Alfa 126

The last months I worked on a new engine. A 1,7L 16V engine. Here are some picture:

During the time my car was by a coachbuilder. He has a few dents eliminated and reworked the fenders. Now the fenders looks very good and the car ready to paint when I have decomposed it.

Great project! I support you!

Today, I finished the new, 2mm bigger, inlet and outlet valves.

On the right side is the inlet valve as it comes out of stock. Original its from a Seat.
And at the other side it is in an optimized form. With an inner correction of 30°.

Outlet Valve. The problem was to find a Valve with the same ... in the correct size. So I took a valve from BMW which 3mm too large and worked with it extensively on the lathe.
Here is on the right side a picture of the valve is in the form of original BMW. I've just been ground down the outside diameter fits.
On the left side you can see where I turned(?) (Whats the verb of lathe? to lathe???).
the lower part of the shaft I thinned.
Change the radius to the valve plate down and and the valve disk I made thinner.

The next was an inner correction with 20° and an inner correction with 30°.

The last weeks, I built my rollcage:

In January, I finished the rollcage.





Now, it's powder coated in black.
Last weekend I built a lens hood(?) with carbon fiber.
