Parts Arrive


All gaskets to rebuild the head, and a mk11 intake manifold


All Cleaned up


Quite smooth on the inlet side


Ridges on the outlet side at the end of the steel allignment inserts


The alignment inserts.

Plan for manifold modifications:
  1. Port match to carbs, -Reduce flow restrictions
  2. Expand and debur at alignment inserts, -Reduce flow restrictions
  3. Tapper/sharpen end of inserts, - Reduce turbulance inside port
  4. Block off vaccuum port on balance bar, - Going to run the crankcase vent to front of carbs similar to current setup
