This is probably the worse std pinto head that I have reconditioned as the valve seats were so receded and the valve guides were so worn I can’t believe it was still running 🤔🤷‍♂️
Lead free inserts & K-Liners and new valves & a Kent FR30 cam kit will bring this ford Transit back to life 🤗💪🏁

The importance of getting the pinto can geometry right 💪🏁
Bit of a long video but watch to the end (if your interested )
There are some people that say it doesn’t make any difference
BUT
I can assure you it dose and that’s possibly why our engine make the desired power and others don’t 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
If you think in layman’s terms to keep its simple
If the valves open 2mm more then it’s got to let more fuel and air in so a bigger Bang and more power 💥🤔🤗💪🏁

A little std 1300 Crossflow rebuild and Dyno
Still gets the same care and attention as. Full Race engine
Std 1300 GT is quoted @ 69 hp & 68 TQ
So this one giving 77hp & 74 TQ just by a blue print rebuild I am very happy with that
💪🏁💪🏁💪🏁🤗🤗🤗🤗

Just a STD reconditioned Lead free conversion Crossflow cylinder head
All of our cylinder heads are made with the same quality parts and care and attention as our race engines

All work done in house and this spec of cylinder heads is only £750 + vat plus a casting

RETIREMENT PLANS FOR 2030

I would like to set straight a few rumors that are going around to the FACT instead of fiction

Vulcan Engineering & HT Racing share a workshop as most people probably already know as as we are both getting old and like every responsible adults have to think about our future and make plans
So we have both decided that on 01-01-2030 we will both close the companies and retire

We both have long term jobs here and everyone of them will be done along with many many more over the coming 3 and a quarter years

I had a phone call today with a customer panicking as he had been told ( a rumor again ) that we are closing at the end of this year AND THIS IS NOT TRUE

SO TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR WE ARE RETIRING ON FIRST JANUARY TWENTY THIRTY

01-01-2030

Please share this fact

Another cylinder head repair underway
This one is a Rover V8 that dropped a insert

Welding by Alex of The Car Kitchen ,
the best welder I have ever used to reconstruct cylinder heads before I do my part

We just re built this 2000 cc IKE Engineering spec for your customer
We changed the cam from a 264 that had knocked out and we fitted a Kent 254 spec instead to give more TQ in the midd range
We bored out the inlet ports to our spec and raised the compression ratio from 10.2-1 to 11.4-1

The exhaust valves are off set and was hitting the rocker cover so we fitted a Alloy cover to fix that problem
We run the cam in on just the outer springs then added the inner springs to help bed the cam in
Lots of work but to be safe
