on a CF plenum to open up the intake side and keep the plenum flaps. Getting quotes on the headers and exhaust as well... Things are moving, just not a lot of pictures lately!

Jamie it all comes together but there's always anxiety but trust the individuals you've chosen. Just keep the build pics coming. All others and myself love to see it come together.
I'll say again, not sure that a CF intake plenum is a good "bang 4 the buck".
All the best with the build.

Hey Ranger,

Thanks, the intake plenum should come out a little less than the factory 4.0 parts and the difference between the 3.6 and 4.0L plenums are definitely worth taking a look at...

Jamie,

Is the CF inlet modelled on the factory 4.0?

Jay

Hey Jay, sorry missed this.

Yes, the CF plenums are modeled after the 4.0 including the center section all in CF!

Ur20v

Good call, no point reinventing the wheel.

Good luck.

Should have more pics of the machined case, cylinders and possibly some heads done... As soon as I get them will post up!

Great! Enjoy the process and take your time. Doing these builds is more fun than the end-result!

Jamie_GT3

Question for you Serge, did you use the 4.0L fuel injectors? I know the factory bore is 102.7 and ours are 105. The wider spray pattern should help with hot spots, but did you do it with yours?

Picture Update

To complement the 4.0RS Plenum we needed to open up the lower manifolds
see the difference!

Cams are finishing up, machining all done, waiting on the crank and rods to arrive to put her together!
