Pricing for the top end:

First, whats it worth if you were to purchase it new:
-------------------------------------------------------
Camshaft kit (Cams, lifters, springs, spring retainers) = 12.547.- DKR
Valve adjustment shims (Approx. 30 pcs. including spares) = 1050.- DKR
dbilas individual throttlebody kit = 10.810.- DKR
-------------------------------------------------------
Total market value = 24.407.- DKR (Plus sales tax)
Approx. 4710.- USD (Plus sales tax)
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------

I'm asking 13.000.- DKR (2480.- USD) for the lot.

This is including the following:
* Cylinderhead (With cams all shimmed up)
* Waterpump
* Almost every new bolt, and nut for the engine.
* All new guides for the chain.
* Cam chain
* sprockets for the cams (Intake + exhaust)
* I'll include the new Oilpump too

Also available, another spare cylinderhead for 6mm valves. Will sell this for 600.- USD

Again, the buyer will have to pay the shipping. will calculate when I have a serious buyer.

All payment will be in the Danish kroner currency, so the USD ammounts is dependant on the actual exchange rate

cecotto-I've been following your blood sweat and tears from your work and now you have to focous in another direction. I hope everything is o.k, and also hope that you can find a really serious buyer, because your involvement for this build has been a long time in it's construction stages. I must say that I respect and admire your determination on your builds.

Hi Dude.

Thanks for your thoughts. Things are actually going okay in general. Still got my job and my income. But i've just been realizing that the project was taking up space, but not my time. And started making some rough calculation on what it would take to finalize the engine in the spirit that I want. And i'm just not prepared for the extra spending at this point in time.

This combined with the fact that the car, that the engine was intended for is heading quietly, but steady to the sunset of it's life. Has gotten me to the decission that selling off the parts is the right thing to do. And in one to two years I dont think i'll be driving it anymore anyway. This hurts a little as I really like the car, and has gotten attached to it through the years (Close to ten now).

But it's my decission, and if I dont follow it. I'm sure I'll just have the parts stashed up in a couple of years time from now anyway.

However I would like to see how much power the eventual buyer (If any will come forward) will make of the parts. All this said, it actually kind of hurts to sell them off. It feels a little like a failure. I was pretty dedicated and focused at one time.

cecotto · « **Reply #108 on:** September 04, 2009, 01:42:34 PM »

Ive been meaning to update this, last week I sold the bottom end.

So now there's only the top end left:
- Head (lapped valves)
- cat cams camshafts
- modified for mechanical operation
- solid lifters (valves all adjusted)
- springs, retainers
- chain sprockets
- dbilas individual throttle bodies

I'm asking 11.000.- Dkr for the lot (approx 2100.- usd)

I sold off some if the things listed above to be included with the head. So the price is reduced.

The throttle bodies are still available, there are no chip though.

I would recomend you having a custom made, to fit the other modifications (if any)

A little more detail about the cams..

A long time ago i made a valve lift comparison on the Standard VS Catcams intake.

Note the soft leading and trailing ramps. These are for decelerating the valves before seating. And for taking up the valve clearance without hammering. As the cams are for mechanical operation (Not Hydraulic).

What you will se are actual valve lift figures.

Unfortunately I never got around to doing the exhausts. But the intake will give an idea on the cams.

fabe · « **Reply #119 on:** December 24, 2009, 03:53:10 AM »

What are the specs for the valves+springs+retainers??? What max rpm can the valvetrain take? 7mm or 6mm?

tempting.....
