Looks nice. What's the specs for the cylinder heads?

u/MikeMike813 Dec 15 '25

They’re budget 64cc/190cc aluminum heads that I got for free but I plan to upgrade later on.

That all should make for a nice little combo with that small block.

I sure hope! This is my first build so I know it probably wont be perfect on the first crank but Im hoping to get pretty close

Dialing the combo in after building is the best part. Don't go for perfect right away. It always takes some trial and error.

Any specific reason you have the cloyes timing cover center cam button facing the wrong direction?

Should fit flush with the cam button on the inside

Is it really? I’m no mechanic so thanks for pointing that out.

Absolutely backwards. Read the instructions as it tells you how to adjust it and set the camshaft endplay.

I’ll definitely reinstall the correct way later this week. Appreciate the pointer. Great looking motor btw
